I have manged to buy a second hand big blue dechlorinator.
Dechlorinator Units
Does anyone know how to replace the carbon in the blue cylinder ?
There are two long tubes and I'm not sure if the carbon needs to be inside or outside the tube.
Thanks

Thanks Andy
The larger tube is the same size as the hole at the top of the cylinder. I cant see how you can fill it on the out side.
its probably very simple once you know how.
