Contributes to a stronger pearling effect
Easy to regeneratefor crystal-clear water against stained water
Purge XPro® 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%. Purge XPro® 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. Purge XPro® darkens progressively as it exhausts, and is easily renewed by treating with bleach. Purge XPro® is designed for both marine and freshwater use.
Purge XPro® is the highest capacity organic filtration resin on the market. No other products can compare to its ability to clear haziness and polish water to unparalleled clarity. Unlike other products on the market which are simple ion-exchange resins, Purge XPro® is specifically designed to be an organic scavenging resin. When ion-exchange resins are filled to capacity by metals and other contaminants, Purge XPro® has barely begun to reach its potential. Purge XPro® generally ignores simple elemental compounds, having an extreme affinity for nitrogenous organics. The primary source of nitrogenous compounds in an aquarium is waste. Fish, corals, even plants produce nitrogenous waste. Purge XPro® removes that waste faster and more completely than anything else on the market.
Capacity: Purge XPro® possesses enhanced capacity owing to its vast surface area. All other resins on the market are purely spherical extruded beads. These beads remain smooth even under a microscope. Purge XPro® is both spherical and macroreticular. It has microscopic pores that increase its usable surface area to many times that of a purely spherical resin.
Regeneration: Purge XPro® can also be regenerated. As it adsorbs waste products, Purge XPro® will change color from a pale blonde to a dark brown, almost black. Once it is exhausted, it can be regenerated with a solution of bleach and water. The bleach will literally “burn off” the organics that have been removed from the tank. Watch out for products that claim to be regenerable with a brine solution. That is the regeneration procedure for ion-exchange purposes. A brine solution will not remove organics. While such resins have a limited capacity for organic adsorption, a brine regeneration process only replaces removed ionic compounds. It does not destroy large organic molecules that were removed, which is the primary function of organic adsorption resins.
Directions
Rinse before use. Use in a fine mesh (180 micron or less) filter bag such as Seachem’s Golden Pearls Bag. 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.
- Regenerate the bag with Purge XPro® every 2-3 months, in a plastic container with 5% bleach
- Use bleach in a volume twice the volume of the filtering medium (for example 500 ml bleach 5% for 250 ml Purge XPro®)
- Leave the bag in this solution for an hour and stir every 10 minutes
- After regeneration, rinse well with water and keep the bag for 24 hours in a container with water and 50 ml of Priority dechlorination solution
- Repeat dechlorination if it still smells like bleach. Reuse it only after the bleach smell disappears completely
- Store the product in a moist state in an airtight container, away from children and pets
- For aquarium use only
Sizes: 250 mL, 500 mL, 1 L,
