Purigen® is a premium synthetic adsorbent 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 other competing products by over 500%. It controls ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates by removing nitrogenous organic waste. Purigen’s impact on trace elements is minimal and raises redox. It polishes water to unparalleled clarity and darkens progressively as it exhausts, and is easily renewed by treating with bleach. Designed for both marine and freshwater use.
