DIRECTIONS: Use one bag for each 400 L (100 gallons). Rinse before use. Exhaustion is indicated by a pronounced discoloration of the beads from yellow to deep brown. 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, chemical filtration module, box filter, or any high flow area of a trickle filter.

IT WORKS

I LOVE THIS STUFF!! If you are stuck and don't know what to buy after getting driftwood or putting a cloudy substrate in, this is the stuff you need. It takes all tannins out of the water and helps keep it clear. I have used it twice for two different projects in a current tank and it works great. Just look at the difference it makes in a day in my photos.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I've had my tank for over a year and always dealt with colored water. The wood was constantly leaching color even though it was prepped for the tank and even when water was refreshed it would still be discolored a few days after. I added this into our filter system and even within that night the water was noticeably better. I'm at three days in and the water is still crystal clear like the tank was just put together. Super impressed with how well this worked for something I was trying to get figured out for a long time

Yes, I recommend this product.

Worked like a magic

My tank water looked so dark after I placed wood into it. I thought spoiling the wood for many hours would help with water discoloration but I was wrong, even active carbon could not help. After doing research and I found this seachem product. Wow.. I washed it for a couple times with tap water then placed it inside my filter. When I woke up in the morning, I was totally surprised. Picture attached is when I took it the next day.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Do I need to use any other chemical filtration product in addition to Purigen, such as Chem-pure?

  1. Not sure what application either being used for. Salt or fresh.



does it remove nitrites?

  1. Yes, it does a great job in removing Nitrites. As the label reads: Controls ammonia, nitrites and nitrates

    I have a 3.5 gallon tank I’m trying to set up with mopani wood I purchased at petco, I want to know if this product could clear out my water if I was to purchase this item and place the piece of mopani wood in. I’ve boiled it around 6-7 times already.
