koi filter
I'm using a PF 3000 and buy new bags of carbon/zeolite
every spring. I buy from my local pond shop instead of from Pond Filtration people. I would guess you will have the same options.

koi filter
I know nothing about this specific filter, so maybe I should stay in my
corner and keep my mouth shut. What I can offer, though, is this: I keep two bags of activated charcoal (maybe 8 lbs. total) in my waterfall box for the purpose of trapping mosquito spray or other contaminants that may DARE to enter my little domain. It needs to be changed out every 3 months or so. Further, every week when I do maintenance, I kinda scrunch the bags up to knock the biofilm off: activated charcoal (AC) can't absorb if the pores are clogged with biofilm. Now, the biofilm isn't "bad" - it's what converts the ammonia/nitrItes, but that's not what I have the AC for. But it can't do what I have AC for if it's clogged. Catch-22. So, that's it in a nutshell. Personally - for myself only - I'd be suspect of the filter. But again, I don't know anything about this particular one. I'd suggest talking to the manufacturer.
