Half Sheet – Matala

Product details

Half Sheet – Matala is a low-density black Matala® filter media sheet cut to a 24" x 39" x 1.5" size. It’s designed as an open, self-supporting mat for mechanical/solids filtration, especially as a sturdy grate or prefilter layer that helps catch larger debris while maintaining good flow through the filter.

Features:

• Sturdy, open design helps support other layers of filter media.
• Commonly used as a large-particle-size solids filter.
• A single 1.5" layer can help trap larger debris such as leaves, large clumps of algae, cigarette butts, seed pods, and similar solids.
• Using multiple layers improves progressive particle capture, trapping smaller items without relying on tight passages that clog quickly.
• Useful in settling chambers and prefilter setups to slow down flow while retaining hair algae and other larger particles.
• Matala can be sprayed clean with a garden hose for solids filtering, and debris typically rinses away easily.
• Often used in multi-layer filter tank designs as a prefilter, where essentially only very fine dust passes through.
