yes. mix 8-12 oz with water, brush on a damp surface, agitate with nylon brush, and rinse with water.

How do you judge effectiveness of a filter? I have a very healthy 55 gallon saltwater set up but this filter is only a part of my filtration. I wish they offered a larger one. I am certain this contributes to the success of my aquarium. The filter cartridge comes apart so you can change the filter media without constantly buying new cartridges. I don't have an issue with mineral build up, I'm sure if you have any kind of a serious build up it would impact the effectiveness, how could it not?

CLOUDINESS is NOT an indicator of the efficacy of this cleaner. As things in the liquid bond together they will fall out of solution and make it look cloudy, but this is benign. To test if a solution will still work, test for acidity. If it is 3ph or below, it will still work well!

it does come with instructions, specific to mole/vole deterrence.Yes, you dilute it and add simple dish soap to emulsify the oil with the water. you must water... some instructions say before (which I think is because for some soils this allows it to spread better) some after. I have clay soil, so I find it's better to water after treatment... I try to do it just before rain storms so a good soak is in order. I did it a month ago, and I'm just now seeing mole action on my perimeter, so it's time to do it again.

Have only used it on older rusted tanks. The brown rust turns a grey metal colour when I use caustic soda (NaOH) to remove the white sludge deposits. the The product works well coating for further use.I personally would rinse out with a grease remover such as acetone to make clean the metal for bonding. Good luck.

Hey, D. Salyer. Did you give the product a try. I'm thinkin' maybe dissolving a small amnt in maybe a pint of water. I'm interested in the same ?. With your own trash bags this could give you a real cheap solution.

No instructions? Wow! If you had gotten them, you would have found them a bit funny; the translations are a bit strange English. Accompanying the unit, there should have been a small filler container. This should be filled with tap water up to about two thirds volume. Add to this, two or three drops of an essential oil. Open the unit by grasping the base and twisting the decorated top counter clockwise. Pour the liquid from the small container into the receptacle in the unit and return the top. There are two black dots at the base of each. When these lineup up, the unit is properly closed. To start the process, press on the left button near the bottom of the unit. Press several times until a blue red or green light comes on. When the light is on, press and hold the right button. A small light will come on at the 30 minute point. Press the button again and choose 30 minutes, 60 minutes or the other two. When you let go, the fogging should start. Experiment with this process if need be. Just remember, do not tilt the unit while there is water inside it. To change to another scent, discard any small amount of liquid remaining inside the unit, wipe it out with some tissue or cloth. Clean the filler cup thoroughly. Enjoy.

they say "do not use detergent or soap".my own experience is this;this water supply is instant classic white deposits that respond to anti-lime cleaner types.i faced some nasty build up as per directions.i substituted about 1inch of h2o with shower cleaner .ran it for an hour.it did the trick ,I finished with soft sponge and more cleaner.careful not to scratch the glass. rinse well does the trick.careful with the spinner!

It is a lot of work to remove old hard water/soap scum residue. It is almost impervious to hot water, and most chemicals (except very harsh acids) because, it's like plastic once its layered on for a long time. One suggestion I got that really worked on ceramic wall tile (I was cleaning up a dirty rental apt), which not involve burning my lungs with acid vapor in a confined shower space, was to simply physically remove the scum with a razor blade paint scraper. It's the ones people use to remove stickers from windows, etc. You can buy them at hardware stores or dollar stores. (Always be careful and remember where your fingers are while working with a razor!). Firmly and steadily shave/scrape down then across the surface of the dry tiles and you will see many layers of soap scum residue come cascading off (like a powder). You can rinse it all down the drain if you like. Then use the steamer to finish off the remaining residue, then maybe use windex to remove all traces of residue. Voila! The next scheduled cleaning with the steamer should be much faster and easier . Tip: After the tile is all squeeky clean and looks as new, try rubbing it with some Turtle Wax to inhibit build-up till the next regular cleaning.

The manufacturer makes an antimicrobial cleaner to pour into a designated reservoir. Must be ordered separtely. Instructions say no to adding bleach, oils, etc.

That is what I did. I mixed it 50/50 with purified water.Since I am on a drilled water well, I boiled the water. Then let it cool, (but not cold). Put in an equal amount of flakes. Stirred them until the flakes were dissolved.Then put it into a spray bottle... It worked out OK. (No clogged sprayer like I thought might would happen).

I am not sure how that would work. Like the name implies, it is a gel & I suppose it is theoretically possible for particulates to settle out, but it would take an awful long time (months/years??) In addition, there is quite a bit of very fine particulate matter that I don't think will ever come out of suspension. I have used about six gallons now & have more projects ahead of me. I will gladly pay the price & continue to use 'virgin' product.

The website has full instructions as well as a quick video. It mentions using hydrogen peroxide, warm water and even a drop of shampoo if desired. Google the name. I don't think I can put links on here otherwise I would. Otherwise it's: elephantearwashersystem dot com.

i read that seachem purigen can also be ruined if you use dechlorinators that have slime coat agents in them, like aloe and other slimy stuff. like API Stress coat - you cant put that in your tank if you are using purigen or other polymer resin type stuff and it also ruins certain other medias like DeNitrate by coating or clogging it up.

I am not certain re: the bleach. If you do I would recommend a good flushing out of unit with fresh water after the application of mild bleach.DJ

Since these filters don't remove dissolved minerals, they won't keep your dishes from spotting. Also, they have a pretty limited filtering capacity and only filter organic compounds and solid particles trapped with activated charcoal. This approach would only increase your hassles but would be a total waste of your resources. I don't recommend water softener systems based on zeolite because of the need for large quantities of salt needed to periodically recharge the zeolite to purge the calcium and magnesium. In addition, in the softening process, the Ca and Mg are replaced by sodium (Na) that is not healthy for use as drinking water.
