Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This filter foam set is specifically designed for Fish Mate 10000 and Fish Mate 15000 Powerclenz filter systems. Ensure your filter model matches this specification before purchase.
Setup:
- Turn off your filter system and disconnect it from the power supply.
- Carefully disassemble the filter housing according to the manufacturer's instructions for your Fish Mate unit.
- Remove the old, used filter foam inserts.
- Insert the new Pisces Replacement Filter Foam Set into the appropriate compartments within the filter. Ensure they fit snugly.
- Reassemble the filter housing.
- Reconnect the power supply and turn the filter system back on.
Care:
- Replacement: For optimal filtration and pond health, it is recommended to replace the filter foam set every 6 months. This prevents the buildup of harmful bacteria and ensures efficient trapping of debris.
- Cleaning: While the foam is designed for replacement, if an interim rinse is absolutely necessary, use *only* pond water or clean, dechlorinated water. Never use tap water, as chlorine can kill beneficial bacteria. Gently squeeze the foam to remove loose debris, but avoid aggressive scrubbing which can damage the material and its filtration capabilities.
