FAQs

How often should I replace these filter foams?

Generally, replace them once a year or when the sponges lose their structural integrity and fail to return to shape after washing.

Can I use these in my BioPress 6000?

No, this specific foam set (15558) is sized exclusively for the BioPress 4000 and Pondopress 5000.

Should I wash the new foams before using them?

It is not strictly necessary, but you can give them a quick rinse in pond water to remove any factory dust.

Why are there two black foams and one blue foam?

The black foams are coarse to trap larger debris, while the blue foam is finer to catch smaller particles, providing a layered filtration approach.

Does this set include the plastic filter inserts?

No, this set contains only the replacement foam sponges.

Troubleshooting

Water flow remains low after replacing foams

Check the filter intake and discharge hoses for blockages, and ensure the pump impeller is clean.

Sponges are difficult to slide onto the center stem

Ensure the center hole (6.5cm) is aligned correctly and that there is no debris stuck inside the foam's center channel.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures perfect manufacturer-specified fit
  • Restores pond water clarity effectively
  • Easy to install during regular maintenance
  • Durable material resists premature degradation

Cons

  • Not compatible with other Oase BioPress models
  • Requires manual cleaning of the filter housing during replacement
  • Does not include biological filter media, only foam

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This replacement set is explicitly compatible with the Oase BioPress 4000 and Pondopress 5000 filters. To install, ensure your filter pump is powered off and the unit is depressurized. Open the filter lid according to your manual, remove the old sponges, and slide the new ones onto the center stem, alternating between the coarse and fine layers as directed by the housing layout. To maximize the lifespan of your new foams, perform regular maintenance by rinsing them in a bucket of pond water rather than tap water; the chlorine in tap water can kill the beneficial bacteria living inside the sponges. If you must use tap water, squeeze the foams thoroughly to remove all residues before reinserting them.
