## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the ppi (pores per inch)?**
A: This material is a coarse non woven filter pad designed to filter out larger particles and debris... PPI is a characteristic of reticulated foam which this item is not.  We will be adding reticulated foam in the future.

**Q: Is this made of fabric or sponge?**
A: As best I can tell, It is made out of some sort of plastic or polystyrene.  The texture is like a coarse sponge.  I use it in conjunction with a fine filter media in my large pond filter, and it does a decent job of catching any large particles that get through the pond punp.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Good Quality
  

*by F***S on Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2023*

Great to use in our pond filtration.  Sturdy, good quality.  Our pond filtration has four chambers where the water is filtered through so the filters will help the filtration.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Excellent filter material
  

*by E***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2021*

This stuff is excellent for canister or hang on back filtering. It wont clog like the finer stuff, and it allows plenty of beneficial bacteria to colonize in it. It's a bit of a challenge to trim to fit with regular scissors, but not impossible. You will need thinner pads for some hang on back filters. The biggest ones you have will be needed. I havent come up with a better way to cut it yet. And tiny pcs. will fall as you cut, so cut it over a trashcan or newspaper. I rinsed mine good after cutting.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Will buy again.

So far, so good.  Using in Ehiem Filters, with sponge filter pads, for turtle tubs.
