Introduction to Chemi-pure

Chemi-pure is the original formula for over 50 years with millions of satisfied customers. It was invented by Dick Boyd in the 1960s. This proprietary blend combines high-grade granular activated carbon with advanced ion exchange resins, offering superior filtration for your freshwater, reef, or marine aquarium.

High-grade granular activated carbon for superior filtration
Advanced ion exchange resins for removing toxins and impurities
Ideal pore size for absorbing nitrogenous wastes and dissolved organics
Suitable for freshwater, reef, or marine aquariums

Pros

The benefits of using Chemi-pure include:

Removes odors and color-causing dissolved organic molecules
Eliminates toxins, medications, phenols, and dissolved metals
Keeps your aquarium healthy, stable, and crystal clear
Easy to use: simply rinse lightly under running water and place the nylon bag in any external power filter, canister filter, or filter sump

Cons

While Chemi-pure is a highly effective filter media, there are some considerations to keep in mind:

If more than one Chemi-pure filter bag is used, it’s recommended to change one at a time every week until all bags have been replaced, which can be inconvenient
