## Questions & Answers

**Q: are you suppose to rinse the cartridge before putting it into the filter?**
A: You are supposed to and I often do, either quick in the sink (chlorine in tapwater will nat harm it in any way in the slightes, except that 1/100 of the carbon might absorbe some chlorine, right, like it is supposed to do FOR WEEKS, not 30 secs.  Next, there were a few "carbon Powders" available, they probably make carbon in every size you can think of from dust to huge blocks.  So I sometimes don't rinse my pad if I am in a hurry (tank maintenance business) and think "carbon powder was good enough back then" and it didn't hurt anything (that I know of).

**Q: Whats the actual measurement of the filter? Size from top to bottom, from side to side, I know what power filters it fits, but I need the measurements**
A: The product dimensions are 6.5 x 6.8 inches, with each filter being less than 1" thick.

**Q: Twice in 2019 i bought 6-packs of the c cartridges on amazon for about $7 a pack. why has the price of tripled?**
A: "Amazon Sellers strive to offer competitive prices on all products they sell. They also need to make a profit so that they can continue to sell on Amazon. The price has likely increased due to increased costs of inventory, fees, and selling on Amazon."

**Q: Can you use these in Aqua-tech 30-60 filtration systems?**
A: I would think it would be to long for that filter. But i am notpositive about my answer. Probly 95% positive the answer would be no, i have a filter on a smaller tank that i think has this filter system you are talking about and when i compare the two it would stick up out of filter so lid would definatly not go on it. I hope this helps!
