High Porosity Activated Filter Carbon
EcoCarbon high porosity activated filter carbon safely and quickly removes discoloration, odor and dissolved organics from pond water.
EcoCarbon works by adsorption, a process that allows discoloration and dissolved organics to accumulate on the microscopic pores and tunnels found within the activated carbon pellet.
EcoCarbon is ideal for use in pond applications and will not cause algae.
• Removes water discoloration (tannins)
• Quickly reduces odors
• Reduces organics
• Removes chlorine from tap water
EcoCarbon safely clears tea-colored pond water.
EcoCarbon is highly effective at removing dissolved organics from the pond water, such as stains and discoloration caused by leaves and organic debris.
EcoCarbon is also an effective method to remove trace amounts of chlorine and chloramines
All sizes come with a Mesh Bag..
Activated carbon easily removes from your pond water:
• Stains
• Discoloration
• Chlorine
• Chloramine
• Odors
• Pesticides
• Detergents
• Includes Media Net
EcoSystems EcoCarbon is a safe, eco-friendly method for removing pollutants from pond water.
EcoSystems EcoCarbon is manufactured using select grades of bituminous coal.
The coal is heated to extremely high temperatures causing carbon to become “activated” like a magnet.
Pollutants physically stick (absorb) to the surface of the EcoSystems EcoCarbon removing them from the pond water.
EcoSystems EcoCarbon is highly porous and contains an enormous amount of surface area for the pollutants to adsorb.
As a matter of fact, one pound of carbon contains the surface area equal to six football fields!
EcoSystems EcoCarbon quickly clears water stained and discolored by leaves and organic debris.
EcoSystems EcoCarbon is also an extremely effective method for the removal of both chlorine and chloramines caused by city tap water.
DIRECTIONS:
The filtration capabilities of EcoSystems EcoCarbon depend on the amount of pollutants and dissolved organics present in the pond.
The greater the levels of pollutants the quicker the carbon will be exhausted.
It is best to remove as many leaves and debris as possible from the pond in order to increase the effectiveness and lifespan of the EcoSystems EcoCarbon. .
Typically, 18 pounds EcoSystems EcoCarbon will treat a 3,600 gallon pond for 2-3 months.
Treatment rates can be increased if necessary without any adverse affect on aquatic life.
In some cases, such as discoloration, a one-time dose is all that is needed to remove unwanted substances from the pond.
Simply leave the net containing the exhausted carbon in the BIOFALLS® as additional surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize.
The carbon can then be disposed of during the annual pond cleaning.
Calculations: The number of gallons in a pond can be determined by taking the length (ft.) x width (ft.) x average depth (ft.) x 7.48.
STEP BY STEP:
• Place the required amount of EcoSystems EcoCarbon in the provided mesh bag and tighten the drawstring on the bag.
• Rinse the bag with tap water to remove any dust on the carbon.
• The bag containing the EcoSystems EcoCarbon can be simply set on top of the media bags (lava rock) in the BIOFALLS®.
This will provide the EcoSystems EcoCarbon with optimum water contact.
Application Rates:
How Much: 5 lbs. of EcoCarbon per 1000 gallons of pond water.
How Often: A one-time dose is all that is needed to remove unwanted substances from the pond.
Simply leave the net containing the exhausted carbon in the BIOFALLS® as additional surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize.
Note: Please make sure to store unused EcoCarbon™ in a sealed container.
Available in the following sizes:
4 lb (Treats up to 800 gal for 6 weeks) – 99666
9 lb (Treats up to 1,800 gal for 6 weeks) – 99401
18 lb (Treats up to 3,600 gal for 6 weeks) - 29153
