Product Information
Full details
The Oase FiltoClear 31000 Filter Foam Set is an essential maintenance kit designed for pond owners who use the FiltoClear 31000 pressure filter system to maintain crystal-clear water. This comprehensive set provides a full replacement of your filtration media, ensuring effective mechanical debris trapping and healthy biological activity for your aquatic life. While it is a high-quality genuine component set, pond owners should note that replacing the media requires disassembling the filter canister, which should be done carefully to avoid disturbing the biological balance established in the system.

FAQs
Can I wash these foams in the washing machine?
No, never wash filter foams in a washing machine or with soap, as chemical residues are toxic to fish.
How often should I replace these sponges?
It is generally recommended to replace them once a year, or sooner if the sponges lose their shape and fail to spring back after being compressed.
Does this set work with other FiltoClear models?
No, this set is specifically sized for the FiltoClear 31000. Other models require different foam dimensions.
Why are there different colors of foam?
The colors indicate the porosity (ppi). Blue is coarse (10ppi), purple is medium (20ppi), and red is fine (30ppi).
Do I need special tools to install these?
You will need a standard screwdriver to secure the provided screws to the foam plates during assembly.
Troubleshooting
Water flow decreased after installation
Ensure the foams are seated correctly in the canister and that no debris is trapped in the inlet/outlet valves.
Foam plates are loose or rattling
Verify that all provided replacement screws are tightened securely to the foam plates.
Cloudy water persists after installation
Check that the pump is sized correctly for the pond volume and that the filter is not being bypassed by an obstructed intake.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This kit is exclusively compatible with the Oase FiltoClear 31000 model. To install, power off your pump and relieve the pressure within the canister before opening. Take care when swapping the foams to align the plates correctly; use the included replacement screws to secure the new foam stack firmly to the plates. Always rinse the new foams in a bucket of pond water before installation to remove any production dust. Avoid using tap water for cleaning or rinsing, as the chlorine can kill the beneficial bacteria that maintain your pond's ecosystem.
