Anyone use Boyd Chemi-Pure?

My apologies in advance if this has been covered before but the Search is temporarily disabled.

Just wondering, does anyone use this product?

I'm curious because it seems to have a function different than Purigen and carbon in that it claims to also remove copper and metal (I thought copper was a metal?). It also claims to remove ions, odors, all pollution, gasses, CO2, and color Phenol. What kind of ions, pollution, and gas are they talking about? It's so vague.

And what do they mean by "Necessary organisms allow growth with no danger of pollution?"

Also, they claim that it "Eliminates fish loss due to unbalanced or polluted water, acidity, and pH changes." Does this mean it buffers?

Could anyone shed some light on this? Thanks.

Some people have used it. I don't think it's any better than running carbon, most likely.

I have used it but i dont see any difference with any other carbon the only difference that i can see is that it has some kind of resin with the carbon what exactly does it do i honestly dont know but the carbon works good.

It is not disabled, at least not usually. it is just prioritized for Premium Members.
