Where can I get cheap Eheim filter pads?

Poohbee · 08-31-2004, 12:20 AM

I'm looking for cheap white filter pads and maybe the blue filter pad too for my Eheim 2126 canister filter. My white filter pad is so bad and used that it is preventing the water from flowing optimally, in fact the water is so slow that the ball flow indicator is all the way to the bottom.

thanks for the link... But unfortunatelyy the "Best Buy" link no longer works or that person doesn't sell the foam anymore.

I ended up going to bob's site and went to aquaticeco and got some of the foam from there, good stuff. $32 for a 2' x 6' sheet of foam is going to make alot more of those coarse little pads than buying them individually. I just use filter floss to replicate the white pads.

As for the white pads, use quilt batting just cut to size.

okay I will try the quilt batting for the white pads.. the coarse blue pad looks like it is doing fine so far, but I will keep the links you guys provided in mind for any other material. Thank you.

Sorry my "Best Buy" link is no longer any good. Instead, go to eBay and search for "pond filter media". Several choices. This one seems quite good:

And this one is not an auction and prices are pretty good. Note these rolls are 2-inches thick!!!
