safety & precautions
This product is not intended for human or animal consumption. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Designed exclusively for use in freshwater and saltwater aquariums or ponds.
Regularly check water parameters (phosphate, ammonia, nitrate, etc.) to ensure the pad is effective and to prevent any sudden changes in water chemistry.
Do not stack multiple pads unless recommended, as excessive phosphate removal could disrupt the biological balance of your aquarium or pond.
Replace the pad according to manufacturer recommendations or when its effectiveness declines (typically when phosphate levels rise again).
Wash hands after handling the pad, especially if you have sensitive skin or allergies to synthetic materials.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
The pad can be cut to fit most filter types, including hang-on, canister, top, internal, and wet/dry filters.
Insert the pad into your filtration unit, ensuring a snug fit for optimal filtration and preventing bypass.
