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.
