COCO CARB activated carbon from coconut shell. COCO CARB is a high quality activated carbon manufactured from coconut shell. Compared to traditional activated carbon the number of micropores is greater and the effective surface area larger (1 g ≈ 1000 m2). This structure in COCO CARB ensures exceptional adsorptive properties, useful for cleansing water of the smallest particles that affect colour and smell. It reduces the concentration of many toxic compounds, including numerous medications, pesticides, organochlorine compounds and fixes the heavy metal ions. It helps to create and maintain optimal water quality in freshwater and marine aquaria containing delicate and demanding fish, especially wild-caught specimens, which may not tolerate chemicals typically found in tap water.

1. Longer Lasting:
   • Coconut shell activated carbon filters tend to have a longer lifespan compared to other types of activated carbon filters. Their dense and durable structure allows them to maintain their effectiveness over an extended period.
2. Minimal Dust and Sediment Release:
   • Activated carbon filters made from coconut shell typically produce minimal dust and sediment during the filtration process, resulting in cleaner water and reduced maintenance requirements for the filtration system.
3. Compatibility with Various Filtration Systems:
   • Coconut shell activated carbon filters are compatible with a wide range of filtration systems, including under-sink filters, countertop filters, pitcher filters, whole-house filtration systems, and aquarium filters.
4. Effective in Removing Organic Compounds:
   • Coconut shell activated carbon is particularly effective in removing organic compounds from water, such as trihalomethanes (THMs), benzene, toluene, and xylene, which may be harmful to health if ingested.
5. Cost-Effective:
   • Despite their high performance, coconut shell activated carbon filters are often cost-effective compared to other filtration media. They provide excellent value for money in terms of water purification.

When choosing an activated carbon filter made from coconut shell, it’s essential to consider factors such as pore size, mesh size, and the specific contaminants it can effectively remove to ensure it meets your water filtration needs. Regular replacement of the activated carbon filter is also important to maintain water quality and filtration efficiency.
