Freshwater Essential® Plant Essential® Canister Carbon™ (Pelletized Activated Carbon) boasts exceptional mechanical strength, meticulously engineered to endure the intense water pressures commonly encountered within canister filters. This robust quality ensures longevity and consistent performance. Additionally, Freshwater Essential® Plant Essential® Canister Carbon™ incorporates enhanced hydrodynamics, facilitating the smooth passage of water with minimal resistance, which maximizes filtration efficiency and effectiveness.

Furthermore, Freshwater Essential® Plant Essential® Canister Carbon™ is highly efficient in removing a wide array of impurities. It effectively eliminates organic waste, harmful toxins, and phenols that cause discoloration, as well as unpleasant odors, heavy metals, chlorine, and chloramine. Importantly, it achieves this without leaching phosphate, thus maintaining a stable pH balance, and without releasing any of the contaminants it has adsorbed back into the water.

Remarkably versatile, Freshwater Essential® Plant Essential® Canister Carbon™ is suitable for various types of filters, including canister filters, internal filters, powder filters, and hang-on filters, along with other high-pressure and high-flow equipment. This versatility makes it an ideal choice for aquarists seeking top-tier water quality and clarity in their aquatic environments.
