Not been in the CO2 forum for a while but I was doing mine at the same time as Purigen every 2-3 months. At a fiver each I had 2 and just 'swapped' them over. I had 2 purigen bags too and kept the newly cleaned one in a dark DI water filled box in a dark cupboard until the next change to stop it from cracking.
So just like the Purigen it had 1 day in bleach followed by 1 day in vinegar followed by 1 day in dechlor. (In a bowl in the shed. lol)
I assume it should be bleach first then vinegar and not the other way round to restore any Ph difference that may happen to neutral? Maybe there is no difference with the diffuser etc. lol
One thing I will add though (Boyu) is when I first used these with the Tetratec I could see the bubbles and I only used it for a month or so before returning to a Rhinox. The bubbles were too big and you could see them come out the lily straight to the surface and therefore pointless.
When I used it with the Eheim I could see no bubbles!!! 100% solution in essence.
Both filters rated at 700lph and the diffuser positioned 6" from filter on the out side.
