Has any one ever hooked two of the to-16s up in series. I love the concept with no filter media and easy clean, so would the second one catch the 20% the first one let go by, or would it serve no purpose and be a waste of money?

Great question. As far as using two ""in series"", most likely you’re going to get diminishing returns – the second may catch more debris that the first didn’t, but most of the what passes through the first will just be the kind of debris that cyclonic filtration just isn’t designed to catch (so it would just go through the second as well). However, people commonly use two (or more) together ""in parallel"", often on high capacity pools that would have a high filtration workload.
