Purigen in a canister filter

[maico996]

Hi,
I have a 10ml bag of Purigen in my Eheim 2232 Ecco filter. Right now it's in the top basket sandwiched between the media and the fine white filter element. Is this where it should be located or should it be between the fine white element and the lid of the basket so it's the last thing the water passes through before returning to the tank. Or does it really matter?

Thanks!

Purigen can be placed anywhere, as long as it is receiving adequate water flow through it (more contact with water will equal better filtration). We typically recommend the following order of water flow through filtration: first through mechanical (filter floss, filter pad, sponges or anything that will trap larger debris), then chemical (carbon, Purigen, etc.), and then lastly through your biological media (Matrix, bio-balls, bio-wheel, ceramic pieces, etc.). Hope this helps :-)
