## Description

Our FilterFirst Premium Filter Pads Help Keep Aquariums Clean and Healthy Place our dual action filter pad in flowing water with the open weave side up to trap uneaten food, waste, decaying plants, detritus, and other large and fine floating particulates from the water. Changing filter pads regularly will increase water quality by removing solid organic compounds before they continue to break down and add additional nutrients to the water in your fish tank. Made Of Pads are constructed of durable polyester fibers bonded by our special resin to give the media exceptional strength. Directions Place Classic Bonded Filter Pads directly in your aquarium filter from our bag or, if you prefer, rinse the pad first in clean fresh water. The water should flow through the open or looser fiber side of our premium pad first so that larger debris is trapped before entering the tight weaved lower section of the pad. Tip Since pads need to be replaced on a regular basis, a cardboard template can be made of the filter pad you are replacing. Keep and use this template whenever you need to cut out new filter pads.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Which side of your Premium Filter Pad should the water go through first?**
A: The water should flow through the open or looser fiber side of our premium pad first. This will allow the larger debris to be  trapped before entering the tight weaved lower section of the pad.

**Q: How often should I change my aquarium filter pad?**
A: Rinse the filter pad every two weeks and replace them monthly during a water change. The more often you change filter pads the better your water quality; filter pads remove organic solids before they have a chance to further break down.

**Q: What is the best way to use your FilterFirst filter pad and your 100 micron Polishing Pad together?**
A: Your aquarium water should flow first through the FilterFirst pad to remove small to large particles from the water, then through the polishing pad to remove fine particles. This layering method will increase the useful life of your polishing pad.

**Q: I am using your Dual Density filter pad in my canister filter. What is the easiest way to make these shapes?**
A: Take your original filter pad which came with the canister filter and cut out a piece of card board the exact size and shape. Now put the cardboard on our FilterFirst roll, use a pair of scissors and cut around the cardboard template.

**Q: Would I need to remove FilterFirst filter pad from my filter when medicating fish?**
A: No, you do not need to remove our Premium filter pad when medicating your fish. Our filter pad does not remove any medication or other chemicals from the water. The pad only traps debris floating in the water.
