EHEIM Filter Cartridge Replacement For Pickup 160 (2 Pieces) (EM2617100)
Filter cartridges (2 pieces) for mechanical / biological filtration for internal filter pickup 160 (type 2010)
In the porous foam, dirt particles are held. At the same time, the material provides a large populating surface for cleaning bacteria. Even after a short running-in period, the foam cartridges provide not only for mechanical water clarification but also for biological pollutant removal.
The cartridges can be used several times. For cleaning, you should only rinse and express them so that the bacterial cultures are not completely destroyed.

The filter cartridges work well with my EHEIM Pickup 160. Water clarity improved after a few weeks. I rinse them every two weeks and haven’t had to replace them yet. The foam holds debris effectively and the biological filtration helps keep the water clean.

Good quality replacement for my old filter. The foam is durable and the bacteria build-up is noticeable after a few days. I only rinse them, not soak them, to keep the biological function intact.

I’ve used these for over three months now and they still perform well. The mechanical filtration catches fine particles, and the water stays clear without needing frequent changes.
