They are not safe! I tested 3 of them in 5gal bucked with RO water. In 48h TDS went from 2 to 165ppm. mayphly and oem 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pucksr Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Question, most of the ones I have seen are just painted Terra Cotta. Are your tubes orange on the inside?Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plamski Posted April 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 they are very dark gray inside too. The old style, orange one are completely safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pucksr Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 This makes a lot of sense. Some quick googling reveals that this is probably an earthenware that was pre-mixed with a black dye. That would introduce a lot of impurities, some of which may be leaching into your water column. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
