Replacement filter foam sets for OASE BioTec ScreenMatic² 24000 pressurized pond filter. These high-quality foam pads provide multi-stage mechanical and biological filtration, trapping debris while supporting beneficial bacteria colonies that keep your pond water crystal clear.

Key Features:

  • Official OASE replacement foams designed specifically for BioTec ScreenMatic² 24000
  • Color-coded foam sets for easy identification and replacement
  • Multi-density foam design for optimal filtration efficiency
  • Provides both mechanical debris removal and biological filtration
  • Works with BioTec's automatic backwash cleaning system
  • Durable, long-lasting foam material

Why Replace Filter Foams:

  • Foams compress and break down over time from use and backwashing
  • Worn foams lose filtration effectiveness and water flow capacity
  • Fresh foams restore optimal filtration performance and water clarity
  • Regular replacement maintains healthy pond conditions
  • Recommended replacement: annually or when foams show significant wear

Three Foam Types Available:

Blue Filter Foams

Purple Filter Foams

Red Filter Foams

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many foam sets do I need to completely replace all foams in my BioTec 24000?
A: For a complete foam replacement in the BioTec ScreenMatic² 24000, you need a total of 14 sets: 2 sets of Blue foams, 6 sets of Purple foams, and 6 sets of Red foams. The color-coded system makes it easy to identify which foams go where in your filter. Each color serves a specific filtration purpose in the multi-stage system, which is why different quantities are needed.

Q: Can I replace just one color of foam instead of all of them?
A: While you can replace individual foam colors if only certain ones are damaged, it's best to replace all foams at the same time for optimal performance. The different colored foams work together as a multi-stage filtration system, each serving a specific purpose (coarse filtration, fine filtration, and biological filtration). If some foams are old while others are new, filtration efficiency won't be optimal. Plus, if one set is worn out, the others are likely close behind since they've all been in use for the same amount of time. Replacing all 14 sets ensures consistent, peak performance.

Q: How often should I replace my BioTec ScreenMatic² 24000 filter foams?
A: OASE recommends replacing filter foams annually, typically at the start of the pond season in spring. However, the BioTec's automatic backwash cleaning system extends foam life compared to manual-clean filters. Replacement frequency depends on your pond conditions—heavily stocked koi ponds or ponds with lots of debris may need replacement sooner. Signs that foams need replacing include: foams becoming compressed and not expanding after backwashing, reduced water flow through the filter, difficulty maintaining clear water, or visible deterioration and crumbling. The ScreenMatic² system makes backwashing easy with the push of a button, but eventually all foams need replacement for optimal performance.
