EHEIM Karbon Activated 1 L Activated Carbon

EHEIM - Activated Carbon 1 L

Description

Adsorbent means to attach (as opposed to absorb = to absorb). Adsorbent filter media are materials that remove harmful substances from the water and fix or bind them. This concerns, for example, chlorine from tap water, medication residues, or traces of detergents, pesticides, dyes, etc.
 

Characteristics

EHEIM KARBON is particularly suitable for clarifying water during the aquarium's initial setup phase. Especially, chlorine from tap water and other chemical substances that enter the aquarium during its setup are reliably deposited.
EHEIM KARBON is used for a short period (about 4 weeks) in a layered structure after the mechanical filter media (e.g., EHEIM MECH or MECHpro) and biological filter media (e.g., EHEIM SUBSTRATpro) in the provided mesh bag.

- Binds chlorine and other chemical substances
- Used, for example, after a new setup or medication treatment
- Use for a limited duration (about 4 weeks)
- Suitable only for freshwater

Advice

Only use adsorbent filter media for a few weeks. Since pollutants only adhere, they can dissolve again after some time and be released back into the water. At least regular replacement is necessary. Adsorption filtering is generally only needed during the aquarium's initial setup phase or after using medications.
