 CupriSorb™
is a powerful adsorbent of copper and heavy metals.
CupriSorb™ will remove copper more rapidly
and efficiently than carbon and is thus ideal for emergency
copper removal. It extracts all types of copper from
water and, if in continuous use, from the gravel/substrate
bed as well. CupriSorb™ will allow maintenance
of invertebrates in copper-treated tanks by removing
copper leaching from substrates. This product is sold
by volume. Cited weight is minimal weight..
Sizes:
100 mL bagged, 250 mL, 500 mL, 1 L, 4 L, 20 L |
|
| DIRECTIONS:
Use 500 mL for every 1,200 L (300 gallons*) to
remove up to 15,000 mg (12 ppm) of copper. For best
results, CupriSorb™ should be placed so as to
maximize the flow of water through it. To remove undetectable
substrate leaching copper keep CupriSorb™ in use
for at least 2 weeks after copper tests report no copper.
Use in a canister filter, chemical filtration module,
box filter, or any high flow area of a trickle filter.
Exhaustion is indicated by a pronounced discoloration
of the beads to a deep blue black color. Use MultiTest:
Copper™ to monitor copper. When exhausted, CupriSorb™
may be discarded or regenerated. |

| REGENERATION:
Soak in a non-metal container with 2 cups of water
and 1⁄2 cup of muriatic acid (available
with pool supplies: PAY HEED TO WARNINGS on acid
container!). This is best done outside and away
from children. Soak for 1 hour, rinse well. Repeat
as required to restore the original color. Rinse
well, add sodium bicarbonate until foaming stops,
and rinse again. CupriSorb™ is now ready
for reuse. If original color cannot be restored
after several acid washes, proceed with rinses
and bicarbonate step, then regenerate as HyperSorb™
or Purigen™. |
