Description
Purigen is a top-quality synthetic absorbent, significantly superior to other similar products available on the market. It is not just a mixture of ion exchangers and absorbing substances, but a unique macroporous synthetic polymer that captures both soluble and insoluble impurities from water. Its performance and speed surpass similar products by 500%. By removing organic impurities, it effectively eliminates ammonia, nitrates, and nitrites from the tank, while preserving valuable trace elements in the water. It significantly increases the reduction-oxidation potential of the water and makes it crystal clear. Purigen pellets darken as they are used up, but the product can be regenerated using household bleach. It is intended for use in both marine and freshwater aquariums.
Selectivity of action:
Purigen is an organic filtration resin with the highest efficiency available on the market. No other product can clean water as effectively. Unlike other products containing only ion exchangers, Purigen is also designed to eliminate organic pollutants. While ordinary resins are already completely saturated with metals and other impurities, Purigen is just beginning to show its potential. It barely absorbs simple molecules, mainly capturing large molecular compounds containing nitrogen, which in aquariums primarily come from fish and invertebrate feces and the decomposition of plant shoots.
Efficiency:
Thanks to the large surface area of its granules, Purigen is exceptionally efficient and has a high capacity for accumulating impurities. All resins available on the market are in the form of smooth-surfaced beads, which can be seen under a microscope. The spherical granules of Purigen are highly porous, significantly increasing the contact surface with water.
Regeneration:
Purigen is easy to regenerate. During use, it changes color from light to dark brown to almost black. In this form, it can be regenerated by rinsing in a water solution of bleach. The chemicals contained in it "burn out" the pollutants accumulated in the Purigen granules. Products suitable for regeneration in a salt solution contain only ion exchangers. Moreover, this method will not wash out organic pollutants, which gradually accumulate in the resin.
Usage:
Rinse before use. Transfer the resin to a fine mesh filtration bag. One liter of Purigen is enough to clean approximately 4,000 liters of water for six months. The product's usage is indicated by a change in color to dark brown or almost black.
