Hydra Internal Filter
Evening all,
Was having a chat with my LFS, and they are toying with stocking a new product - the Ocean Free Hydra Internal Filter. They are trialling it on one of their tanks with a fair amount of skepticism, as this thing has some pretty bold claims. It claims to generate hydroxyl radicals to oxidise all manner of waste products in the water, and replace all other filtration equipment to act as an "all-in-one" unit for salt water system.
Having a quick look over the packaging and manual, there is precious little explanation of how this thing works, except some magic catalytic material and the application of a small electric current. Can't help but scratch my head over this one, and was curious to see if anyone had heard of this unit here? Any evidence that it is effective? Any clue as to the chemistry behind the unit?
Hope everyone had a brilliant weekend!
Cheers,
Azza.
