Know before you buy
No, these pads are specifically engineered for the Pondmaster PM500 filter system. Using them in other models may result in an improper fit and reduced filtration efficiency.
The coarse layer acts as a mechanical filter to trap larger debris like leaves and fish waste, while the carbon layer performs chemical filtration to absorb impurities, odors, and discoloration.
No, these pads are designed for single use. Once the carbon media is saturated and the coarse material becomes clogged, they should be replaced to maintain optimal water quality.
This case contains 6 individual packages, with each package holding 2 pads, for a total of 12 filter pads.
Replacement frequency depends on your pond's specific bioload, such as the number of fish and the amount of plant life. Generally, you should replace them when you notice a decrease in water flow or a decline in water clarity.
