CUPRISORB™ 100ml Seachem

CupriSorb 100ml SEACHEM

- Powerful absorbent of copper and heavy metals
- Copper-specific chelating resin
- Eliminates all types of copper

Overview

CupriSorb™ is a powerful absorbent of copper and heavy metals. CupriSorb™ will remove copper more quickly and efficiently than carbon, making it ideal for emergency copper removal.

It extracts all types of copper, including chelated copper, and remains effective until it takes on a deep blue-black color. It can be regenerated multiple times. When used continuously, it will gradually extract even precipitated copper from the gravel bed/substrate. CupriSorb™ will allow the maintenance of invertebrates in copper-treated tanks by eliminating copper leaching from substrates.

CupriSorb™ is a powerful copper-specific chelating resin. Competing products are not chelating products but simply cation exchange resins. These resins can remove copper from freshwater but are ineffective in saltwater.

Sizes: 100 mL, 250 mL, 500 mL, 4 L

Instructions

Use 250 ml for 600 L (150 US gallons) to remove up to 7,500 mg (12 ppm) of copper. Use in a filter bag such as The Bag™.

For best results, CupriSorb™ should be placed to maximize water flow through it.

To remove undetectable substrate leaching copper, leave CupriSorb™ used for at least 2 weeks after copper tests have reported no copper.

Use in a canister filter, chemical filtration module, box filter, or any high-flow area of a trickle filter.

Exhaustion is indicated by a pronounced discoloration of the beads to a dark blue-black color. Use MultiTest™ Copper to monitor copper levels. Once exhausted, CupriSorb™ can be discarded or regenerated.

REGENERATION:

Soak in a non-metallic container with 2 cups of water and 1⁄2 cup of muriatic acid (available with pool supplies: PAY ATTENTION TO WARNINGS on the acid container!).

It is best done outdoors and away from children.

Soak for 1 hour, rinse well.

Repeat as needed to restore the original color.

Rinse well, add sodium bicarbonate until foaming stops, and rinse again.

CupriSorb™ is now ready to be reused.

If the original color cannot be restored after several acid washes, proceed to the rinsing and bicarbonate steps, then regenerate in HyperSorb™ or Purigen®.
