Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your pond pump is switched off and the filter system is depressurized. Follow these steps for best results:
- Unlock the filter lid mechanism according to your FiltoClear manual.
- Lift the foam assembly out of the filter canister.
- Remove the old, degraded foam rings from the central core.
- Slide the new blue and red foam rings onto the core in the manufacturer-specified order.
- Reinsert the assembly into the canister and secure the lid, ensuring the O-ring seal is clean and seated correctly.
For long-term care, rinse the foam media only using pond water during your seasonal maintenance to preserve the beneficial bacteria colonies living within the pores.
