Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When should I use activated carbon in my pond?
A: Use activated carbon to remove discoloration, eliminate odors, polish water clarity, or remove medications after treatment. It's especially useful after using chemical treatments or when water has a yellow or brown tint.

Q: Does activated carbon remove beneficial bacteria?
A: No, activated carbon does not remove beneficial bacteria. However, it will remove some medications, so avoid using carbon during active disease treatments.
