Filter Media Sheets are
available in four densities,
with each density serving
a different filtration
purpose and providing
state of the art,
progressive filtration
when used together.
The unique 3D matrix
design of this filter media
slows the velocity of the
water and allows solid
waste to settle. This is
what makes the filter
media so efficient and
clog resistant.
Black, low density filter media effectively removes large organic particles such
as leaves, clumps of algae, seed pods.
Green, medium density filter media processes mid sized organic particles.
Blue, high density media takes care of filtering out small organic particles.
Grey, super high density media removes the smallest particles.
This progressive system allows for maximum filtration efficiency and reduces
maintenance requirements as all densities work together to create a cohesive
environment where they will remain highly resistant to clogging when used correctly.
Matala Filter Media Sheets are used
within the Biosteps 10 Biological Pond
Filter so these filters don't clog like foam
filters do. That means less maintenance
and easy cleaning. For larger ponds, the
Koi Clear Vortex Biological Pond Filter
uses super thick coils of Matala Filter
Media. Both these filters are modular so
you can use more than one if your pond
needs it or add more later as your fish
breed and grow.
If you've already got a pond filter that isn't
working well, you can improve it by adding
some Matala as the sheets can be easily
cut to size to replace worn out foam.
Matala’s powerful filtration media is also used in the Aqua2use
Greywater Diversion Devices. Each layer of media removes
more debris leaving you with a finished
result that is perfect for irrigating your
garden and lawn.
Crafted from Green Medium Density
Matala Filtration Media, Pump
Defenders are designed for use with
submersible pumps and can increase
their lifespan. Pump Defenders help
prevent large debris from damaging the
pump and allow fine particles to pass
through without clogging. This prevents
the pump from overworking, decreases
maintenance and increases its
lifespan. What a great, low cost
investment to protect your pump.
The Matala Mini Fall comes pre-loaded with a
sheet of medium density, Green Filter Media.
The Mini Fall is a simple way to add a waterfall to your pond and the
included media filters out materials that you wouldn’t want flowing through.
Another great use for Matala Premium Filter
Media is pre-filtration. EzBio Prefilters attach to
the intake side of submersible pumps. They can
be attached directly to the pump or connected
with a hose or pipe. That means you can have
the filter at the edge of the pond so it's easy to
clean. EzBio Prefilters prevent clogging, reduce
maintenance, extend the life of your pump while
giving the pond a biological filtration boost.
Matala Filter Media Sheets can make great grow beds for plants, fruit, vegetables and flowers. They can provide useful growing media for ponds, dams, hydroponics or aquaponics systems.
Filter Media Sheets are a great way to
improve the safety of fish eggs and fry.
The eggs will stick to the media, therefore
helping reduce the risk of them being eaten,
and fish fry can hide between the fibres if a bigger
fish is intent on harming them.

Media measure 60cm x 100cm x 3.8cm.

In Sept '17 I installed a 'Blagdon 14000' water filtration system into my 50000 litre fish pond first filled and stocked with about 50 Comet goldfish the year before. After introducing the fish - with no
filter, but with an aerator, the water slowly turned an undesirable shade of green.
So, the Blagdon was installed, running 24/7 and over the next two years did a fair job of keeping the water
reasonably clean - not 'clear', but clean. During summers the soft foam filters were removed and
hosed clean every 5 - 7 days. Over winter it was every 14-21 days.
Around Oct '19 the foam filters were falling apart and needed replacing, but none were available. Looking for alternative filter media I discovered
Matala sold by Love My Pond. I bought a half sheet each of blue (fine) and green (medium), easily cut them to the required sizes and put them in place.
By Xmas the pond water was noticeably clearer and by January looked clean enough to drink! I am very
pleased with Matala filter media.

While I’m sure this Matala Filter Media is a great addition to your filter system and supports the bioload to keep the pond in balance, I can’t really comment on that. What I can say though is if you are looking for an inert reticulated PE-based media to slice up and install into your DIY vertical hydroponic towers then you, like I, can stop your search here.
My delicious greens needed something that their delicate roots could weave their way into, that the nutrient solution could filter through, and that could be made to fit inside a bit of down pipe. I scoured the depths of the internet searching for something, anything that would have my balcony towers ready for the 2020 salad season. Amazon, eBay, even Alibaba – nope. Even the bloke at the local foam shop told me that there wasn’t a product in the market like it.
Well suffice it to say that when I came to lovemypond browsing pumps and fittings I was moved when I saw the photo of that squiggly black plastic spaghetti sheet. I mean not quite to tears, but it was an emotional moment. I had to buy it.
I’ve had the black Matala in my towers since September and my first round of greens were delicious. Flow through the media is excellent, and it is flexible enough that you can sandwich two slices into a pipe. Plants root well in the media and I think it will be easily cleaned for the following season with the high pressure sprayer.
Thanks lovemypond for selling and shipping.
