Seachem Purigen 100ml

Purigen® is a premium synthetic absorbent that is unlike any other filtration product. It is not a mixture of ion exchangers or adsorbents, but a unique macro-porous synthetic polymer that removes soluble and insoluble impurities from water at a rate and capacity that exceeds all others by over 500%.

Purigen® controls ammonia, nitrites and nitrates by removing nitrogenous organic waste that would otherwise release these harmful compounds. Purigen’s™ impact on trace elements is minimal. It significantly raises redox. It polishes water to unparalleled clarity.

This product from Seachem helps to improve water clarity and remove impurities in your aquarium. Purigen is a highly-porous synthetic filter media that quickly and efficiently removes organic waste, colour, odour and other impurities, restoring water clarity. Unlike other filter media, Purigen is easily replenishable and can be used for extended periods of time. Add this product to your filter for improved water quality and clarity.

Rinse before use. Use in a fine mesh (180 micron or less) filter bag such as Seachem’s The Bag. For best results, Purigen should be placed so as to maximize the flow of water through it. It may be used in a canister filter, media chamber, box filter, or any high flow area of a trickle filter. Each 250 mL treats up to 1,000 L (250 US gallons) for up to six months.

Exhaustion is indicated by a pronounced discoloration of the beads to dark brown or black. Regeneration Soak in a 1:1 bleach: water solution for 24 hours in a non-metallic container in a well ventilated area and away from children. Use regular 8.25% hypochlorite household bleach (non-scented, no dyes, do not use a splash-less bleach). Rinse well,  do not reuse if odour of bleach/chlorine is detectable. In case of doubt, soak beads in small quantity of water and test for residual chlorine with a chlorine test kit.

Caution: some slime coat products may permanently foul Purigen and render regeneration difficult.
