Koi Pond Filter Rigid Pad Media - 3 Pack (12.5" x 12.5")

Does the job. Good value

I have had a garden pond since 1992. Over the years I have tried just about every kind of filter material I could find. I had just purchased a new Tetra 1000 GPH pump and wanted to find a very efficient filter material for the filter box. I purchased this product and the first thing I noted was that it is so dense/strong I could not cut it with a sharp pair of scissors. I had to use a utility knife with a new blade and a tee square to cut the shape(s) squarely. It turns out that this material is SO EFFICIENT I am having to clean it every 3-4 days because the muck it removes from the water clogs the material and my waterfall slows way down. Perhaps when the pond is VERY Clean I won't have to do the cleaning so often? I hope so!

Only had to trim the corners (with old fabric shears) to fit in bucket container we use for pond filter.

Excellent quality, washable, reusable. Highly recommend

Washable and long lasting

The reason I chose this filter material over other less expensive ones, was because the description said it was 1" thick. I paid more for the thickness. However, as you can see in the photo it is NOT 1" thick. It is 1/2 " thick and in some places along the edge even less thick than that. So they misrepresented their product by claiming it was twice as thick as it actually is. How hard can it be to measure your own product and give an honest description? I'm sure it will work okay, but I could have spent half as much and got another filter material with correct dimensions that would work equally as well.

This would be the equivalent of a large pore filter material. I made a filter box out of a milk crate using one roll of this, fits 6 sides perfectly, with the pump inside. Hose it down every 2weeks, the filters own pad stays almost perfectly clean! Seems to be holding up well in terms of not getting flat. Nice dark blue color. Made in USA - Yeah!

They are just as shown and do the job as intended.
