Overview
• Next-generation regenerable phosphate adsorption resin
effective in marine aquaria; will also remove silicates.
• Far more effective than
activated alumina and granular ferric products.
• Will not negatively
impact water quality nor release phosphate or silicate once exhausted; will
not break up or disintegrate like ferric medias, and contains no aluminum to
dissolve in aquaria and harm inhabitants.
• Synthetic polymer resin
beads provide for durability and excellent flow characteristics; may be
employed in fluiduzed-bed, canister, or passive filtration.
• Regenerable up to five
times, dramatically increasing cost effectiveness.

Phosphat-R
Instructions and Guidelines
Basic : Prior to first use, rinse resin under a stream of
purified water. For initial application on aquarium, use 1 ml of
PhosphātR per 1 US-gallon of water in system and monitor
phosphate concentration during usage. Subsequent application of
resin may be at the rate of 2 ml per 1 US-gallon.
Advanced: Prior to first use, rinse resin under a stream
of purified water. To a point, effectiveness of resin is
directly related to the reaction time it has with aquarium
water; the longer the reaction time, the more effectively it
will remove phosphate and silicate. Once phosphate concentration
(”[PO43-]”) has not changed for a period of 4 - 6 hours, remove
and regenerate resin, then reapply if necessary. In all cases,
the use of a mechanical pre-filter to remove particulate organic
material from water prior to its interaction with this media
will prolong effectiveness. Fluidized-bed filtration
(recommended): follow instructions of filter manufacturer for
optimal volume of media to use in reaction chamber; start at a
low flow rate and adjust to keep media in a steady “boil” within
lower 2/3 of chamber; flow rate should not be such that resin is
ejected into aquarium. Canister filtration: Load resin into
filter cartridge as directed by filter manufacturer; leave resin
in place until [PO43-] reaches desired level or remains
unchanged, as directed above. Slowing the flow of water through
the filter may be required to obtain maximum effectiveness of
resin. Passive filtration: Place resin loosely in a 150µm mesh
filter bag and locate in an area of low- to medium-flow. Turning
bag over once during usage will serve to shift the resin beads
and increases effectivness of this method.

Caution: Keep out of reach of children.
Not for human consumption.
Note: Resin sold moist. Keep closed to
prevent drying. Weight varies due to moisture content, therefore
product is sold by volume rather than weight. | | | |
