Save Time
and Money, Eliminate
Nitrates, Control Algae, and Reduce
Maintenance all at once!
An Aquaripure Nitrate Filter will
greatly reduce the need for water changes in your fish
tanks, saving you time, money, and reducing
the stress on your aquarium fish.
What is an
Aquaripure Nitrate Filter?
The Aquaripure nitrate filter, also
know as a denitrator, is a comprehensive biological filter.
It uses beneficial bacteria to break down invisible organic
matter and nitrates completely into Nitrogen gas which then
escapes into the atmosphere. The Aquaripure achieves this
in an extremely safe and controlled environment and after the
water from the Aquaripure is aerated there is nothing left but
pure, clean, crystal clear water. This same basic process
is even used by water treatment plants to make wastewater safe
for human consumption and to clean polluted water. In
contrast, other biological filters only convert organic matter
into nitrates which then accumulate in the aquarium and physical
filters only remove larger particulate matter and not the
smaller invisible organic material.
What makes
Aquaripure the best?
Don't be
fooled by the cheap nitrate removal
products. These are simply a tiny
band-aid on a large and permanent problem.
You will need to buy them over and over
again and they are not a good value.
Only a specialized nitrate filter like
Aquaripure can provide permanent and
complete nitrate reduction. And
unlike other similar nitrate filters
Aquaripure's nitrate filters use proprietary
and patent pending technology to maximize
it's efficiency and effectiveness.
Aquaripure's filters all have a tremendous
internal surface area for denitrifying
bacteria to grow and thrive, much more than
any "coil" denitrator or the other
competition. For example, it would
take more than ten "coil" type
denitrators to equal the nitrate removing
power of Aquaripure's X-Large denitrator.
Moreover, many other
nitrate filters are vastly overrated
in terms of their capacity.
In "sulfur" nitrate filters the effluent contains large
amounts of H2SO4, sulfuric acid, and SO4,
sulfate. You must have a separate reactor with carbonate
to neutralize the acid. The resulting effluent is still very
high in sulfates and they will accumulate in the tank.
According to the
Environmental Protection Agency, high sulfates in drinking water can cause laxative
effects. It is possible that it may also have adverse
effects in the aquarium, especially on sensitive fish. Also, the costly sulfur and
carbonate media must periodically be replaced. None of this is
an issue with Aquaripure's filters. With Aquaripure, no
sulfuric acid or sulfates are produced and nothing will ever
need to be replaced.
The chemical reaction in the
Aquaripure
produces
10 CO2 + 6 N2
+ 26 H2O
Water and Carbon Dioxide versus
Sulfuric Acid and Sulfates.
Which would you prefer in your
aquarium?
Aquaripure's denitrators utilize the only highest quality
tubing, valves, and connections. You will not find
any cheap parts on an Aquaripure filter.
Aquaripure's denitrators are also
"pre-populated" with more beneficial bacteria
than ever to start working fast.
Unlike other nitrate removal products,
Aquaripure's denitrators are designed to be
safe, extremely easy to use, require little
maintenance, and completely remove nitrates
for many, many years.

Why is removing Nitrates so important?
All animals
including fish produce ammonia and other
organic waste products which are turned
into nitrites and then nitrates by bacteria. The
fact is that in
any mature aquarium high nitrates are the
only reason to do frequent
water changes. Nitrates are less toxic
than ammonia or nitrites, but they are still
toxic to humans, animals and fish and are a
primary cause of water pollution. For
example, the
US
Environmental Protection Agency's maximum allowable nitrates in
tap water is only 10 parts per million.
Nitrates are also the primary cause of
unwanted algae growth in an aquarium. For a more

Can I use it with fresh and saltwater
fish tanks?
YES! The
Aquaripure denitrator can be used with all
freshwater tropical fish aquariums and
saltwater aquariums including coral reef
tanks and freshwater planted tanks. It
is completely harmless to all freshwater and
marine aquarium fish. All any
aquarium really needs for great water
quality is good water flow, a little
mechanical filtration, and an Aquaripure
filter.
How big are Aquaripure's denitrators?
The
Small
Aquaripure
is 7 1/4" x 9 3/4" x 14 1/2".
The
Medium Aquaripure
is 7 1/4" x 9 3/4" x 24 1/2".
The
Large Aquaripure is
7 1/4" x 17 1/4" x 24 1/2".
The
X-Large Aquaripure
is 11 1/2" x 11 1/2" x 17
1/4". They can be easily
be hidden underneath or behind almost any tank setup.
Will I ever have to do water changes
again?
Aquaripure's denitrators are
designed to completely eliminate nitrates
even in fairly well stocked tanks that accumulate
nitrates at a rate of up to 25-30 ppm (parts
per million) a week. It
will not affect the levels of trace
elements and absolutely no harmful
substances will accumulate as a result of
the Aquaripure. However, we
recommend doing a partial water change
occasionally just to ensure a proper balance
of all trace elements in the aquarium.
For
those occasional water changes and top offs
Aquaripure recommends using clean water
purified with a
Reverse Osmosis water filter.
Do I have to change anything or add
anything to the Aquaripure?
Unlike other
filters in which you have to replace the
internal media, you will never have to
change anything on the Aquaripure.
There are no filters to change and no mess
to deal with. There is a "feeding"
tube on all of Aquaripure's denitrators that
is very easy to use. You simply inject
sugar water or alcohol into the denitrator
once a week. Feeding and adjusting the
Aquaripure only costs pennies and will only
take seconds of your time. Aquaripure's denitrators
are designed to be easy to setup and
maintain, and will give you many years of
service.
