PhosBond is a revolutionary new product that combines the phosphate
removing capabilities of both aluminum oxide and granular ferric oxide
into a singular material forming a synergistic effect. It rapidly
removes phosphates and silicates from saltwater and freshwater,
combining the best of both types of phosphate removers. Its high
porosity and surface area give it a large binding capacity, while its
physical strength and integrity assures that it will not break down from
mechanical stress.
Directions
For best results, PhosBond should be rinsed before use and
placed so as to maximize the flow of water through it but not so that it
tumbles against itself in flow. It may be used in a canister filter,
media chamber, box filter, or any high flow area of a trickle filter.
Use of a filter bag is recommended.
Use 60 mL (¼ cup) for every 200 L (50 US gallons) saltwater or 400 L
(100 US gallons) freshwater. Leave product in place for 4 days, then
test phosphate or silicate concentrations with either MultiTestPhosphate or MultiTest Silicate. If the concentration of the component
you are trying to decrease has not dropped to around 0.02 mg/L, then
replace the PhosBond, otherwise leave in place until levels begin to
climb again. As long as concentrations remain under control, the product
is not exhausted. Over treating is not recommended. PhosBond is not an
exchange resin and does not release anything into the water. It does
not leach phosphate or silicate back into the water and may be removed,
dried, and returned to service until exhausted. Continuous use of small
quantities is better than intermittent use of larger quantities.
