| Q:
I lost the instructions describing how to regenerate CupriSorb™,
could you tell me how to do it?
A: When exhausted, CupriSorb™ may be discarded
or regenerated. Regenerate by soaking bag or beads 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 better done outside
and away from children. Soak for an hour, rinse well. Repeat
as required to restore the original color. Rinse well, add
backing soda (sodium bicarbonate) until foaming stops, and
rinse again. CupriSorb™ is now read for reuse.
If original color cannot be restored after several acid
washes, proceed with rinses and bicarbonate, then regenerate
as HyperSorb™ or Purigen™. Use
MultiTest: Copper™ to monitor copper.
Q: Will CupriSorb™ leach copper back into
the water when exhausted?
A: No. The copper is not released until you regenerate it.
Q:
I have 125 g tank, wet/dry filter, protein skimmer, uv light.
Where is the best place to put CupriSorb for my setup?
A: Most wet/dry filters have a drip plate on top of the
biological media where the water enters the filter. That
drip plate would be an ideal spot or anywhere that water
will pass through the CupriSorb.
Q:
How effective is your CupriSorb at also removing IRON and
CADMIUM and LEAD from water?
A: It can also remove cadmium and iron(II). It may also
remove lead, but we do not have any data on lead removal
so we cannot guarantee it.
Q:
Will CupriSorb effectively remove metals other than Cu?
I'm looking for a medium (preferably renewable) that will
remove or at least significantly reduce all metals in my
tap water.
A: it will also remove, nickel, zinc, cobalt, cadmium, manganese.
it may remove other heavy metals but we have no data for
any others.
