When should pond filter foam be replaced?

Foam should not be replaced merely because it looks stained. Mature media normally discolours and supports useful bacteria. Replace it when its structure is breaking down, it no longer springs back after cleaning, channels have formed through it or flow remains restricted after a careful rinse.

How to change the media without stripping the filter biology

1. Switch off and safely isolate the pump and UVC.
2. Open the filter according to its instructions and note the order of every foam layer.
3. If the old media is still serviceable in part, avoid replacing every biological surface at the same time.
4. Rinse the new foam in pond water if required, refit it in the correct sequence and check seals and clamps.
5. Restart the filter, check for leaks or overflow and monitor ammonia and nitrite while the replacement media matures.
