A similar product by eheim advises - do not use together with active carbon, is there any truth in this with the fluval product ? what advice ?

I use it together with active carbon. Whilst in my experience it will still soften the water/reduce pH, I think the active carbon does counteract the browning/yellowing of the water to some degree

Does this work with U2 type one?

There are videos on YouTube so you can see how this filter works.

Does this reduce ph and kh simultaneously? If so, does anyone know how much i would need for 600l tropical?

No it won’t affect KH, and peat will have less affect at higher KH.
