Activated carbon filter d100 filled with high-performance activated carbon pellets for easy removal of yellow substances, nettle toxins, and medication residues.

This simple filter can be equipped with different sieves and connections. Additional valves (drain, vent) as well as an electrode connection (also retrofitted) can also be added.

Field of operation of the AquaCare Activated Carbon Filter:

this filter is driven in upstream operation
For higher flow rates, the downstream process can also be used

Characteristics of the AquaCare Activated Carbon Filter:

suitable of a very large field of filter materials
effective retention of the filter material by inlet and outlet screen
filled with very low-dust activated carbon
and of course , made of German quality acrylic material

Erection of the AquaCare Activated Carbon Filter:

in the filter sump
external (beside, under or over the aquarium)
hang-on (outside at the aquarium)
hang-in (inside of the filter sump)
wall mounting

Necessary accessories:

water inlet supply with enough pressure (bypass of a main pump of a small pump)
a vent valve in the cover is required for the downstream process

The feed water from the aquarium is pumped into the system by means of a bypass of the main pump or an additional feed pump. The water flows from bottom to top through the filter. The unwanted substances are removed from the water and safely bound by the coal.

We recommend to use the activated carbon only every 1 to 3 months, because activated carbon also removes some desired substances, e.g. iodine. After approx. 1 week filtering the used activated carbon should be removed again. Possibly add trace elements and iodine.

If medication is used, remove the activated carbon beforehand and filter it over activated carbon after treatment according to the instructions of the medication.
