Phospate Remover

[JamesTasker]

Can I reuse my phosphate remover thingy (looks like a teabag). I've used it before but does that mean that i can't use it again?

good question...
I do know they use phosphate absorbing resin
but I dont know if the resin is something that gets saturated and becomes usless...

Not sure, but i'd like to know too.

Most phosphate removers become inactive after a period of time, they are not economically rechargable. Use new if your phosphate levels are rising.

Could it have adverse effects if i tried it anyway?

 

[Lateral Line]

Unlikely. Most modern removers work until they are full then just stop. Older products used to deteriorate when they were exhausted and leach the material back into the water, but a quality product should be no problem at all.

What is the product?

Hmmm, not quite sure. I threw the packet away. Could be Green-X but i'm not sure. THanks for the help
