This set is intended for owners of JBL CristalProfi e filters who want to reduce nitrite, nitrate and phosphate in their aquarium water. It replaces the standard media in the filter basket and is installed in the same place, so no modification of the filter is needed.
Why it matters
- Each pad has an outer foam layer through which the main water stream passes, and a central mesh holding special filter material that takes up the same nitrogen and phosphorus compounds.
- The water flow through the central mesh is slower and smaller than through the outer foam, which gives the filter material more contact time with the water.
- Nitrite (NO2) is toxic to fish and can cause death from 0.4 mg/l. Nitrate (NO3) and phosphate (PO4) are non-toxic, but they feed algae growth (except diatoms) from 20 mg/l and 0.3 mg/l respectively.
- Water tests show when the set should be replaced, so the change can be based on measured values rather than a fixed schedule.

Frequently asked questions
The special filter material in the mesh binds nitrites, nitrates and phosphates and removes them from the water. Nitrites are toxic to fish and can cause death from about 0.4 mg/l.
The set includes one unit with an absorber for nitrites, nitrates and phosphates, plus two foam pads stacked one above the other. Each pad has a round recess that holds the filter mesh.
The set is made for the round foam pads of JBL CristalProfi e filter baskets. Check that your filter basket uses this round pad design before ordering.
You can check this with water tests, which show when the set should be replaced with a new one. Test for nitrites, nitrates and phosphates to decide the timing.
The main water flow passes through the outer foam layer, while a slower, smaller stream flows through the filter mesh in the centre. Nitrates are non-toxic but from about 20 mg/l they support the growth of most algae types, except diatoms.
