Achilles Tang Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 Good stuff. But you can't recharge it. It's an absorbent. Once 'full', throw away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingFish Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 It is very useful as it can detoxify a contaminated system. You can read more about it here. There are lab tests conducted on its absorbing capability, effects on trace elements, etc. I personally see Polyfilter as a emergency measure.

I see.... since there are so many members used it b4 and have such good commend, think don't need to consider already. Petmark selling $33/ 3 pkt... anywhere else selling cheaper?
