Premium Koi Pond Filter Media Roll - High-Efficiency Pond Filters for Outdoor Ponds, Reusable Fish Pond Filter Material, Made in USA (PRO - Dye-Free - 6ft)

Works well and holds up

Filters are essential in my fish pond. The thickness, performance and ease of cleaning is excellent.

Last year someone bought property uphill behind my 3800 gallon Koi pond and cleared off a lot of brush and grasses - that lot is now just dirt, much of which is washing downhill and into my pond. The water got so thick with dirt I could only see the fish when they surfaced for food. I have 375 gallons of filtration that had always kept the water clear and healthy; the tanks became clogged with mud and the weekly cleanings weren't making a dent in the mess. I decided to try this along with my regular filtration. 3 weeks ago I got my first two 10-foot rolls; put it as an extra layer in my mechanical filter and the filter at the head of my stream, into the skimmer box, wrapped the pump in the bio-filter, even around the exit tube in the vortex for the first few days. I've been kept very busy pulling and hosing tons of mud off this material, but it's working! I ordered another couple of rolls, changed the configuration in the mechanical filter where I have an upright "wall" of this material (preceded by several layers of matala), followed by 100 micron felt pads, and another layer of this material, and today the water is clearer than I can recall it being in several years! I'm *very* pleased with this product! My only complaint is that it does deteriorate fairly quickly under many and hard hosings. But now that the mess is gone I'm sure this will help keep things manageable without having to hose the crud out of it every couple of day. Highly recommend as an addition to regular filters/biofilters to keep the water cleaned up of floating gunk! The pix I posted aren't the best, the lighting was too bright, BUT you can see the bottom, and the lily pot on the bottom - which is 5 feet down!

I bought this based on some You Tube recommendations as a cost effective means of filter cartridge replacement. I cut a piece to the dimensions of the cartridge in my Tetra Whisper (that's a joke) 40 HOB filter and installed it 3 days ago. This fits in the slot where the factory cartridge goes. Water flow is excellent and the media filtered out quite a bit of detritus. Distribution of the detritus was fairly even, mimicking that on the factory cartridge, indicating normal flow through the new media. Value for this product is excellent. If I cut straight, I will get 32 pads out of my 72"x16" roll. That comes to $0.50 per pad, a tremendous savings given the $5.00 cost of replacement cartridges available at SF Bat area Petco's. The product is easily cut with a standard household scissors the only downside is that the factory pads have a slightly denser weave that does a better job of polishing the water. Nothing is perfect, but this stuff is a tremendous value.

I wrapped it around my pumps with zip ties and it cleared the water within 24 hours. Rinse the pads when needed and you’re good to go. It’s amazing. We just put this pond in at our new house and so much dirt got into the water from backfilling/ rocks/ mulch/ etc. and I could not get it clear until this.

I normally use Danner media filters for my 1,000 gallon pond, but they have gone up in price.I cut this to 12 by 12 to fit my submerged media box. I was impressed at first by the thickness, but it shrinks very quickly.I have had to rinse them twice a week and it becomes weaker and weaker where I have to put it back together like pieces to a puzzle.The seller was gracious enough to accept the return.

It looks exactly like the previous filter material it replaced. Seems to do a good job of filtering. I've discovered that if you leave extra material out too long the birds like to try and make nesting material from it

Fast delivery! Used in my pond to filter water before water fall feature. Easy to install!

Used this filter in a skimmer. It did catch some stuff but the white side started falling apart after a couple of cleanings. Was not as fine or tightly woven of a filter as I had hoped for.

Used once and fell apart. I am trying to get a refund now.
