Fluval U3 Foam Insert 2 Pack — Replacement pads for Fluval U3 Internal Filter
The Fluval U3 Foam Insert 2 Pack (SKU: PF133a) provides two factory-original mechanical filter replacement pads crafted specifically for the Fluval U3 Internal Filter. These high-density foam inserts serve as the primary mechanical defence within the filter housing, capturing floating organic debris, uneaten food, and particulates to maintain pristine water conditions.
The structured pore layout guarantees consistent water distribution throughout the filter body while establishing an ideal substrate for biological nitrifying bacteria.
