Pozzani No10 Aquarium Nitrate Reduction Filter System
In stock
Nitrates are present in most tap water to some degree, mainly derived from pesticides and decaying organic matter. Nitrates, which are toxic to fish, are broken down in tropical aquariums by bacteria, which then convert them into harmless compounds.
Levels in excess of 20ppm (parts-per-million) may cause harm to your fish, and tap water can contain upto 50ppm. Therefore, in order to minimise the stress caused to the fish, many people choose to remove nitrates prior to filling or topping up their tanks. This also helps the bacteria break down the nitrates present in your tank's filter and gravel bed as the level that they have to deal with remains manageable.
Prior to purchasing this system it is recommended that you check the level of nitrates in your mains supplied water. This system is designed for people who have high nitrate levels in excess of 20ppm.
This filter is intended for tank filling only. It is not intended to be used as a circulating filter.
The replacement cartridges for this system are the NR600 cartridges which can also be found on our website
This filter system is supplied with hozelock compatible fittings, but you can select the fitting kit option which is for mains pipe work. The fitting kit will provide you with a saddle valve to pierce the copper pipe and a 10m length of tube to attach the output.
Important Note: The life of the filter is proportional to the loading of Nitrate (NO3) and Sulphate (SO4) in the source water and the volume of water used. The more Nitrate and Sulphate in the source water and the more water you use, the faster the filter will exhaust. If you require advice prior to purchasing please contact us.

. Took about a week of partial water changes to get to a trace nitrate level and the fish are much happier for it. Couldn't be happier :-)

. Our tap water contains in excess of 40ppm of nitrate. Water passed through this filter resulted in 0 nitrates! Amazing. I now no longer have to worry about my fish being subjected to poisonous high levels of nitrate. I can't comment on how long the filter cartridge lasts, but in my eyes, it's worth every penny. Thanks pozzani. One very happy customer.
. Be aware that the filter does lower the PH of your tap water by about 1 (this is also a good thing for me, as the PH is quite high straight from the tap) So I wouldn't recommend doing a large water change straight away, do it gradually, over a week or so, as not to shock your fish with a sudden change of PH.
. If you have high nitrate problem......what are you waiting for!?! Buy one, now!
