Eheim Professional 3e Filter Pad Set
Replacement foam set for the Eheim Professional 3e 450, 700 and 600T
4x Fine and 1x Coarse filter pads for mechanical and biological filtration.
The porous material becomes evenly soaked with water and traps large and small dirt particles. After a start-up period, purification bacteria, which provide biological decomposition of harmful substances, populate the specially structured foam.
The fine and coarse filter pads are reusable many times over. To clean them simply rinse in aquarium water and squeeze out, so that the bacteria cultures are not completely destroyed.

FAQ
How often should I replace the filter pads?
The filter pads can be reused multiple times. Clean them by rinsing in aquarium water and squeezing out. Replace only when the pads show significant wear or reduced filtration efficiency.
Can I use these pads with other Eheim filter models?
These pads are specifically designed for the Eheim Professional 3e 450, 700, and 600T models. They are not compatible with other filter types.
Do the pads need to be soaked before first use?
No soaking is required. The pads will become effective after a start-up period during which bacteria colonize the foam structure.

The filter pads work well with my Pro 3e 600T. I’ve used them for over six months and haven’t had to replace them yet. Cleaning is easy—just rinse in tank water and squeeze. The tank stays clear and the water quality is stable.

Good filtration performance. The fine pads catch small debris well, and the coarse one handles larger particles. I clean them every two weeks and they still perform well after several cycles.

Excellent value. The pads are durable and maintain water clarity over time. I appreciate that they support bacterial growth without needing to replace them frequently.
