Poly Filter Pad 8" x 4"
Advanced Filtration for Fresh and Saltwater Aquariums
The Poly Filter Pad 8" x 4" offers superior filtration by removing ammonia, heavy metals, harmful organics, and all forms of phosphate. Its patented material ensures water purification without softening water or removing essential trace elements. Ideal for both freshwater and marine aquariums, Poly Filter also safely removes medications after treatment, protecting fish and invertebrates.
Key Features
-
Removes impurities: Ammonia, heavy metals, harmful organics, and phosphate
-
Medication removal: Eliminates traces of parasite and antibiotic treatments
-
Mechanical filtration: Debris clings to fibers, allowing water to flow freely with no clogging
-
Safe for biological filtration: Supports bacteria culture by allowing sufficient ammonia to reach the biological filter
-
Color-indicating: Changes color to indicate what contaminants are being removed
-
Compatible: Works in power filters, plastic undergravel filters, and canister filters
-
Patented material: Impervious to salt and organic-loving to certain compounds
How It Works
-
Freshwater & Marine Systems: Place in filter holder, undergravel, or canister compartment. Do not restrict water flow for maximum efficiency.
-
Medication Use: Remove before adding any treatment. Replace after treatment to remove residual medication.
-
Vitamins & Trace Elements: Temporarily remove before dosing; return after 12 hours to maintain filtration efficiency.
-
Maintenance: Poly Filter changes color based on absorbed contaminants (e.g., blue for copper, red for aluminum, yellow for ammonia). Replace when fully discolored for optimal performance.
