Description
Seachem Purigen 1L — Bulk synthetic polymer resin bottle for superior organic waste filtration in large display aquariums & commercial fish facilities
Seachem Purigen 1L (SKU: 724965-167) is a large-format bottle pack of synthetic adsorbent resin designed for high-volume filtration systems, large display aquariums, and commercial fish facilities. Utilising a proprietary spherical resin matrix, it scavenges nitrogenous organic compounds, tannins, and dissolved organics, preventing pollutant accumulation and water discolouration.
Purigen’s selectivity allows it to bind organic waste without absorbing crucial trace elements, buffering salts, or plant nutrients. The resin beads change colour as they saturate, providing clear visual feedback. Once saturated, the media can be regenerated repeatedly via a simple bleach soak, delivering long-term value for large aquatic setups.
