The Pisces Twin Pack 3-Piece Universal Pond Filter Foams are designed for pond owners seeking a versatile and efficient filtration solution to maintain crystal-clear water. These pads are perfect for those who require custom-fit media for various filter boxes, offering a multi-stage approach through different foam densities; however, users should be prepared to manually trim the pads to match the specific dimensions of their existing filtration units.

While intended for ponds, they can be used for freshwater aquariums, provided they are rinsed thoroughly before first use.
Replace the foams when they begin to lose their physical structure or if rinsing no longer clears the accumulated debris.
The foams are graded by density (fine, medium, coarse). Colors may vary by manufacturer batch, but the physical density grading remains consistent.
No, you should never use a washing machine or detergents. Only rinse with non-chlorinated pond water.
Yes, these are made from aquarium-safe foam materials that do not leach harmful chemicals into the water.
The filter foam is likely saturated with debris. Remove and rinse the sponges in a bucket of pond water.
Use a sharp pair of scissors or a craft knife to trim the foam slightly smaller than the filter bay to ensure a snug but manageable fit.
To set up, first measure your filter compartment using your current filter media as a template. Lay the Pisces foam on a flat surface and use sharp shears or a utility knife to cut the material to the required dimensions. When installing, place the coarse foam at the water intake point, followed by the medium and fine layers. For maintenance, rinse the pads periodically in a bucket filled with pond water rather than tap water; the chlorine in tap water will destroy the beneficial bacteria colonies living within the foam cells.
