How does an Aquarium Hobbyist regenerate
Poly-Filter® for reuse in an aquarium?
Poly-Filter® is not an ion-exchange resin, therefore it does not exchange ions or anything else back into freshwater, saline, natural or synthetic seawater aquaria. Due to the complex nature of the metabolic waste products sorbed into poly-Filter® ----- there is no safe method of cleaning a Poly-Filter®. You may rinse Poly-Filter® in Distilled Water (USP Grade) to help remove organic particulate matter. Never rinse Poly-Filter® with bleach or chlorinated water - chlorine reacts with sorbed organic matter producing toxic volatile organic chemicals.
