The filter pads work well with my Eheim Pro 3. Water flow is steady and the tank stays cleaner. I’ve used them for three months and haven’t noticed any clogging. The filtration is effective for both debris and fine particles.

I replaced the old pads with these and noticed a difference in water clarity. The filter runs smoothly and the tank feels more stable. A bit more expensive than generic options, but worth it for performance.

After switching to these pads, my fish are more active and the water looks clearer. The foam structure holds up well and doesn’t break down easily. Easy to install and fits perfectly.
