Purigen, life expectancy

[Ridgeway]

Anyone know how many times you can regenerate Purigen ?

I use the usual bleach and Prime method.

Hey,

I’ve never seen a statement on when it becomes exhausted other than if it stays brown even after regenerating. From what I understand it uses polymers to bind certain elements. The bleaching release/cleans or regenerates the beads for reuse.

That said, personals I’d pitch it after 2 or 3 times.

Wow, would be the Worlds most expensive media if it had to thrown away after 3 uses. I'll check with Seachem but so far i'd guess i've regenerated mine at least 15 x
