2. Package Contents

Each package typically includes:

• 2 x High-density yellow sponges (for fine filtering)
• 2 x Low-density blue sponges (for coarse filtering)

3. Setup and Installation

3.1 Important Pre-Installation Note

The pond filter pads may arrive vacuum-compressed, appearing thinner than their intended size. Before use, it is essential to:

1. Open the package.
2. Soak the filter pads in clean water for 5-10 minutes. This allows the sponge material to expand and restore its original thickness, ensuring optimal filtration effectiveness.

3.2 Installing the Filter Pads

Follow these steps to install the replacement pads into your pond filter system:

1. Ensure your pond filter unit is turned off and disconnected from power.
2. Open the filter housing according to your specific pond filter model's instructions.
3. Remove any old or worn-out filter pads.
4. Carefully insert the new Kscjdg filter pads into the designated slots or compartments within the filter. Typically, the coarse blue sponges are placed first to capture larger debris, followed by the finer yellow sponges.
5. Ensure the pads are seated correctly and form a tight seal to prevent water bypass.
6. Close the filter housing securely.
7. Reconnect power and restart your pond filter system.

4. Operating Principle

The Kscjdg pond filter pads utilize a double-layer filtration structure to ensure comprehensive water purification:

• Coarse Filtration (Blue Sponges): The low-density blue sponges are designed to capture larger impurities, debris, and suspended matter from the pond water.
• Fine Filtration (Yellow Sponges): The high-density yellow sponges then filter out finer particles, food residue, and smaller impurities, contributing to crystal clear water.

This dual-stage process effectively removes contaminants, prolongs the life of your pond pump filter, and reduces the frequency of overall system maintenance.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your filter pads is crucial for optimal pond health and filter longevity.

5.1 Cleaning the Filter Pads

• It is recommended to clean the pond sponge filter pads every 2 months. This frequency may need adjustment based on your pond's water flow and debris load.
• To clean, remove the pads from the filter unit and rinse them thoroughly with pond water (not chlorinated tap water) to preserve beneficial bacteria. Gently squeeze the pads to remove accumulated debris.

5.2 Replacing the Filter Pads

• For sustained high filtration performance, replace the pond filter mats once every 6-12 months. The exact replacement interval depends on usage, water quality, and cleaning frequency.
• Replace pads when they show signs of significant wear, degradation, or if cleaning no longer restores their effectiveness.

6. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with pond water clarity after installing new filter pads, consider the following:

• Pads not expanding: Ensure the pads were soaked for the recommended 5-10 minutes before installation.
• Reduced water flow: Check if the pads are correctly seated and not obstructing water pathways. Ensure the filter unit itself is not clogged.
• Water remains cloudy: Verify that the filter pads are installed in the correct order (coarse before fine). If the issue persists, the pond may require additional biological filtration or water treatments beyond mechanical filtration.
• Frequent clogging: Increase the frequency of cleaning the filter pads. Consider if your pond is overstocked or if there's excessive organic matter.
