## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where do you get replacement pads? I can’t find them**
A: I am sorry to tell you. but you will find them hard to get as we discontinued the replacement pads in the past six months (timing varied by the pad).  The rationale was very few people ever replaced the pads which caused retailers to stop carrying them which of course led to us discontinuing when we ran out.

**Q: Does this work okay with a bowfront tank? I don't know if the curve of the glass would throw the magnet off or another detriment I am not foreseeing**
A: I am using a small magnet on a 70 gallon glass bow front.  I didn't think it would work, but after a little while the pad adjusted to the curve.  Use short strokes and it works great!

**Q: Replacement pad?**
A: You have to check with amazon or just by a new one

**Q: The instructions mentions a black cleaning pad for glass, but my package only came with the blue one? Is that normal?**
A: It should have came with 2 pads mine did
