Cool Carbon

Hi there,

How often should I change the carbon media from the filtration elements?

Thank you

The simple answer is that the carbon should be changed when it is exhausted.

How long that takes will depend on many factors; amount of carbon, type of carbon, water parameters. If you are monitoring a water parameter influenced by carbon, just change when the values change. If not, your guess is as good as mine.
