Replacement cartridges for Zoo Med's Economy Turtle Clean filters, in versions for the Small and Medium models. The cartridge carries activated carbon along with the mechanical media — the carbon is what pulls colour and dissolved organics out of turtle water, and it is also the part that exhausts first.
Benefits
- Two versions — for the Small (10) and Medium (20) filters.
- Activated carbon — removes dissolved organics and discolouration.
- Rinsable — the mechanical media can be rinsed between changes.
Getting the most out of them
Rinse the cartridge in old tank water rather than under the tap — chlorinated water kills the beneficial bacteria colonising the media, which is half of what the filter is doing. Carbon has a finite life; once it is spent, rinsing no longer helps and the cartridge needs replacing. Keep a spare so you never have to run the filter empty.
