bioPad - Filt e r Wool (whit e pad)
The white filter wool acts as a mechanical pre-filter, removing large particles of dirt and
excess food which in turn ensures that the other sponges do not get clogged.
bioCarb - Act ive Carbon S ponge (black)
The black activated carbon sponge sits on top of the blue coarse filter sponges, and
removes chemical impurities from the water which cannot be removed biologically.
Nit rax - Nit rat e Re moval S ponge (gre e n)
The Sponge contains micro-organisms, which will, once developed, reside inside the
sponges and in the water. These micro-organisms feed of nitrates and will reduce them
significantly. The JUWEL Filtration system provides the optimum housing for these micro-
organisms.
bioPlus coarse - Filt e r S ponge Coarse (blue )
The coarse blue filter sponges allow bacteria cultures to develop quickly, cleaning the
water which is now free from chemical impurities.
bioPlus fine - Filt e r S ponge Fine (blue )
The fine blue sponges and the bacteria cultures living in them, clean the water of even
the smallest impurities.
