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.  If you want a more in depth product comparison click here. 

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 advanced discussion on the topic of nitrates click here.

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.
