I had the oportunity to test compare pellet vs granules.
The main findings were:
a) I was not able to test if the pellet loose less material or not than the granules but it is noticeable that pellets are easier to rinse and have less fines than granules
b) Pellets provided a better flow distribution troughout the media bed than granules, this seems to have reduced (but not eliminated) the media tendency for clumping together due to calcium carbonate carbonate precipitation thus extending the useful life of the media allowing for enough time for complete depletion.
