About this item
Instructions:
May generate heat on initial contact with water. Pre-wet by adding to a double
volume of freshwater, followed by a rinse. For best results, PhosGuard 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 85 mL (1/3 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 MultiTest: Phosphate 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 PhosGuard, 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. PhosGuard 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.
