The JBL SymecPad II is an essential filtration accessory designed for aquarium hobbyists using JBL CristalProfi e15/1901 and 1902 external canister filters who want to achieve professional-grade water clarity. These ultra-fine fleece pads excel at trapping microscopic debris that standard mechanical sponges often allow to bypass, resulting in significantly cleaner aquarium water. While these pads offer superior filtration performance, they are intended for single use or a single rinse and must be replaced regularly to prevent flow restriction as they saturate with waste.

No. You should never use a washing machine or detergents as these can leave harmful chemical residues that will kill aquarium livestock.
Replacement frequency depends on your bioload. Monitor your filter's flow rate; when it noticeably slows down, it is time to replace the pad.
The SymecPad II is specifically cut for JBL CristalProfi filters. While it may fit others if trimmed, it is designed for a perfect fit in the specified JBL models.
While some bacteria will colonize the fleece, its primary purpose is mechanical filtration to trap particles. It should not be considered a replacement for your dedicated ceramic bio-media.
We recommend rinsing only once. After the second cycle, the material density usually degrades, and it will no longer effectively trap fine particles.
The fleece pad is likely saturated with debris. Remove and replace with a fresh pad.
Ensure the pad is placed in the final filtration stage and fits tightly against the basket walls to prevent water bypass.
Handle the fleece gently. Ensure the filter basket is clean and free of sharp plastic burrs that may tear the material.
Installing the SymecPad is straightforward due to its pre-cut shape. Simply open your filter basket stack, remove the current top layer, and drop the SymecPad into the designated basket. Ensure the edges sit flush against the basket walls to prevent water from flowing around the pad rather than through it.
Care instructions are simple but strict:
