USE & PLACEMENT

RINSE: Rinse the empty bag before first use.
LOAD: Fill the bag about one-half to two-thirds with suitable coarse media.
CLOSE: Close the plastic zipper before placing the bag in the filter route.
PLACE: Use in a canister, sump, HOB or internal filter, or in a suitable media basket.
FLOW: Avoid overfilling so water can continue to pass through the bag and contained media.
CLEAN: Rinse the bag during routine filter maintenance.

FUNCTION & LIMITS

CONTAINMENT ROLE: The coarse mesh keeps suitable loose filter media together and easier to remove for servicing.
FLOW-THROUGH ROLE: The mesh allows water to pass through when the bag is loaded without overpacking.
LIMIT: The bag itself does not biologically filter, chemically treat, remove ammonia or clarify water; those functions depend on the separately chosen media.

CARE / REPLACE / REUSE

REUSE: Rinse the bag during routine filter maintenance and reuse it.
REPLACEMENT: No fixed lifespan or replacement interval is claimed for the bag or zipper.
