  • Absorbs Ammonia, Nitrite & Nitrate
  • Removes Tannins From Water
  • Improves Water Clarity

Purigen is a filter media designed to absorb organic waste such as ammonia, nitrites and nitrates at an incredible rate. When in use, it makes for a crystal clear water column. It is extremely helpful if being used to remove tannins as well. It is not known to remove aquatic fertilizers. Over time, Purigen will darken from white to brown so you can visually tell when it has been exhausted. Many hobbyists won't run a tank without it.

Amazing product!

Wow! Purigen is amazing. I put a branch of manzanita in my tank. Before I did I boiled it then soaked it for five days. In between days I dumped tinted water out and filled the container with fresh water. I put the branch into my aquarium thinking it was fine, no more tint. Wrong. Two day later I woke up to tint in my tank. I had charcoal in the filter but it wasn’t doing the job, then I remembered I had a package of Purigen. Took out the charcoal popped in the pack of Purigen and within 1 hour my tank was almost clear. Within a couple of hours it was clear! I’ll never be without this product. And Bonus…didn’t effect the PH levels.

Got Tannin? Use this.

Add a pouch of this to your filter and tannin is absorbed away. You can even clean it and reuse. I just change it every month.

Purigen

This product was a game changers, was struggling on keeping 20 GAL community tank clear between weekly water changes due to feeding fan shrimp powered food. This made a huge difference

New to purigen

Just tried purigen for the first time. It definitely lives up to reputation. I put it in the hob filter on my 20l tetra tank and within an hour I could see the difference. I love that you can easily recharge it saving me money.

Purigen is a great way to keep your water clean!

Purigen is very different from carbon. It’s a synthetic polymer that effectively removes many types of impurities both from plants and fish.
It’s a great way to have clean water and it’s quite safe. I suggest it to have healthy fish and plants.
Purigen is a great value for the money.
This is the way to have crystal-clear water!

Purigen does the job!

These pre-dosed packs help keep water clear by removing impurities and work in a HOB filter with room nicely for easy changeout.

Magic in a little bag

I had a shrimp tank so filled with tannis from some new driftwood that I couldn't even see inside. I tucked a bag of purigen in beside my sponge filter and by the evening I could see through the water for the first time in days. Two days later my water was once again sparkling clear. I couldn't be happier with the outcome
