I saw these and was wondering if they could be used as a hopback as well as a filter system. Waiting to see if anyone has more info...

It looks similar to the now defunct sedex filters

I have a large bouncer, if you have a lot of particles in your wort then yeah, but you'll need to buy the extra filters if it's fine particles. If you use one post ferment, make sure you are careful to fill it properly so as to purge air etc so as you don't end up filling your beer with air.
I don't have facilities for cold crashing, so the clearer the wort I can get into the FV the better.

I have one and use the finer blue filter. I bought it to remove any larger sediment during transfer after I had issues with a beer out post getting blocked with hop debris that I transferred across. It is really overpriced for what it is, especially as you have to buy a set of filters to get the finer one, but it does the job well, I usually find a fair bit of gunk in the filters when I clean it and there will be no way any dry hops could make it through. I also bought some 1/2NPT to 3/8" JG fittings so I could do the transfer with 3/8" liner instead of flexible tubing. I have used it at about 15psi for pressure transfer from my snubnose and it held (after sorting a few leaks). The long flat gasket between the 2 main parts is starting to deteriorate on mine, not looked yet but hopefully these are easy to find.
Doubt it would work well as a hopback as it clogs quite easily, Id guess any more than about 10g hop pellets would block the filter.
