Both Purgen and Carbon will remove coloring from water. The main difference tho is Purgen will/can last much longer, up to 6ish months depending on the amount of organics it pulls from the water, whereas carbon IMO losses it effectiveness within a couple weeks. You can tell when Purgen needs regenerating due to the beads changing to a dark brown color indicating it is full. Poly floss won't help remove the coloring in the water. Is it from tannins?
No, at least I don't think so. All wood has been until the water ran clear, then soaked in cold water for 24 hours to cool. Water ran clear again. As you know I have loads of plants, and I thought the correct cleaners - cats ottos snails - and just don't understand it. I just got the Purgen in the mail today. Just got to figure the dosage!! lol Math just isn't my thing anymore! lol Thanks Rivercats!!
