The Pisces Pre-Filter Foam Cube is an essential filtration upgrade for pond owners looking to extend the lifespan of their pumps and improve water clarity. Designed for those seeking a low-maintenance way to capture debris and foster beneficial bacteria, this system acts as a mechanical barrier at the pump inlet; however, users should note that the large size requires sufficient space within the pond for optimal placement.

The cube is designed to be compatible with most standard pond pumps, thanks to the customizable removable inserts.
Cleaning frequency depends on your pond's debris load, but a general rule is to rinse it whenever you notice a decline in water output.
If you rinse the foam using pond water, the bacterial colonies will remain largely intact. Avoid using harsh soaps or chlorinated water.
Yes, the foam can be carefully trimmed with a sharp utility knife if you need to fit it into a restricted space.
With proper care and regular rinsing, the foam is designed for long-term use, though it will eventually require replacement as it degrades over time.
The foam cube is likely saturated with debris. Remove and rinse the foam thoroughly to restore flow.
Ensure all air is removed from the pores by squeezing the foam under water, and verify the pump weight is sufficient to anchor it.
To install, remove the necessary foam inserts from the center of the cube until the fit is snug against your pump's inlet nozzle. Ensure the cube is fully submerged to prevent air pockets from affecting the pump motor. For care, monitor the water flow rate; when you notice a decrease in return pressure, remove the cube and rinse it in a bucket of conditioned or pond water—avoid using chlorinated tap water, as this will kill the beneficial bacteria living inside the foam. Squeeze the foam gently until the runoff is clear, then reinstall it.
