R-Matala 22-in. dia. x 6-in. thick

Product details

R-Matala 22-in. dia. x 6-in. thick is a coiled, pre-cut Matala filter media cartridge designed as a “drop in” replacement style media for Vortex filters and barrel filters. You choose the roll diameter and the density needed for your round tank, then drop it into the filter chamber. Because it is coiled and pre-cut, it is not intended to be un-rolled, and it is designed to wedge in place when it fits the tank snugly. In upflow filter designs, R-Matala can be layered to handle both solids removal and biological filtration using different densities in sequence (e.g., solids-capturing layers below finer polishing/biological layers).

Features:

• Coiled pre-cut Matala media cartridge for round tank filter chambers
• Works in upflow filter designs and can be stratified in sequential layers
• Naturally wedges in place when ordered for a tight fit to your tank’s inside diameter
• Black/Green densities are intended to capture larger and medium particles, respectively (general guidance)
• Blue and Gray densities are intended for smaller particle capture and high surface-area biological filtration (general guidance)
• Cleaning can be done by top-down flushing with pond water; in some systems you may need to remove layers to inspect or unclog the bottom coil
