FAQs

Will these foams fit the Oase FiltoClear 6000?

No, this set is exclusively sized for the FiltoClear 15000 model.

How often should I replace the foam set?

Replacement intervals vary by pond load, but generally, foams should be replaced when they no longer spring back to shape or when cleaning no longer improves flow.

Should I wash the new foams before installing?

It is not strictly necessary, but a quick rinse in pond water will remove any dust from shipping and prepare the media for biological colonization.

Why are there two different colors of foam?

The different colors indicate different pore densities, which work together to catch a wider range of solid waste particles.

Can I use chlorine to clean my filter foams?

Never use chlorine or household detergents as they will kill the beneficial bacteria in your filter and can be toxic to pond life.

Troubleshooting

Water flow remains low after installation

Ensure the foam rings are seated flat against each other and check that the filter inlet/outlet pipes are not clogged with debris.

Filter lid leaks after replacement

Check the main canister O-ring for dirt or damage, and ensure the locking ring is tightened evenly and fully engaged.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Genuine Oase manufacturer parts guarantee compatibility
  • Restores original pressure and flow efficiency
  • Comprehensive set replaces all internal media at once
  • Easy to install during routine filter maintenance

Cons

  • Specific to the FiltoClear 15000 model only
  • Requires manual removal and cleaning of the filter canister
  • Foam sets are considered consumables and require periodic replacement

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your pond pump is switched off and the filter system is depressurized. Follow these steps for best results:

  1. Unlock the filter lid mechanism according to your FiltoClear manual.
  2. Lift the foam assembly out of the filter canister.
  3. Remove the old, degraded foam rings from the central core.
  4. Slide the new blue and red foam rings onto the core in the manufacturer-specified order.
  5. 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.
