Waterco GAC-Plus: Ultimate Filter Media for Pond Water De-chlorination

"Waterco W400 filtration system with GAC-Plus as filter media is highly effective in water de-chlorination.
It is noticeably better than regular filters in terms of functionality, requires less maintenance due to its
long carbon lifespan, and has an easy backwashing procedure. Overall, our pond water quality has improved,
and our fish has become healthier after using the Waterco W400 filter with GAC-Plus."

As the leading Koi fish supplier in Malaysia, breeding and supplying healthy Koi fish to customers are always the top priority of Yamakoshi Nishikigoi Centre Sdn. Bhd. (“Yamakoshi”). Concerning this, one of the measures taken is to ensure proper dechlorination of the water supply to the Koi ponds, as chlorine is detrimental to Koi fish.

Chlorine in water – necessary for sanitation but harmful to fish


To ensure the water is safe for human consumption, chlorine is added to the public water supply to disinfect and eliminate harmful microorganisms. However, if chlorinated tap water is used as pond water for Koi fish or any fish for that matter, it will negatively affect the fish. Chlorine will cause inflammation in fish gills, and prolonged exposure to chlorine might cause disease, or even death, to the fish. Therefore, proper dechlorination becomes a necessity before using the water as Koi pond water.

Waterco W400 filter with GAC-Plus for complete de-chlorination


Before using the Waterco filtration system, Yamakoshi used regular filters to dechlorinate the incoming water supply for its ponds; the outcome, however, was less than satisfactory. The shortcomings of regular filters compelled Yamakoshi to seek better alternatives for water dechlorination, leading to the collaboration between Yamakoshi and Waterco.


To address Yamakoshi’s predicament, Waterco proposed the W400 filter with GAC-Plus (as filter media) as the solution, and two units of the filter were installed at Yamakoshi’s site. As anticipated, the newly installed filters managed to remove chlorine from the incoming water supply completely and consistently. Moreover, the filters also improved the water quality by eliminating organic and non-polar contaminants in the water.
