Aqua One Wool Pads for Ocellaris 400 143w - 2 pack
A pack of two 143w fine polymer wool filter pads to suit the Aqua One Ocellaris 400 external filter. The 143w wool pad should be changed every four to six weeks for a new pad. The fine Polymer wool material used is not washable and should be thrown away after a single period of use.
Function -143w
The Aqua One 143w Polymer wool filter pad is designed solely to fit the new Ocellaris 400 compact external canister filter. The 143w acts as the final stage in the filtration process and removes and fine remaining particles of waste by trapping them between the fine fibres.
Effect on Flow Rate
Because the 143w is constructed from such fine polymer fibres it will reduce the flow rate of your Ocellaris 400 when blocked and dirty. Reduced filter flow rate can be catastrophic for aquarium water quality. The solution is thankfully simple – just replace the 143w as required.
Lifespan
The 143w is a ‘one-shot’ disposable polymer filter pad and should be discarded every four to six weeks. The polymer fibres compress and make effective rinsing impossible. Don’t attempt to wash the 413w out as this will only reduce the flowrate and lifespan of your Ocellaris 400.
Pack size.
Two 143w are provided per pack. Making a pack last between two and three months. Heavily stocked aquariums may shorten this life span – do what is required to keep you Aqua One Ocellaris 400 filtering at a good pace.
Use With
The Aqua One 143w Polymer Wool Pad works best with the Aqua One 143s sponge pad and, of course, Aqua One’s Bionoodles 600g.
