• Next-generation regenerable phosphate adsorption resin effective in marine aquaria; will also remove silicates.
• Far more effective than activated alumina and granular ferric products.
• Will not negatively impact water quality nor release phosphate or
silicate once exhausted; will not break up or disintegrate like ferric
medias, and contains no aluminum to dissolve in aquaria and harm
inhabitants.
• Synthetic polymer resin beads provide for durability and excellent flow characteristics; may be employed in fluiduzed-bed, canister, or passive filtration.
• Regenerable up to five times, dramatically increasing cost effectiveness.
Instructions and Guidelines Basic :
Prior to first use, rinse resin under a stream of purified water. For
initial application on aquarium, use 1 ml of PhosphâtR per 1 US-gallon
of water in system and monitor phosphate concentration during usage.
Subsequent application of resin may be at the rate of 2 ml per 1
US-gallon. Advanced: Prior to first use, rinse resin under a stream
of purified water. To a point, effectiveness of resin is directly
related to the reaction time it has with aquarium water; the longer the
reaction time, the more effectively it will remove phosphate and
silicate. Once phosphate concentration (”[PO43-]”) has not changed for
a period of 4 - 6 hours, remove and regenerate resin, then reapply if
necessary. In all cases, the use of a mechanical pre-filter to remove
particulate organic material from water prior to its interaction with
this media will prolong effectiveness. Fluidized-bed filtration
(recommended): follow instructions of filter manufacturer for optimal
volume of media to use in reaction chamber; start at a low flow rate
and adjust to keep media in a steady “boil” within lower 2/3 of
chamber; flow rate should not be such that resin is ejected into
aquarium. Canister filtration: Load resin into filter cartridge as
directed by filter manufacturer; leave resin in place until [PO43-]
reaches desired level or remains unchanged, as directed above. Slowing
the flow of water through the filter may be required to obtain maximum
effectiveness of resin. Passive filtration: Place resin loosely in a
150µm mesh filter bag and locate in an area of low- to medium-flow.
Turning bag over once during usage will serve to shift the resin beads
and increases effectivness of this method. Regenerate PhosphâtR with Brightwell Aquatics RegenerâtPHOR
Caution: Keep out of reach of children. Not for human consumption.
Note: Resin sold moist. Keep closed to
prevent drying. Weight varies due to moisture content, therefore
product is sold by volume rather than weight. |
