Eheim Professional 3 Filter Set (250/250T/350/350T/e350/600)

Product Details

The Eheim Filter Pad Set Professional 3 is designed to enhance the filtration performance of Eheim Professional 3 and Professional 3e external canister filters. This filter pad set includes both blue and white filter pads that serve different filtration functions to maintain a clean and clear aquarium environment. Here's a breakdown of the key features and functions of this filter pad set:

Key Features:

1. Blue Pre-Filtration Pad: The blue pre-filtration pad serves as the first line of defense in the filtration process. It is designed to trap larger particles of dirt and debris from the incoming water before it enters the main filter baskets. This initial pre-filtration step helps extend the lifespan of the other filter media and reduces the frequency of maintenance. By removing larger particles early in the process, it contributes to overall filter efficiency and performance.

2. White Polishing Filter Pads: The set includes four white polishing filter pads that provide fine filtration. These pads are responsible for capturing fine dirt particles, impurities, and suspended debris in the aquarium water. As the water passes through the white filter pads, it undergoes a final polishing process, resulting in crystal-clear water conditions. However, due to their finer filtration capability, these white pads tend to clog up more quickly and require regular replacement.

Usage Instructions:

• The Eheim Filter Pad Set Professional 3 is compatible with Eheim Professional 3 models, specifically the 250, 350, 600, and Professional 3e 350. Ensure that your filter model matches the compatibility list.

• To use the filter pads, open the canister filter and access the filter baskets. The blue pre-filtration pad should be placed in the upper pre-filter section, where it can capture larger particles.

• The white polishing filter pads can be positioned in the filter baskets to provide the final stage of filtration. These pads should be placed in a way that allows the water to flow through them before returning to the aquarium.

• Regularly monitor the condition of the filter pads during routine maintenance. As the white polishing pads become clogged with debris, they should be replaced to maintain optimal water clarity.

• The frequency of replacement may vary depending on the aquarium's stocking level and the amount of debris generated. Visual inspection and water quality testing can help determine when it's time to replace the pads.

• When replacing the filter pads, it's essential to use compatible Eheim filter media to ensure proper fit and function.

Maintenance Note:

• Maintaining clean and efficient filter media is crucial for the overall health and clarity of your aquarium water. Regularly replacing the white polishing filter pads as needed will help keep your aquarium looking its best.

• Be sure to follow manufacturer recommendations for cleaning and maintenance of your Eheim canister filter.
