• Iron (acid extracted): ≤0.02%

Why Choose ROX Carbon?

• Delivers crystal clear water by efficiently removing toxins, color, and odor—often using half the amount of standard carbons
• Trusted in high-purity applications like pharmaceuticals and food processing

Usage

1. Rinse thoroughly with freshwater or RO water until runoff is clear
2. Use in a media reactor, canister filter, hang-on filter, or fine-mesh media bag (≤300 µm) in a high-flow area
3. For reactor use, avoid over-tumbling; aim for gentle agitation
4. Dosage: 1 tbsp per 10 US gallons (~150 mL per 400 L) or 1/4 cup per 25 gal
5. Replace every 1–2 weeks depending on bioload and water quality needs
6. Introduce gradually at higher doses to avoid rapid water chemistry shifts
