Matala EZ-Bio Pond Pump Pre-Filter
Product Details
Brand: Matala

Matala EZ-Bio Pond Pump Pre-Filter

The Matala EZ-Bio Plus Pre-Filters are simple and effective biomechanical pre-filters to improve pump performance, prevent pump damage and flow reduction due to debris and clogs. Matala EZ-Bio Plus Pre-Filters are available in 2 sizes, the EZ-Bio 11 and the larger, double core EZ-Bio 20 which provides biological filtration. Both sizes come with universal barbed fittings that accept 1", 1-1/4" and 1-1/2" tubing. You can also connect directly to the core via the 1-1/2" FPT opening. Matala EZ-Bio Prefilters work well when combined with external pond filters as they allow only the smallest small particles into your main filter allowing for less frequent cleaning and more efficient filtration. Multiple units can also be joined together to increase pre-filtration capacity.

Matala EZ-Bio 11 Pre-Filter

The Matala EZ-Bio 11 Pre-Filter has a single Grey core Matala filter element which is suitable as a pre-filter for small to medium submersible pumps with flow rates up to 1980 GPH. These are ideal for submersible pumps like PondMaster Mag-Drive pumps, Aquascape Ultra pumps and almost any other submersible pump that has an intake fitting. The Matala EZ-Bio 11 measures 4-5/16" in diameter x 7-7/8" long.

Matala EZ-Bio 20 Pre-Filter

The EZ Bio 20 has 2 filter core elements, an internal fine Grey filter core combined with a outer coarse Green filter element. With this design, the EZ-Bio 20 uses progressive filtration and reduces clogging even further by capturing larger particles in the coarse outer core and finer particles in the more dense inner core. EZ Bio 20 Pre-Filter measures 8" in diameter x 7-7/8" long.
