Loving Pets Acurel LLC Extreme Activated Carbon Pellets, 45-Ounce

I’m able to use this for a couple of purposes.First off the pellets work great in an aquarium filter. Unlike other carbon pieces that have rough edges and hence produce a lot of dust, these give off a minimum of dust. I’m never happy with having to spend a lot of time rinsing carbon whenever I have to replace it, why soak up chemicals from the rinsing water and reduce the lifetime of the pellets. Reduced rinsing means more bad stuff they can remove from the tank water before needing to replace the carbon, this saves money in the long run. As a replacement for the other rough stuff these work great. I was concerned that the smooth exterior of the pellets wouldn’t allow them to absorb as much crud as the rough pieces but when testing the water and over months of using it I haven’t found any difference. The water is clear and the fish healthy.The second use is rather unconventional. I have a freeze dryer that uses a vacuum pump. The pump can only run so long on the oil it uses before has to be replaced, or filtered. The oil isn't cheap, a 4 liter/1 gallon jug is $60 or more. Part of the filtering process is the need to remove acids and other substances from the oil that can cause corrosion in the pump. Like for the aquarium I previously used the rough broken kernels but started using these pellets to filter the oil when I discovered that I didn’t have to deal with a bunch of dust that in this case couldn’t be rinsed out, it needed to be filtered out. With the minimal dust these give off I can skip the rinsing process and not worry about clogging the mechanical filter with carbon dust.For the price this stuff is a good deal considering how much you get and the minimal work required to use it.

Worked perfectly well for ma cat water fountain. Good stream and no resistance. No carbon found in bowl where cats drink.

Works Great & Worth the Money

Worth it!

Great product for filtering.
