Aqua One Wool Self Cut

Aqua One Filter Wool - Self-Cut Filter Pad (32 x 20 x 3cm)

Achieve superior water clarity and support a healthy aquarium environment with Aqua One Filter Wool. This versatile and essential filter media is designed to provide excellent mechanical filtration, effectively trapping fine particles and debris for sparkling clean water.

Aqua One Filter Wool acts as a vital first stage of filtration, expertly removing suspended waste, uneaten food, and other particulates from the water column. By catching these impurities, it prevents them from breaking down into harmful toxins and also protects your more specialized biological and chemical filter media from becoming prematurely clogged, ensuring their optimal performance.

The "self-cut" design of this filter wool makes it incredibly adaptable. With dimensions of 32 x 20 x 3cm, you can easily trim and shape it with standard scissors to fit virtually any aquarium filtration system. This includes hang-on filters, canister filters, internal filters, top filters, trickle/mini reef systems, and pond filters, offering a highly economical and customizable solution.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Excellent Mechanical Filtration: Effectively traps fine free-floating debris, waste, and particulates for visibly clearer water.
• Promotes Biological Health: Provides a surface area for beneficial nitrifying bacteria to colonize, contributing to the breakdown of waste.
• Customisable Fit: Easily cut to size to suit any filter compartment, maximizing contact with water and preventing bypass.
• Low Maintenance: Can be rinsed and reused multiple times, offering great value and reducing waste.
• Lightweight and Soft Design: Easy to handle, install, and clean.
• Protects Other Media: Prevents clogging of biological and chemical filter media, enhancing overall filter efficiency.
• Suitable for: Coldwater, Tropical Freshwater, and Marine (Saltwater) aquariums.

Specifications:

• Dimensions: 32 x 20 x 3cm

Usage & Maintenance:

• Rinse Before Use: Always rinse the filter wool thoroughly in aquarium water (not tap water, as chlorine can affect beneficial bacteria) until any dust subsides before placing it into your filter.
• Placement: Typically used as the first stage of mechanical filtration to capture the largest particles.
• Regular Cleaning/Replacement: For optimum filtration, it's recommended to clean or replace filter wool regularly, typically every 2-4 weeks, or as needed if flow reduces or the wool appears heavily soiled. This prevents trapped debris from decomposing and releasing toxins back into the water. You can often rinse and reuse the wool a few times before it needs full replacement.
