Three-stage filtration for balanced clarity

The RF-L cartridge features a three-stage filtration system. A double-sided dense mesh works with a 50% increase in activated carbon to capture particulates and organics as water passes through. Even cotton distribution prevents carbon powder leakage and helps maintain smooth water flow, contributing to a visually appealing tank and a calmer aquatic environment for residents.
