Product Information
Full details
Designed specifically for pond owners using the Hozelock Bioforce 1100 system, this Pisces replacement filter foam is ideal for those looking to maintain optimal water clarity and biological balance. The primary benefit of this replacement pad is its high-porosity structure, which facilitates the growth of essential beneficial bacteria while mechanically trapping waste; however, users should note that this specific foam is engineered strictly for the Bioforce 1100 model and will not be compatible with other filter dimensions.

FAQs
How often should I replace this foam?
For optimal filtration performance, it is recommended to replace the filter foam every 6 months.
Can I use this in a filter other than the Bioforce 1100?
No, this product is specifically designed for the Bioforce 1100 and may not provide a proper seal in other models.
Should I wash the new foam with tap water?
It is best to avoid tap water, as the chlorine can kill the beneficial bacteria. Use pond water to rinse if necessary.
What are the exact dimensions of the foam?
The foam measures 19cm in diameter, 5cm in depth, and has a 5cm hole.
Does this foam help with algae?
While it captures physical debris that contributes to algae growth, it is a mechanical/biological filter and should be used in conjunction with a UV clarifier.
Troubleshooting
Water flow is significantly reduced
The filter foam is likely clogged with debris. Rinse the foam in pond water or replace it if it is worn out.
Filter foam does not fit the housing
Verify you are using a Hozelock Bioforce 1100 unit. This foam is only designed for this specific model and will not fit larger or smaller variations.
Water remains cloudy after replacement
Ensure the foam is seated correctly so no water is bypassing the filter. Also, check that your UV bulb is still functioning correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, power down your Bioforce 1100 filter and remove the lid according to the manufacturer's instructions. Take out the old, saturated foam pad and clear any residual sludge from the chamber. Place the new Pisces replacement foam into the housing, ensuring it is seated flat and that the 5cm center hole is aligned correctly. Once secured, replace the filter lid and restore power. For care, it is recommended to rinse the foam in old pond water during partial cleanings to preserve the bacterial colonies. Replace the unit entirely every 6 months to maintain peak filtration efficiency.
