Chemi-pure

[danielmanlee]

Hi Everyone.. has anyone have experience with Chemi-pure?

do you think it's worth buying this product?

 

[DetectiveTofu]

I'd be interested in hearing the results as well =)

i've been using chemipure elite for 2 months now and am happy with it.

Tr3, why are you happy with it? What kind of results have you seen?

 

[TR3XX]

for one, my water seems much clearer. also, the water seems to be virtually odorless. it says it lasts up to 6 months but i'm thinking i will replace mine every 3 months. my levels have been much more stable with the chemi-pure in the tank as well.

*note, i only have a 25g tank so my results may differ for those with larger (or smaller?) tanks.

i have used the stuff for about 1.5 years, and i swear by it!

even though it says on the bottle no water changes ever needed still do the water changes and replace it every 3 months depending on your waste load

so chemipure isnt like other carbon that you should remove from your tank after 24hrs??

 

[sjm817]

Why would you remove carbon after 24hr?

sorry, long day at work, idk why i said 24 hours.
i mean 3 days... at least thats what the kent carbon that i have says not to use it for more then 3days. and i have read that running carbon for long periods of time starts to remove trace elements. true or false?

False. Even if it did, your weekly water changes will replenish any that are lost. I run carbon 24/7, changed monthly, with very positive results. From what I've seen about Chemi-Pure in the Chemistry Forum the jury is out. Some say it's worthless and others swear by it. GAC and GFO are tried and true.

 

[igotthatFIREman]

what is gac and gfo?

Chemi-Pure is AWESOME! It instantly polishes your water making it crystal clear. Also I notice my Alk and PH snap into line if I am having issues with them after adding Chemi-Pure. MUCH better than plain carbon.
