Rollermat - roll widths

[LobsterOfJustice]

I have an original model Theiling Rollermat. Nobody in the US carries the replacement rolls anymore. I know there are a lot of other brands of fleece roller filters these days. The width of the Rollermat roll is about 6.25" - do any other brands use rolls this width which I may be able to use with my Rollermat?

Theiling is 6.25, Try the aquamaxx ones, they may work. I used to use a theiling, parts support was crapola and that was almost 10 years ago.

Try Preconfilter
they can cut to any size.

With a little rigging I successfully used a ClariSea SK-5000XL Replacement Fleece Roll on mine. The cardboard core has a slightly smaller diameter than the Theiling one so I cut 2 wooden disks that fit the core, then drilled holes through those and stuck a 3/4 inch piece of pvc pipe through that. It's a little janky but it works. Would be almost perfect if you have access to a 3d printer to make new hubs. The Clarisea fleece is also slightly narrower than the Theiling, by like 1/8 of an inch or so, but it worked out.

OP, did you have any success with this? I have a brand new theiling filter roller in the box but didn't want to waste time setting it up and getting reliant if I can't find a replacement setup
