Iron compound, free from harmful substances Phosphate remover inhibits growth of algae EHEIM phosphateout binds the phosphate and removes it from the water circulation. Phosphates mainly occur due to organic pollutants in the aquarium water (fish remains, fish faeces etc.) and are responsible for the growth of algae. EHEIM TORFpellets lower the pH-value and reduce the water hardness. However, most ornamental fish require acidic water – that is a pH-value under 7,0. The pH-value of mains water lies between 7,3 and 7,8 and is therefore slightly alkaline. It is free from harmful substances and suitable for fresh and marine water.ĭepending on which type, chemical filter media control the pH-value and the water hardness (peat) – or reduce the phosphate level and inhibit the growth of algae (phosphateout). If the phosphate levels and consequently the growth of algae starts to increase, this means that the filter medium is depleted and must be replaced.ĮHEIM phosphateout is available for external filters in granulate form and for internal filters as a foam filter cartridge. In this way algae growth in the aquarium is inhibited. The iron binds the phosphate, removing it from the water circulation and thus reducing in stages the phosphate levels in the aquarium. Chemically acting phosphate remover inhibiting the growth of algaeĮHEIM phosphateout is a special iron compound for chemical filtration.
