{FAQ}

The Cartridge Set


"DD HMA 200 LD" has a 9-7/8" x 4.5 inch sediment filter and Spectrum 870 PCB-10-LD carbon. The pre filter will remove sediment down to 1 micron and protects the carbon cartridges from blocking or channelling, there by lengthening the useful life. The PCB filter will remove Chlorine and Chloramine if present along with some organically bonded metals.

Please be aware that carbon can raise the pH value of tap water. Flushing the filter may lower the pH to nearer the tap water value, likewise storing it for 24 hours to allow the carbon dioxide level to stabalise may see it lower.

What is in the box?

You will receive your DD HMA 200 LD filter "ready to use." The filter is supplied fully assembled, with the cartridge set installed and on a heavy duty bracket, the inlet / outlet fittings you have selected will be fitted, a housing wrench, and full instructions.
If you have selected the 3/8 or 1/2 inch John Guest options, they are also supplied with a ¾ bsp to push fit connector to draw water from your mains supply, easy to fit to washing machine fittings, outside taps, or plumbed to any supply valve. A 5 meter length of tube is also supplied.
**Please the Hozelock fitting version is not supplied with any hose or hose connectors.**


{Is there any waste water?}

No you can use every drop of water that passes through the filter. If you turn it off for more than a few days it is advisable to flush a few litres through it to remove the older water.

Will my pH be affected?

Most carbon based products will increase the waters pH , however this is usually only temporary and in the main not an issue, flushing 100 / 200 litres of water through the filter will normally see the product water pH in line with the tap water value - as a fishkeeper you should only really be interested at the chemistry of the water when you add it to the tank, not as it is produced from the HMA or RO as you can of course adjust the pH and hardness accordingly. It is not possible to predict "what will happen" as water around the UK varies so much in it's make up. Like wise if you leave the water for 24 hours and test the pH when the carbon dioxide has balanced it may reduce the pH.

A prudent fish keeper will always check the pH of water being added to an aquarium / pond with live fish in it

Will the filter soften my water, remove nitrate or phosphates?

No, the Spectrum PCB cartridges will not soften your water, nor will it remove nitrates and phosphates

Can I store the filtered water?

You can store water produced so long as it is in a container that is food grade plastic, or a glass tank etc. Always aerate stored water before use. Another way many people now use HMA is to remove a percentage of water from their aquarium, and drip new water directly back into it over the course of a couple of hours.


So, how will this filter improve my fish's health?

Chlorine, Chloramine and dissolved metals are poisonous to fish, and will kill the bacteria in a biological filter, so removing chlorine is essential. Heavy, and organically bound metals in our tap water could over a period of time attack the fishes central nervous system, causing it stress and any manor of related health issues.
By removing these as opposed to adding chemicals to the water that "neutralise" or "clump" the fish living in DD HMA prepared water look healthy, far less susceptible to stress, are active and will display their natural colouration fully.
