![]() I hear the rocks are to be replaced every so often. Myself, I don't understand the concept of replacing the rocks if they have been well agitated often.
How often are you replacing them? I figure it is a just a method to keep the sales up. Could someone please educate me further on this. |

![]() I replace mine every 10 to 12 weeks.
It is my understanding that their usefulness deminishes as they become saturated with the Phosphate and Nitrates that they absorb. For alot more information go to: http://www.zeovit.com/ Tom R |

![]() Sure seems kind of wasteful to me though. But I imagine you can't really "recharge" them. I just have the hardest time throwing "rocks" into the garbage when you think about all the effort that went into producing them - the mining, the transport, etc. .. I guess in the grand scheme of things it's $15 per litre of rocks so it's not like it's a huge expense but still it just feels odd to me to throw them out. There's only so many times you can toss this stuff under your deck or in your garden..

![]() ![]() ![]() I have the same issue with sand. I just get hung up on what it took to get into my hands and then just dumping it under my deck seems like a ridiculous fate. But then maybe this is a ridiculous hobby anyhow, but still I press on, and maybe it's just ridiculous to feel bad about throwing it out. I dunno. It just feels weird to me to throw out rocks. They're rocks! ... Maybe I'm on my own on this one... ![]()

![]() The only place I throw my bannana peel is into my composter. Shame on anyone that throws organic waste into the landfill.

![]() How I understand the Zeolith to work is that it is like a carbon or phosphate remover. It get's exhausted over time.
I change my rocks ever 10 to 12 weeks but always leave a bit behind to help seed the bacteria colony J |
