Low Density BLACK Matala Filter Media

Due to it's strong sturdy design, it's great as a support for all other media densities. Great for use in a pond filter settling chamber where the it can slow down and trap algae and large particulate matter. You can use a hose to wash off Green or Black filter media, the dirt and muck will fall right off.

Medium Density GREEN Matala Filter Media

The Green Filter Media traps a medium size particle. Really easy to clean, just shake out the pieces before draining the filters sump. Use a garden hose to wash clean.

High Density BLUE Matala Filter Media

The Blue filter media will filter out a smaller particulates and maintain an excellent flow. In larger pond filter systems all four types can be used in sequence to essentially remove all solids.

Super High Density GREY Matala Filter Media

Grey Filter media will filter the smallest particles and maintain flow

Best Practice

The best situation for Matala Filter Media is if it is standing up in a vertical position rather than laying flat. It allows for better flow, and is a bit easier to clean. Try to stagger the Filter media vertically with varied filter media densities to achieve the most optimal removal of particles. Try using a Green next to a Grey which will give good flow around the Grey media yet trap solids in the Green one.
