Buccal Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Carbon works great,,, but the bad thing about it is, is that it exhausts only about 10% into time between filter cleans.Once it exhausts, it's a waiste of space and will actually leach what it's extracted back out.If you have finished using meds or have fine partical or tannin,,, then carbon can be used to clear up the water then discarded as its extremely short term and disposable,,, a very effective thing when used as a correct tool.Better of with Purigen,,,, as it doesn't leech out and is rechargeable with pure bleach.Buy twice the amount so it can be rotated.Purigen is purely a mechanical media.
