Boyd Chemi-Pure 5oz Information



Are you having some trouble with the maintenance of your aquarium’s cleanliness? Do you want to provide your fish with a healthy home without purchasing and installing several, small devices? If this is so, then you will do well by just using the Boyd Chemi-Pure Pet Store. This is a convenient, filtration media, which will guarantee your marine inhabitants an unpolluted environment without having to deal with monthly, maintenance periods. In fact, you will only need to re-apply this twice a year. You can purchase this in a five-ounce container, which is good for one to two applications.

This product is essentially a form of filtration media, which you can insert inside a porous fabric, as well as your protein skimmer, to filter through the water effectively. It comes quite useful when it comes to chemical applications. In spite of its inability to dissolve the residues of elements that could be contributing to the pollution of the liquid, it is still capable of balancing the pH level of the water, making sure that the environment is not too acidic or alkalic, causing some undeserved stress. It can also remove excess phosphates and nitrates to an extent, saving just enough for the benefit of your plants and other invertebrates.

Your aquarium will definitely be cleaner and clearer when you regularly use the Boyd Chemi-Pure, regardless if you use it as is, or place it inside a machine’s vault.

Chemi-pure can be used with all water types as a chemical absorption filter and ion generator and exchange unit to positively keep pH at a perfect constant level. Also fantastic for use with African Cichlids and Discus! Needs replacement only every six months under normal circumstances. Use 1 unit up to 40 gallons, 2 units from 40 to 100 gallons, above 100 gallons add one unit for every 25 gals. 10oz.

Soft corals - Crustose Coralline Algaes - Caulerpas - Gorgonias - Seafans - other invertebrates and fish of all species thrive and grow luxuriously with no water change necessary using real seawater or the better imported mixes. This is not a claim, but fact, experienced by thousands of CHEMI-PURE users. In fact, salt water fish have spawned repeatedly in 5 year old water. CHEMI-PURE does not remove trace elements and is the only filter medium which aids in the natural balance of positive and negative charges, with an emphasis on the beneficial negative ion. CHEMI-PURE comes packed in pure polyester filter bags in sealed plastic bottles, called 1 unit, one of which is recommended for up to 40 gallons of water, and which is completely active for 4-6 months with no `regeneration` or cleaning required and is cheaper than carbon or pads. The one filtration product we unreservedly recommend for use with CHEMI-PURE is the Poly-Filter, by Poly-Bio Marine! Use one pad above and one below the CHEMI-PURE bag. We also recommend the use of foam fractionation or "protein skimmers."

Comments: I'm not sure just how the ion exchange works with this unit but it does exactly what it says it will do! I've been using it for almost 3 years now and my nitrates are 0! I have a dozen fish in a 180 and have not done a water change in a year and that was only after a 5 day power outage. Thanks Chemi-Pure! You save me hours and hours of work.

"The standard" - Product Review by Frank Phillips (Posted on 7/21/11)
Rating
Excellent!

Comments: I've been keeping marine fish for well over 30 years and the first thing I used when switching from an undergravel filter to a power filter was Chemi-pure. It worked miracles with water clarity and chemistry then and it still delivers. I wont debate the claim of "no water changes" as any aquarium keeper would be crazy to not do regular water changes, simply for the sake of their livestock. The only issue I have is the inability to remove it from the bag. However, I experimented and cut my bags so I could pour this stuff into the filter canister on a HOT Magnum. Time will tell if there is a loss in product efficiency. My recommendation is: Buy this stuff - it beats activated carbon media sold by most filter manufacturers and beats it hands-down.

Excellent!

Comments: This product is worth every penny... just be careful to not buy the big one if you don't have a 175 - 200 gallon tank as the product is all in one bag not two like i assumed. Either way like most coral enthusiasts i dealt with the problem and it's rocking!

Comments: I have used Boyd's chemi pure for over ten years now. I use Boyd's in my fresh, and salt water aquariums. I purchased the 40 oz size to try out in my pond, looking great so far. I love the crystal clear water I get with Boyd's.

"Don't waste your money" - Product Review by Janet Spangler (Posted on 3/29/10)

Unsatisfactory

Comments: I had been using Bio-Chem Zorb and heard about Chem Pure so I tried it since it was cheaper and told it last longer. Had put it in the filter and 2 week I had cloudy water and started a fungus on my Orande goldfish by the second week my water readings were off for the first time and I was very angry took it out and sent the product back and I went back to a great product which took 1 day to clear up the water not the fungus which took something else. Save yourself spend the extra dollars get a GREAT product Bio-Chem Zorb. By the way I have a 50 gal tank with 3 Oranda and 2 fancy goldfish and have had them for quite awhile. I use a Rena X3 filter for them.

Excellent!

Comments: I run this on my 30 gallon freshwater planted tank . 10oz chemi pure is placed in my marineland filter.
<br />
<br />Its great . Keeps water crystal clear and fish just seem "perkier" with it . I still do weekly water changes and would never rely on any media to keep water fresh but it will remove junk and plants thrive.
<br />
<br />I replace it every 3-4 months as cheap enough.

"Glorified Charcoal" - Product Review by David Lee (Posted on 7/1/09)

Average

Comments: I have been using this product for several years, but I really wonder if this is any better than any charcoal in the market. My LFS guy was gushing about this product so I have been using it, but my nitrate, phosphate levels are not any better than just using charcoal. Just do regular water changes and save money.

"Must Have for Saltwater Tanks" - Product Review by Vincent Prezioso (Posted on 12/29/08)
Rating
Excellent!

Comments: I have been in the hobby for over ten years, and Chemi Pure is a must have for a saltwater tank. Once you run it on your tank, you will see a difference in water quality. The tank water will be crystal clear. I have a 110 gallon tank, stocked with 100 lbs live rock, a chocolate tang, tomini tang, yellow damsel, harlequin eel and a percula clown. I would use chemi pure on any tank i ever run.

"Good Carbon" - Product Review by Wayne Safara (Posted on 7/8/08)
Rating
Great!

Comments: Clears green water to crystal water in a day. I use the whole bag in Hagen power filter on 220gal tank. The only reason it didn't get an excellent rating. Is because you have to clean it with RO water. Dip it about 3 or 4 times in 3 separate buckets of RO water. Don't drop it in your main RO bucket. It will turn all your RO water black. I called BOYD spoke with to who I believe was the owner. He said "this is way it activates". I have been using this stuff for years. Works better than standard carbon. Still do your water changes even though the product says you dont have to. Clean every 2-3 weeks by dipping the bag into a bucket of aquarium water. This will remove any detrius.
<br />Replace after a few months.
