Can I use it with Seachem Purigen 100ml? do I need to remove the purigen from the filter when using it?

How do you judge effectiveness of a filter? I have a very healthy 55 gallon saltwater set up but this filter is only a part of my filtration. I wish they offered a larger one. I am certain this contributes to the success of my aquarium. The filter cartridge comes apart so you can change the filter media without constantly buying new cartridges. I don't have an issue with mineral build up, I'm sure if you have any kind of a serious build up it would impact the effectiveness, how could it not?

Yes, this bottle need to be used with the filters. There are round groves that the filters fit into. Hope this helps.

I've been using PUR filters for a long time. I don't have any problem with it. After installation, please don't forget to let the water run for the recommended time.May be you have a different issue. Sorry, I don't have a definite answer for youGood luckN.T

Yeah it does come with the Seachem Purigen in a the bag so you can just rinse it under tap water and place it straight into your filter. I recently bought myself another bag of Seachem Purigen and Seachem has updated their packaging which I found very cool. If you're looking for the Seachem Purigen to come ready to go then this is the right size for you (100ml) go ahead and purchase it. If you ever buy the bigger size Seachem Purigen it will come lose in a bottle and then you have to buy something to keep it in. You can always make your own media bags out of women's panty hose or something that can keep the Purigen trapped while still allowing water to pass through.

I have used mine in a therapure filter based on my experience it should be okay to try it. Make sure the builb is not touching any part of the unit. Keep an eye on it for the first 24 hours.

how many gallons does this 100ml bag of Purigen treat? I need it for a 10 gallon tank so need to know how much to put in it. Thank you.

We've never tried without filter, but it should work just fine without it. Hope this helps.

I have never had to do that, I put seachem carbon into this and then use white filter floss or filter pads in this cartridge, seal it close and then rinse under water. I've never had any carbon leak out. I suppose it all depends what size carbon you use. Marineland and API can be small and possibly come out, but I've never has a problem with Seachem's Carbon

Yes it can if the distillation unit is stainless steel. Use at recommended rate. Usually a tablespoon per gallon of water is sufficient. Rinse everything very thoroughly afterwards. Typically a triple rinse will statistically remove all residue left over. Remove and discard carbon filter on output side if you have one after descaling. We use this in our laboratory distillation unit and it works very well.

From what I understand you can use either filter in the unit. I love mine. I'm using the one that came with it currently, but then bought the better filter in a six pack at Costco.

Hi Nick, I have the PF-2 filter and I also use a BB9-2 Black Purification filter along with it. I use two of each, but I understand you could use four of each at one time (the Pf-2 and the BB9-2 connect with each other. Good luck with your system. LD

To the best of my knowledge it has to be used with distilled water only. You have to start out with zero particulates in your water when you begin to "brew" your batch of colloidal silver. Make sure you have a good ppm gauge/meter. I always check mine when I start and it always measures .000 ppm

Hi Mary, personally I am on city water and use my filter for final polishing and not primary filtering. I would suggest you have your well water analyzed then contact Aquasana's technical support and forward them your lab results and let them tell you if their filter system is capable of purifying your water to potable standards. Please be absolutely aware of chemical toxins and biological pathogens that your lab will be able to identify. On a final note depending on you geographical location, we need to also be concerned about radiological contamination. To some extent there is a filter that is capable of addressing that problem too. If need be, ask me about it and I will look it up for you. Hope this response is of some use.

I have a water filter that uses a reverse - osmosis filtering system. To the best of my knowledge it is a precess which removes absolutely everything out of the water except the water itself. It is purified, free of all chemicals, bacteria, viruses and any other kind of contamination that can be found in water. I use it because I have it conveniently located under my sink. I guess if that were not the case I would have to buy it in bottles. I love my mop and I would consider it worth the trouble to keep it running smoothly.

Have you checked your phosphate? I add Phosguard to my filter, too. I agree with the previous answers. I use API's bio-stars for a bacterial collector and I use Drs. Foster and Smith white filter mat that you can cut to your specifications for a mechanical filter.Of course, I use Chemi Pure BLUE in my saltwater tank
