Filter Material

I am looking for a coarse material to use as the first stage in
my pond filters.
I have found a aspen fiber mat used in evaporative coolers from
dial mfg. Product Num 3003. Sold at Lowes.

The URL to the tech hazard data sheet is at.

http://www.dialmfg.com/Technical%20A...MSDS/Aspen.htm

If I read it right it is just a fiber mat in a nylon net cover.
There is some glue (looks like a hot melt) that closes the net
cover on the ends. It could be cut off.

The pad is 24 by 30 inches and costs about $3.

Will it work. Any suggested alternatives.

Check out your local Home Depot for a product called "Cobra vent".
It comes in 11.8"(299mm) wide X 20'(6.1m)long X .75"(19mm)thick roll.
It is a non woven matrix of polyester fibers bonded together.
I have used it in all of my filters and pumps, for a year now, with no
side effects. It is really stiff and easily washes out.

Smoe info on the product:

In what dept. would this Cobra Vent be found?

I picked up a white filter product intended for furnaces that looks a little
like quilt batting. However it says on the package that it has been treated
with a microbial to inhibit microbe growth. Since I wanted to put it at the
top of my lava filter I am concerned that it will kill the beneficial
bacteria there. If I wash it will that help or should I just forget it?

Thanks,
Heather

I believe that is fiberglass, but I could be wrong.

I think what Ingrid is talking about is the stuff I was looking for.
The problem is I was looking at the home centers and it lives at Wally
WORLD.

It is not the common blue fiberglass filters that most furnaces use.
It is a much heavier and perhaps more open matt. The fibers are encased
in a fiberglass net with about 1/4 inch between threads.

It is faily good a pick up larger particles and extends the life of the
poly batting that I use under it.

I would be more worried about it killing fish.

Go to the crafts section and pick up some of the polyester batting used
to make quilts. The brand I have been using is Create-A-Craft. Most
possibly from Wally WORLD.
