Product information

Clean and healthy water
Plant and food remains and metabolic substances lead to a deterioration of the quality of the water in the aquarium. Good water quality is necessary for healthy fish and plants. This can be achieved with various filters and filter materials. The filters suck in the aquarium water and remove the pollution and waste materials with the filter material from the water.

Easy to use
Cut filter floss pad to a size which is about 1 – 2 mm larger than the relevant cross section and put it as the last filter stage into the filter. Avoid gaps between the inner wall and filter. Fine filter material, such as filter wool or filter fleece always needs to be put as last filter material into the external filter so that the filter material, inserted in front of it, can carry out a pre-filtering and the wool wouldn’t get clogged too fast. Notice that filter wool is always the finest filtering.

Can be used without fear of side effects
No release of pollutants into the aquarium thanks to neutral microfibre floss.

FAQ
Can filter floss or filter fleece be washed out and used several times?

Filter floss (such as JBL Symec) and in particular filter fleeces, such as JBL Symec VL and micro, are suitable for ultra-fine filtering of fine to micro-fine cloudiness in water. The material is generally only used for 24 hours and then removed again. It is a disposable filter material. It becomes very clogged and thus restricts the flow of water. Washing it would not really work and would further pollute the water, as the substances collected in the filter would decompose in the water. By using it for a short time and removing it quickly, you’ll not only have clear water, but you’ll also have the unwanted particles, which in turn contain nutrients, removed from the water.

Ich liebe es! Innerhalb weniger Tage habe ich aus einem sehr trüben Becken ein tolles und ansehnliches Wasser gezaubert.

Das volle braune Vlies, einfach gegen neues austauschen. Setzt sich auch nicht so schnell zu, wenn die größten Trübungen weg sind. Ich kann es jedem empfehlen! Will nicht mehr ohne!

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).
