This is what I do now, dump them in a number 3 tub as soon as I get home and put some water on them. Change it till it runs clear.

Is that method purging them? And how many times do you change water?

I'm more concerned with washing the mud and feed off of them than I am purging them. I change the water 2 or 3 times and it normally gets clear.
