Anyone using washable filter foam in their sump ?

[Idech]

I think it would be cheaper than buying filter floss. I didn’t want to have to wash socks, but foam is okay for me.

Any brand you like if you’re using it ?


I found this on Amazon.

I can’t see my own link to Amazon. Let me know if you can.

Before filter Sox some of the trickle filters had foam blocks for mechanical filtration. I think they use open cell foam (vs closed cell) and I can’t see the link on my phone

Thanks, here is a picture. I don’t know why I can’t post or see stupid Amazon links.

Koi pond media is the right stuff, unless it’s junk and the reviews of the product should provide some insight, but I think it’s what you want for a pre filter.

My Ruby Trigger System, has one. It’s probably to keep course debris out of my Pump Chamber and as a Bubble eliminator. Found out to never use bleach on them, to lengthen their life.

Any link to this product ?

The one I bought was too coarse and stopped the water flow normally flowing.

aquacave dot com I was a bit PO’d at them though. Ordered Four, they only had two. Charge me for shipping, then took their time refunding me for the two. BTW, they have different sizes of the foam.
