These bio filter balls for pond are also ideal as aquarium filter media bio balls in wet/dry filters. Our aquarium filter media bio balls work in freshwater and saltwater aquariums Ingredients polypropylene Directions Rinse bio balls with water.

Place bioballs in filter and filter pad Review: Works amazing - Amazed by the way these bioballs work I changed over from lava rock and there's no comparison these are amazing. Opened pond 3 days ago and was cloudy in 3 days its crystal clear. New filter media as well course pad, medium pad, and carbon pad and Microbe startup jel. Couldn't be happier with results. Initial cost a little pricy but to me well worth the money. Review: Works well - LOTS of balls! I actually took half out. Totally catches algae. I rinse them periodically . Put them in my waterfall container. Helps a LOT. Worth the $$ ## Features - OUTSTANDING FILTRATION! Each bio ball is covered in spines to dramatically increase the surface area of each ball to nearly 2 square feet providing space for a massive number of beneficial bacteria to colonize. These good bacteria break down harmful waste keeping your aquatic friends safe. You will receive approximately 300 1-1/2-inch bioballs in a ready to use black mesh zippered bag. Just rinse and use. - TOUGH AND UNIQUE! Our bio balls' spherical shape and precise spine placement permits them to pack tightly into any shape or filter type without losing surface area. Molded from high density plastic, these balls are lightweight but tough enough to keep their shape and will never degrade or wear out. Bio balls can be used loose or in the mesh bag with plastic zipper in which they are packaged. - SUPERIOR TO LAVA ROCK: Over time, porous lava rock becomes clogged with debris decreasing its surface area so that its ability to house and grow good beneficial bacteria plummets. Our pond bio balls' uniquely spaced spines allow most debris to pass right through them. Lava rock has tiny pores which make it difficult to clean while bio balls in most applications never need cleaning. A bag of wet lava rock is many times heavier than our pond balls. - EASY TO CLEAN - When organic waste builds up in the bioballs, they can be gently rinsed in dechlorinated wate to remove debris and refresh the bioballs. Use our FilterFIrst, dual density bonded filter pad, or water polishing pad to capture large particles before they can be trapped in the bioballs. - International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Pet Type | Amphibian, Fish and Aquatic | | Product Dimensions | 43.18 x 12.7 x 27.94 cm; 1.69 kg | | Item model number | PD-4560 | | Material Composition | polypropylene | | Fill material | polypropylene | | Colour | black | | Size | 300 Count with 14" x 20" Mesh Bag | | Number of Items | 1 | | Quantity | 300 | | Care Instructions | Rinse bio balls with water.

Opened pond 3 days ago and was cloudy in 3 days its crystal clear. New filter media as well course pad, medium pad, and carbon pad and Microbe startup jel. Couldn't be happier with results.

Put them in my waterfall container. Helps a LOT. Worth the $$ ### ⭐⭐⭐ Overly Expensive *by R***H on 27 April 2023* As is typical of pond equipment from Aquascape, it retails for a crazy pricing structure, and they don't even manufacture any of the products. They mostly originate from cheap Asian resources, and of course, you get what you pay for. In this case the Bia Balls does the job intended however, the quantity one gets for the price doesn't come close to be adequate for the typical volume of Bio Falls equipment. Won't be purchasing anymore stuff from Aquascape. ## Frequently Bought Together - Aquatic Experts Bio Balls Filter Media Bulk, 1.5 Inch Large Bio Balls for Pond & Aquarium Filters, Pond Filter Media for Outdoor Ponds, (300 Count with 14" x 20" Mesh Bag, 1.5 Inch) - Classic Koi Pond Filter Pad FINE - White Bulk Roll Pond Filter Media, Ultra-Durable Pond Filters for Outdoor Ponds, Reusable Fish Pond Filter Material, USA, Aquatic Experts (3/4" - 1" x 12" x 72") - Aquatic Experts Classic Koi Pond Filter Pad COARSE – Black Bulk Roll Pond Filter Media, Rigid Ultra-Durable Latex Coated Fish Pond Filter Material US, (3/4" - 1" x 12" x 72") --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/94230908-aquatic-experts-1-5-large-bio-balls-for-ponds-biological](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/94230908-aquatic-experts-1-5-large-bio-balls-for-ponds-biological) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-27*
