Vitapet purrit clay plus zeolite?

Post by kanesham »

HI,

I am having trouble finding some quality zeolite and I read someone on here stating that the Vitapet clay kitty litter was of a high quality. Can anyone confirm this for me?

Are you after Diatomite or Zeolite ? Normally you would only add Zeolite to Diatomite at a ratio of about 30% Zeolite and 70% Diatomite :2c:

Not sure - the kitty litter sounds like it would be a substitute for Diatomite, not Zeolite. Normally Zeolite is used as an additive to a mix to help in nutrient retainment and later release. Have you tried a large produce store for Zeolite ?
