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.

I use filter cartridge size M, how do you use this product or where do you put it?
Can I replace a filter cartridge with this?
- The primary purpose of Purigen is to serve as a water polisher—it will knock your nitrates down, and give you unbelievably clear water. It is best used as the final stage in any HOB or canister filter.

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.
- Purigen is very good at absorbing tannin from the wood. I have used it many times when I added new woods.
