The AquaFX Chloramine Blaster Carbon Refill is a highly specialized filtration media designed for use in RO/DI systems to effectively remove or significantly reduce chlorine, ammonia, and particularly chloramine from your tap water. It is an essential component for reef aquarium enthusiasts who understand the critical importance of pure, contaminant-free water for the health and vitality of their marine inhabitants, as standard carbon blocks often fall short in addressing complex chloramine compounds.

This high-grade carbon boasts a high degree of catalytic redox activity and an exceptionally large surface area, properties crucial for breaking down and eliminating chloramine. Each 0.5 cubic foot package contains 1.2 pounds of carbon, providing enough material to refill one Chloramine Blaster cartridge. The carbon is acid-washed and pH buffered for optimal performance and safety, and it is vital to pack it loosely within the filter cartridge, leaving approximately 1/4 inch of space at the top, to prevent channeling and ensure maximum contact time with the water.

This refill is best suited for saltwater aquarists and reef keepers living in areas where municipal water supplies use chloramine as a disinfectant, or for those who demand the highest level of water purity for their sensitive ecosystems. By using this advanced carbon, hobbyists can confidently produce RO/DI water free from harmful toxins, thereby safeguarding their corals, fish, and invertebrates from the detrimental effects of ammonia and chlorine by-products often present in tap water.
