Aqua One Ocellaris 3000/UVC Wool Pad 2 Pack 141W
A pack of two 141w fine polymer wool filter pads to suit the Aqua One Ocellaris 3000 and Ocellaris 3000UV external filters.
The 141w wool pad should be changed every four to six weeks for a new pad. The fine Polymer wool material used is not washable and should be thrown away after a single period of use
Function
The Aqua One 139w Polymer wool filter pad is designed solely to fit the Ocellaris 1400 and 1400UV external canister filter. The 139w 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 141w is constructed from such fine polymer fibres it will reduce the flow rate of your Ocellaris 3000 or 3000UV when blocked and dirty. Reduced filter flow rate can be catastrophic for aquarium water quality. The solution is thankfully simple – just replace the 141w as required.
Lifespan
The 141w 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 139w out as this will only reduce the flowrate and lifespan of your Ocellaris 3000 or 3000UV
Pack size.
Two 141w 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 3000 or 3000UV filtering at a good pace.
Use With
The Aqua One 141w Polymer Wool Pad works best with the Aqua One Blue sponge pad, Aqua One Black sponge pad and, of course, Aqua One’s Bionoodles The addition of a bag of Aqua One’s Advance Carbon will really help to clarify and polish your aquarium water.
