Power Cleanse HM is a supreme quality, high activity filtration resin particularly selected for adsorption of copper and other toxic metals in marine, brackish and freshwater systems include planted aquariums.

It will outperform fiber pads and is more economical because it can be regenerated. Its light colored beads can turn light blue or shades of gray depending on the metals adsorbed and this indicates the need for regeneration. PowerCleanse HM is regenerable over and over again for a minimum of 2 years in normal use.


Directions and protocol.

  1. Place loosely in a 200 micron polyester filter bag or filter chamber and position to force water flow through the product.
  2. For best results, use a particulate prefilter ahead of PowerCleanse HM, such as filter floss or fine sponge.
