Rapidly and Safely Eliminates Sludge and Detritus. Pristine uses bio-augmentation, a non-chemical and natural method, to improve water quality. It provides bacteria that break down excess food, waste and detritus in freshwater and marine systems. It will also reduce excess nutrients (e.g. ammonia, nitrates, and nitrites) that may fuel the growth of nuisance and disease-causing organisms. As part of their ongoing environmental stewardship efforts Seachem will donate a portion of the profits for every specially labeled edition bottle of Prime, Stability, Pristine, and Clarity (in Bonus Sizes of 325 mL — 30% more) sold to a Rhino preserve in South Africa.
