Use it when water clarity is good but the pond smells or looks faintly yellow or brown from tannins and dissolved organics, situations where mechanical filtration alone is not enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFilter Layers\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCoarse mechanical + activated carbon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompatible With\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePondmaster PM500 pressurized filter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCarbon Effect\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAbsorbs odours, tannins, dissolved organics\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eReplacement Frequency\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEvery 1 to 3 weeks depending on bioload\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall in the PM500 pre-filter stage in place of the standard coarse pad. Carbon capacity exhausts within one to three weeks depending on dissolved organic load. Once saturated, it stops absorbing. At that point, rinse the pad in pond water to restore mechanical filtration function, or replace with a fresh carbon pad to continue chemical absorption. Do not use when fish are being treated with medications, carbon removes medication from the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFits the Pondmaster PM500 pressurized filter only. Recommended for ponds with tannin discolouration from leaf debris or persistent organic odour despite good mechanical filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pondmaster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52698424574271,"sku":"PM-12207","price":16.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8260\/9215\/files\/pondmaster-replacement-parts-default-title-pondmaster-carbon-coarse-filter-for-pm500-43287416897855.jpg?v=1776379671","url":"https:\/\/pondsonline.ca\/products\/pondmaster-carbon-coarse-filter-for-pm500","provider":"Ponds Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
