FAQs

How do I regenerate Seachem Purigen?

Rinse the exhausted Purigen with tap water. Soak it in a 1:1 bleach to water solution for 24 hours. Rinse thoroughly, and then soak in a dechlorinator solution for 8 hours. Rinse again before returning to your filter.

How often should I regenerate Purigen?

Regeneration frequency depends on your aquarium's bioload. Monitor the color change. As Purigen exhausts, it will change color, indicating it's time for regeneration. Typically, this is every few weeks to months.

Is Seachem Purigen safe for my fish?

Yes, Purigen is safe for freshwater fish and invertebrates when used as directed.

Can I use Seachem Purigen with other filter media?

Yes, Purigen can be used in conjunction with other filter media such as activated carbon and biological media.

What is the shelf life of Seachem Purigen?

There is no expiration date, but store the product in a cool, dry place.

What is the model number for Seachem Purigen?

The model number is 020230.

Troubleshooting

Purigen is not changing color.

Ensure Purigen is in an area with sufficient water flow and that it is not blocked by other media. It may not be necessary to regenerate Purigen yet.

Water is still cloudy after using Purigen.

Check your filter for other sources of cloudiness (e.g., substrate, bacteria bloom). Consider using additional mechanical filtration.
