Can You Clean Aquarium Filters In Tap Water?

#aquarium #nature #science

Tap water. Aquarium Filters. What's true and what's false? Let Bob Moss sort through the mess and tell you the no nonsense answer to this often asked question.

There is a myth on social media that you need to clean filters in tank water to prevent the chlorine in tap water from removing and killing all the beneficial bacteria. Well, the idea that cleaning a filter in chlorinated water destroys the beneficial bacteria was tested. The test proved beyond any doubt that chlorine levels even two to four times what is found in tap water have no effect on the beneficial bacteria.

From Swiss Tropicals, the supplier of Poret Foam:

“It does not matter if you use cold or chlorine-treated water! The often repeated notion that this process would kill all the filter organisms is nonsense, because the residual chlorine concentration in drinking water is too low to kill them all. The microorganisms are quite well-protected in the slime of the biofilm.”
