AquaChar is the world’s first Forged Carbon water filter, engineered to transform your tank into a thriving, crystal-clear ecosystem. It filters selectively—removing harmful toxins and bacteria while preserving beneficial microbes that keep your water balanced and alive.

Most activated carbon filters are short-lived and wipe out both good and bad bacteria. AquaChar uses Forged Carbon, a proprietary, multi-stage process that creates a hyper-porous matrix and lasts for months. It supports beneficial bacteria, stabilizes pH, and delivers clearer water—naturally.

Lifespan: Months vs Weeks

Bacteria Safe: Yes vs No

Filtering: Selective vs Broad

pH Effect: Stabilizes vs Can Destabilize

Surface: Hyper-porous vs Smooth

Technology: Proprietary Forging vs Basic Heat Treatment

B.A.M.S.™ stands for Biologically Active Microsites. This technology creates electrostatically charged zones within AquaChar that feed and activate beneficial microbes, turning your filter into a biological regeneration zone—not just a passive sponge.

The 1-cup (250ml) size is perfect for aquariums up to 40 gallons, and can also be used in ponds, hydroponics, and aquaponics systems. Safe for all species.

Each dose of AquaChar lasts 3 to 6 months, depending on your water conditions. Unlike cartridges, it doesn’t expire all at once—and there's no guesswork. You'll often notice the water begins to cloud slightly when it's time to replace.

1. Rinse gently before use.
2. Place in a mesh bag in a high-flow zone of your tank or system.
3. Leave for up to 3 to 6 months.
4. When replacing, leave the old AquaChar in with the new for 1 month to allow bacteria to acclimate.
5. After use, repurpose in your garden or compost—it’s 100% safe and beneficial for soil.

• Visibly clearer water in just a few days
• Stable pH and reduced chemical stress
• Healthier, happier fish and plants
• Longer-lasting balance with less maintenance

Don’t just take our word for it—AquaChar has been tested and verified by independent labs and universities. Explore the research here:
