FAQs
How often should I replace the Hozelock EasyClear foam?
Generally, you should replace the foam when it begins to lose its shape, crumble, or when rinsing no longer restores proper water flow.
Can I wash the foam with tap water?
It is recommended to use pond water to rinse the foam because chlorine in tap water can kill the beneficial bacteria living inside the filter.
Is this compatible with all Hozelock filters?
No, this is specifically designed for the Hozelock EasyClear range. Always check your specific model number before purchasing.
What happens if the foam is not replaced?
Clogged or degraded foam will restrict water flow, causing the pump to work harder and reducing the clarity of the pond water.
Does the color of the foam matter?
The foam is designed to be aquatic-safe; any discoloration over time is typically due to the accumulation of organic matter.
Troubleshooting
Reduced water flow
The foam is likely clogged with debris. Remove the foam and rinse it thoroughly in a bucket of pond water.
Water appears cloudy despite new foam
Check that the foam is seated correctly with no gaps and ensure the UV bulb in your EasyClear unit is still functional.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Genuine OEM part ensures hardware compatibility
- Easy to install without special tools
- Promotes clearer water through efficient mechanical filtration
- Constructed from safe, non-toxic pond-grade materials
Cons
- Requires periodic cleaning to prevent clogging
- Not compatible with non-EasyClear filtration units
- Foam will eventually degrade and require replacement regardless of care
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, turn off your Hozelock EasyClear unit and disconnect it from the power source. Open the filter housing according to the EasyClear manual, remove the old, degraded foam, and slide the new 1408 foam into the designated compartment. Ensure the foam sits flush against the housing walls to prevent water from bypassing the filter. For care, rinse the foam in a bucket of pond water rather than tap water to preserve the beneficial bacteria colony. Do not use chemical detergents, as these can be toxic to pond life.
