We would highly recommend if you are unsure what is used in your incoming water ie Chlorine or Chloramine to contact your supplier first to ask before you purchase,this will make sure you purchase the correct unit,you can also call us for any help or queries you may have.

These come complete with Carbon pre-loaded, with either  G.A.C Coconut shell  Based carbon,Catalytic Carbon or Bone Char.

Catalytic Carbon

Please Note: If you live in an area where Chloramine is present in high levels we would always recommend purchasing the big blue which is filled with Catalytic Carbon, as this is a Carbon which has been specifically designed to use for this purpose.

G.A.C  

In areas where just Chlorine in just present standard Gac Coconut based Carbon will be fine, just always buy as large a unit as possible.

Bone char

Bone Char is primarily used in industries to remove water staining,but it’s also superb at removing heavy metals and which makes it so useful to the koi keeper as many suffer with this in their incoming water,it’s not the best at removing Chlorine or Chloramine that some may suggest it is……

These Big Blues are without any doubt the best water purifiers on the market.

Remember these are easily recharged and are not a throw away item……!

Chlorine burns fish, it can damage their scales and gills and in severe situations it can even kill.

The filter used to remove chlorine from water is called a In simple terms the purifier and works by passing water through activated carbon and out into the pond providing chemically cleaner, chlorine free water, it will also remove many nasty heavy metals,pesticides etc etc.

The Chlorine content in water varies from area to area so there are no hard and fast rules as to how long the carbon will work before it is exhausted and needs to be changed, however the life of the carbon can be prolonged by regularly back-flushing the unit to prevent tracking.

This Purifier is available in 3 different size to suit all needs 24″36″and 48″ and all come supplied ready to work with the following included.

Certain models on the market state their units with approx 1 kg of carbon in and the larger unit of 1.5kg can do 225,000ltr’s and 550,000 ltr’s before exhausted, see below for how much carbon are our units and we will let you make you own mind up which are more economical to use…!

Please Note:

It’s impossible to give an accurate figure on how many ltrs per minute these units can do, or how long the Carbon will last,this is due to so many different factors of which the main one is everybody’s water in every area of the country is different, and secondly water authorities in different parts of the country use different amounts or chemicals to dechlorinate the water.

One of the most important pieces of equipment needed in koi Keeping never under estimate how bad water straight from the tap can be,especially in Summer……!
