Fluval U3 Underwater Filter Poly/Carbon

Item installed easy and works great.

Work great, like advertise. I just wish there was a better indicator when to change the filters.

Best way to buy these supplies!

Definitely a need if you own a Fluval U3 Filter.

they flake too easily, do not last more than 2 washes

Turtles are messy critters, especially if you feed them a varied diet with some plants. Differently, give a turtle a live feeder fish, and its gone in seconds without a trace. However, turtles need plants in order to be healthy, despite the mess. Roughly, half of the plant they will eat, and the other half they will rip to shreds! This makes it such that turtles need a foam filter to catch the larger particles, which in this case are stirred up by the Fluval U3 water jet for easier collection via the Fluval U3 holster. Without Filter Foam Pads and a Fluval Underwater Filter, it is difficult to be vigilant to get waste particles siphoned. It is such that in my experience more waste particles will settle bottom of a tank without Fluval Underwater filtration. What is great about these pads is that they can be washed and reused many many times. They dont need replacing every time, just cleaning. I rinse them until they come clean when I siphon/clean the tank.

Pricey for what they are but they get the job done.

This review is for the foam pad component to the Fluval U3 reptile filter. We have had an aquatic turtle for aost 21 years. We have tried other filters and were quite happy with them. When they went out of business, we decided to try Fluval U3; we are beyond delighted with this system. The water is always clear, no algae, no smell, and it is quiet. Highly recommend Fluval U3; and its components of which this foam pad is one. Of

Sent U4 filter, did not check out box til today when I went to clean tank. Nice, wrong filters. So for a U4 filter they would have worked great.

Ive used these filters for years on my aquarium. I used to pay so much more when I bought them at the pet store. Now I cant even find them in the pet store. So glad I found a reasonably priced source.
