The pillow works well in my 100L aquarium. I’ve used it for two weeks and noticed less mineral buildup in the water. Easy to install and recharging is straightforward. I keep it in solution when not in use.

Good for reducing calcium and iron levels. After 48 hours, I recharged it as instructed and it performed well again. A simple solution for maintaining soft water.

I’ve used this for several cycles now. The filter flow is smoother and my fish seem more active. The instructions are clear and the product is reliable.
