Fluval Pre-Filter is designed to capture solid waste particles before they reach other media. This prevents the premature clogging of finer filters and extends their life, reducing the frequency of replacing media.

Specifications

Item: A1470

Size: 26.45 oz / 750 g

Type: mechanical and chemical filter medium, medium and coarse grade

Function: captures solid waste before it reaches the finer media

Compatibility: all canister filters

Setup & Use

It goes in first — the stage the water reaches before anything else. That is the whole point of it: it catches solid waste so the finer media behind it do not clog.

Rinse it in old tank water whenever the flow drops off. Because it takes the mechanical load, everything downstream lasts noticeably longer and gets replaced less often.

Freshness & Storage

Every batch we dispatch carries a minimum of 6 months’ remaining shelf life. Store this product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, with the cap or inner foil closed tightly after each use.

Filter media and substrates carry no manufacturing or expiry date — their working life begins on first contact with water, not on the shelf.

Returns & Replacement

Returns are accepted within 7 days of delivery, provided the item is unused and in its original packaging. Manufacturer-sealed items cannot be returned once the seal is broken, and sale-priced items are not refundable.
