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 others by over 500%. Purigen® 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. Purigen® darkens progressively as it exhausts, and is easily renewed by treating with bleach. Purigen® is designed for both marine and freshwater use. | | | Features: | |

 100 ml comes in its own bag!Oct 11, 2011
By HSB
I wanted others to know in no uncertain terms that this amount of Purigen (100 ml), as stated above, comes in its own bag, a fact not made crystal clear in the Amazon description.
The other amount of Purigen 250 ml is just loose and requires the purchase of a bag.
Also from the description, I got the impression that Purigen would consist of larger spheres, but the product actually is countless tiny pieces of fine, almost powdery bits that must be contained in a bag with very small mesh (only an issue if you get the larger amount of 250 ml).
The product itself blows away the various carbon and resin products, which are the other alternatives. Like carbon, a tank with tannins clears right up with use of Purigen. It is certainly less messy to load in comparison with the grainy dust of charcoal smearing on countertops and sinks. In comparison to carbon, you also know when it is used up as it turns dark brown to black! Plus, it reduces the time required for filter maintenance, as you just glance at it in the filter to see the color rather than HAVING to change it every month or so as is the case with carbon and resin products that stop working at an indeterminate time.
I have not yet cleaned the stuff with bleach and then soaked it in Prime, and I don't plan on doing it. I think that--rather than risk fish and amphibian lives with bleach in case it doesn't work--I will simply repurchase more Purigen! In my mind, the price is not so prohibitive that I am willing to take the risk.

Wow. I didn't know a freshwater tank could look this clear.Jun 24, 2011
By P. Ranalli
I've been keeping aquariums, from planted to reef, for over 15 years but it wasn't until recently that I finally tried this product. I say this with all seriousness: every single aquarium that I keep from this day forward will use this product. Within 24 hours of putting this product into your filter you will see a major improvement in the clarity of your tank. This improvement is exemplified if you have something tanning the water like driftwood (which was my case). My tank went from healthy and slightly colored to healthy and crystal clear in 1 day, and it stays that way. The only downside I can think of is that it did "expire" relatively quickly (about a month) and I am on my first recharge. Recharging requires a 24 hour soak in bleach and an 8 hour soak in dechlorinator, so while it's an easy task, it's not quick.
One thing that was not clear to me based on the product description, and other reviews, is that this package comes in a fine mesh bag so you don't need to buy your own. It's really nice! Just open the box, rinse it out, and stick it somewhere that water will flow over it (in my case, I put it inside my Ehiem canister filter).

Amazing Water ClarityDec 11, 2011
By William C. Wilkins
"Gunther66"
The driftwood that I added to my 90 gallon aquarium changed the water color to "green tea" tint and that was after soaking the driftwood for 2 weeks prior to introducing it to my tank. I read several online aquarium forums and almost everyone stated that purigen would resolve the problem. So, I went on Amazon.com and purchase some "PURIGEN" for my Fluval FX5 canister (which is an awesome canister filter by the way) and after installing the 100ml purigen filter media bag, my tank was CRYSTAL CLEAR in less than 24 hours. This product is fantastic! I definitely recommend this product. 5 Stars!

Results are crystal clear!Feb 05, 2012
By Janefree
I have a ten gallon fish tank and use an AquaClear filtration system. My water was always cloudy and I had to change the carbon filter every other week. After only two weeks of switching to Purigen, the water is crystal clear. Just last night I removed all three of the filters to inspect and rinse the ones that needs it and could not believe that the Purigen was only a little darker. It amazes me how well it filters the water and removes impurities, but last beautifully. I will never use another carbon filter again. The colors on my tropical fish have never been more vivid.

good product.Jul 01, 2011
By libertybelle
was as advertized. come its own pouch so you don't have to worry about buying a bag for it. Lasts for way longer than traditional chemical filtration and can be regenerated over and over!
