Use Pristine at the initial dosage when starting a new aquarium or after a water change. For maintenance, dose weekly or as needed.

Can I overdose Seachem Pristine?

Yes, Seachem Pristine is safe for use in aquariums with invertebrates such as shrimp and snails.

How long does it take to see results?

What is the shelf life of Seachem Pristine?

Seachem Pristine has a shelf life of up to 4 years from the date of manufacture.

Do I need to do a water change after using Pristine?

A water change is not always necessary after using Pristine, but it's always a good idea to perform routine water changes for overall aquarium health.

Can I use Pristine with other Seachem products?

Yes, Pristine is generally compatible with other Seachem products. However, follow instructions on each product and introduce them separately.

Troubleshooting

Cloudy water after adding Pristine

This is common. The bacteria are establishing themselves. Perform a partial water change if it persists.

No noticeable improvement in water clarity

Ensure proper dosage and remove any antibiotics. Check for other underlying issues, such as overfeeding.

Algae growth continues

Pristine helps, but doesn't eliminate algae. Address lighting, nutrient levels, and consider other algae control methods.
