When the carbon is exhausted simply replace the cartridge set and you have in effect a brand new filter again. The quality and useful life of the Spectrum cartridges offer exceptional value for money and the very best water quality for your fish.
Carbon block filters absorb and remove contaminants, chemical based additives bind and neutralise we believe removal is the best option and have used DD HMA filters ourselves since the early 1990s.
