ARKA Ultra-Pure Premium Water Clarifying Filter Media
Achieve exceptionally clear, polished aquarium water with ARKA Ultra-Pure – a premium regenerable filter resin designed to remove dissolved organic pollutants, yellowing compounds and water-clouding substances from both freshwater and marine aquariums.
Unlike traditional activated carbon, Ultra-Pure uses advanced synthetic adsorption resin technology to capture even the smallest dissolved organic molecules, helping maintain crystal-clear water and a healthier aquatic environment.
Product Overview
ARKA Ultra-Pure is a high-performance synthetic adsorption media that effectively removes dissolved organic waste responsible for yellow water, unpleasant odours and reduced water clarity. Its unique macroporous structure provides exceptional adsorption capacity, making it an excellent alternative or complement to activated carbon.
Supplied ready to use in a fine mesh filter bag, Ultra-Pure can be placed directly into any filter with good water flow and is suitable for use in external filters, internal filters, sumps and media reactors.
One of its key advantages is that it can be regenerated and reused, making it a cost-effective and environmentally friendly filtration solution.

How to Use
Simply place the supplied filter bag in an area of high water flow within your filtration system.
One 70g pack treats up to 400 litres of aquarium water. Replace or regenerate the media once it becomes noticeably darker in colour, indicating that its adsorption capacity has been exhausted.
Ultra-Pure can be regenerated by soaking it in a 1:1 solution of water and unscented household bleach (8.25% sodium hypochlorite) for 24 hours, before rinsing thoroughly according to the manufacturer's instructions. This restores the media's adsorption capacity, allowing it to be reused multiple times.
