EcoCarb media is produced from byproducts of other manufacturing processes, so there’s no traditional mining and minimal processing involved, which provides a lower overall carbon footprint. EcoCarb is friendly to the environment and offers equivalent performance, eliminating contaminants from drinking water. Each EcoCarb Media can be selected for the specific removal of contaminates based on water quality goals.

EcoCarb 1240BA is produced from bituminous coal sourced from remediated coal refuse sites; EcoCarb 1230C and 1240C are produced from a renewable source, coconut shells, which remove CO2 from the atmosphere during the growing stage; while EcoCarb 1240LDX and 830LDX are a low-density sub-bituminous coal byproduct extracted during the manufacturing process of a pigment.

“At AqueoUS Vets, we are meeting today’s water challenges and treating tomorrow’s emerging concerns,” said Dr Mirka Wilderer, president and CEO of AqueoUS Vets. “We are proud to provide a domestically produced bituminous carbon that is environmentally friendly and has lived up to the gold standard in side-by-side comparisons with the competition.”
