Aqua One Wool Pads for Ocellaris 400 143w – 2 pack

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.
