Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How often should I replace my Filtral filter foams?
A: OASE recommends replacing filter foams annually, typically at the start of the pond season in spring. However, replacement frequency depends on your pond conditions—heavily stocked ponds or ponds with lots of debris may need replacement more often. Signs that foams need replacing include: foams falling apart or crumbling, reduced water flow through the filter, difficulty getting water clear even after cleaning, or visible deterioration from UV exposure. Regular rinsing extends foam life, but eventually all foams need replacement.
Q: Can I just replace one foam instead of the whole set?
A: While you can replace individual foams if only one is damaged, it's best to replace the complete set at the same time. The foams work together as a multi-stage filtration system, and if some are old while others are new, filtration efficiency won't be optimal. Plus, if one foam is worn out, the others are likely close behind. Replacing the complete set ensures consistent filtration performance and is more cost-effective in the long run.
Q: How do I know which foam set I need for my Filtral filter?
A: Check your Filtral filter model number, which is usually on a label on the filter unit. The three models are Filtral 400, Filtral 800, and Filtral 1600. Once you know your model, select the corresponding foam set: #76983 for Filtral 400, #76984 for Filtral 800, or #76985 for Filtral 1600. The foam sets are not interchangeable between models, so it's important to get the correct one. If you're unsure of your model, measure your filter dimensions or contact us with a photo of your filter.
