Review on 🌊 Enhanced Biostone Aquarius Filtration System Compatible with Jupiter by Randy Holt

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Leaking heavily on JP-102 (solution update)

Bought this filter for a Jupiter JP-102 and although the water tastes good the bottom fitting doesn't leak well. Put the old Alka Viva filter back in place and there will be no more leaks. I've reinstalled the new filter a few times but it still leaks and the old filter is tight. Turns out the hole at the bottom of this filter is slightly larger than spec, this is enough for a leak. Too bad, otherwise there would be a lot going on. Update 7/30/2017: I was planning to return the filter, but on a whim I installed a slightly thicker o-ring at the junction at the bottom of the filter (only 0.5mm thicker) and now it's leak free! Of course, the Alka Viva filter no longer fits, but I can easily fall back on a thinner o-ring if I decide to spend the big bucks on the Alka Viva. So I added another star to the rating. However, this product has been described as compatible and should in fact fit a stock Jupiter JP-102 without changing the o-rings. For a Jackson and a half I can't complain too much though and might even buy again if this one holds up well.

Pros
  • Water filter and softener
Cons
  • No instructions
