Matala Green Filter Media Quarter Sheet 24" x 19.5”, Medium Density

Matala is an advanced filter media that is specifically designed for pond enthusiasts who are serious about maintaining healthy water conditions. Its practical and versatile qualities are immediately evident upon first glance. With its open, highly aerobic 3-dimensional structure, Matala promotes optimal water conditions and facilitates easy cleaning in most non-pressurized filter designs. It is a simple yet effective filter media that delivers reliable results. One of Matala's greatest advantages is its ability to cater to unique filtration requirements. With its various densities, the Matala media can be used in sequence or separately, allowing for step-wise filtration that cannot be found in any other media available on the market. Matala excels at separating large particles to small ones while maintaining a highly aerobic and free flow of water, eliminating the concern of channeling. Moreover, Matala is slightly buoyant, ensuring that it will not sink to the bottom of your filter. When stacked horizontally, the Matala sheets hold each other down, and when stood vertically, they do not float. Additionally, the Matala's rigidity makes it easy to wedge in place in the filter without the need for any support. For those interested in the specific characteristics of Matala, a quarter sheet of this filter media measures approximately 24 x 19 x 1.5 inches. The weight of a half sheet ranges between 4 to 5 pounds, depending on the density. A half sheet covers 6.5 square feet, and 8 square feet of Matala media is equivalent to 1 cubic foot. Notably, Matala is semi-rigid, self-supporting, and non-brittle. It possesses a specific gravity of 0.95, making it slightly buoyant. Furthermore, Matala is made from EVA material, which is nontoxic to the environment.
