This is a genuine Eheim coarse foam replacement pad designed specifically for the Eheim 1260 and 1262 universal pumps. The porous material serves as a pre-filter, becoming evenly soaked with water to effectively trap both large and small dirt particles. This mechanical filtration prevents debris from entering the pump, protecting the impeller and extending the life of your equipment while helping to maintain water clarity.

Each package contains two coarse foam pads, ensuring you have a spare ready for your next maintenance session. The durable material is designed to be reusable many times over, offering excellent value. To clean, simply rinse and gently squeeze the foam in old aquarium water. This method effectively removes trapped debris without completely destroying the beneficial bacteria cultures that colonize the media, which are crucial for a stable aquatic environment.

This product is essential for any aquarist utilizing an Eheim 1260 or 1262 universal pump in their system. Whether you are performing routine maintenance or need to replace a worn-out sponge, having these genuine Eheim spares on hand is critical for maintaining optimal pump performance and reliability. It's a simple and effective way to safeguard your investment and ensure the continued health of your saltwater aquarium.
