Stage 3 replacement cartridge for HydroLogic ARCS (Advanced Reef Cultivation System) water filtration systems. This final-stage filter balances and stabilizes pH while adding essential minerals back into ultra-pure RO water—critical for hydroponics nutrient uptake and reef tank calcium/alkalinity stability.
Key Features
- pH Neutralization – Balances and stabilizes pH to optimal levels
- Remineralization – Adds beneficial minerals back into RO water
- 10,000 Gallon Capacity – Long-lasting performance before replacement
- Stage 3 Finishing – Final polishing step in ARCS multi-stage system
- Prevents pH Swings – Creates stable water chemistry for plants and corals
Why pH Neutralizing & Remineralization Matters
Pure RO water is highly acidic and lacks essential minerals, which can cause pH instability and nutrient lockout in hydroponics or alkalinity crashes in reef tanks. This Stage 3 cartridge restores balance by neutralizing acidity and reintroducing trace minerals, giving you stable, biologically-active water that supports healthy growth.
