this is what purigen says its product does

Purigen is a premium synthetic adsorbent that is unlike any other filtration product. It is not a mixture of ion exchangers or adsorbents, but a unique macro-porous synthetic polymer that removes soluble and insoluble impurities from water at a rate and capacity that exceeds all others by over 500%. Purigenâ„¢ controls ammonia, nitrites and nitrates by removing nitrogenous organic waste that would otherwise release these harmful compounds. Purigenâ€™sâ„¢ impact on trace elements is minimal. It significantly raises redox. It polishes water to unparalleled clarity. Purigenâ„¢ darkens progressively as it exhausts, and is easily renewed by treating with bleach. Purigenâ„¢ is designed for both marine and freshwater use. This product is sold by volume. Cited weight is minimal weight.
