Use in conventional power filters, undergravel filters, and the chemical filtration compartment of canister filters. Simply cut to any size or shape to custom fit any aquarium filter. Rapidly improves water clarity and actively removes harmful organic and various inorganic waste buildup for several months. Changes color to indicate the pollutants being removed and when Poly Filter is exhausted. Will not leach pollutants upon saturation.

Aqua to Dark Blue: Copper or Copper Salts. Orange: Iron. Bright Red: Aluminum. Bright Yellow: Ammonia, Amines or Solvents. Dyes: Color of the solution when added i.e. Methylene Blue: Pale Blue. Malachite Green: Light Green. Tannins\/Humic acid: Dark Brown. Organic Wastes: Light Tan progressing to Dark Brown. Poly-Filter extends time between water changes. Add de-chlorinated water to make up for evaporation loss. If pH shifts below acceptable level, change water and add a new Poly-Filter. Heavy slime producing water conditioners can surface coat Poly-Filter and interfere with absorption performance. In Marine water, soak in 3% hydrogen peroxide then rinse well in fresh water. In Freshwater, soak in 10% salt water solution then rinse well in fresh water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Poly Filter will not soften water or remove trace minerals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Poly Filter is for filtering and purifying both fresh and saltwater aquariums. It is a formulation of a special patented material bonded to a synthetic matrix that can absorb and adsorb contaminants and other toxic materials. Poly Filter is nontoxic and harmless to biological filtration because it allows a sufficient amount of ammonia to reach the biological filter to sustain the bacteria culture. Provides a supplemental means of removing ammonia when the biological filter is unable to break down the excess ammonia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LiveAquaria","offers":[{"title":"Single - 4 x 8","offer_id":48509131161843,"sku":"157346","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"4 x 8 3pk Value Pack","offer_id":48509131194611,"sku":"21405","price":32.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Single - 12 x 12","offer_id":48509131227379,"sku":"157339","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"4 x 8 9pk Value Pack","offer_id":48509131260147,"sku":"101653","price":98.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"12 x 12 3pk Value Pack","offer_id":48509131292915,"sku":"101654","price":149.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/9497\/1635\/files\/lg_157346_FS52362PZ.jpg?v=1771033252","url":"https:\/\/www.liveaquaria.com\/products\/poly-filters","provider":"LiveAquaria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
