Description
Matala Low Density Black Filter Media
The Black Matala filter media can be used as a support grate for other layers of media due to its very sturdy and open design. In a settling chamber the Black will slow down and trap very large particles and hair algae.
When you use the Black or Green Matala filter mats for solids filtering you may use the garden hose to spray clean them. The dirt falls off very easily.
