the German Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 iv heard people say that it takes them 2-4 days to recharge and i was shocked so i wanted to share with every one how i recharge my purigen it only takes 25min and its snow white there is some things you will need and build that you can keep for ever and get them out when you need to do a recharge.so ill try my best to enplane as i go . the first thing you need is a standard household beaters (you can buy some or do what i did and steal your wife's be warned that you will cop a ear full )then 1 small bucket that the beaters fit in and reach the bottom of the bucket then make a stand that fits over the bucket and tye the beaters on .

the German Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 add your dirty purigen to the bucket and bleach so to cover purigen turn on your beaters on slow and away you go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the German Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 now you will get a lot of fome from the bleach so every 5 mins or so you have to stop and scoop the fome away then turn back on and repeat till its white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bidkev Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Good idea if you're pushed for a spare batch. being a lazy b@stard I have twice the amount that I need and nothing could be easier than tipping it in a bucket and leaving it to soak in bleach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the German Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 this is after 15 mins and about 2 stops to get foam of the top this is what you end up with then rinse withe water a few times and then with something to remove the bleach some use prime but i fine this is to expensive and just use api tap water conditioner and it works well then its back in the tank in about 40 min hope this helps some of you steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grubby Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Im wondering instead of using prime or another brand of chlorine neutraliser if you could use the swimming pool de-clorinator crystal which are as cheap as to buy ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasMick Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Could you use a couple of airstones instead of the beaters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porthoz Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 I have actually always found it bleaches fast but took days soaking with declorinator to get the smell of bleach out. If I added to tank before smell gone, caused issues, so that was what signals safe to use again to me. Anyone have more effective way to remove the bleach, maybe beaters in the fresh rinse?

the German Posted June 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Could you use a couple of airstones instead of the beaters? So I tried it this week Mick with a air stone . After 5 days I gave up,yes it did work to a extent but did give up with all the waiting ,the beaters still kick butt,did 4l this morning In 20 min from black to snow white .carn't bet that!

VegasMick Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Yep, sounds like beaters are the go. Was thinking maybe a power head would work but prob not as the motor would get clogged. Beaters ftw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad-n-angry Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 i use a power head 50/50 bleach water mix leave the purigen in the bag turn it on 15-20 mins later done rinse de-chlor back in the tank with in an hour at most 400 lph power head all done in a 10ltr bucket thats got no more than 3-4 ltrs of water in it if i even use that much mix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
