SpidersWeb Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Why do you need so much of it? I just sacrified a single cotton pillow, and its given me more than enough wool to go around. When its saturated you just wash it under the tap. I use it in my externals on the final layer as a water polisher as it picks up finer bits of dirt than the foam you get in filters normally.

quack Posted January 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 the sump on one of my tanks uses up heaps and it hasnt been changed of ages, also the ar980 use it up heaps too. i dont go though much on my canisters, just the meantion filters get dirty really fast. dont know why the ar980 does,but its picks up the muck really fast!

smidey Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 i pay around $12 for a bale which has about a square metre in it from my LFS. is that what you get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat692 Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 I use old pillows (good excuse to get new nicer pillows) and just rinse half out at a time when they need cleaning. Theyre a big bacterial area as well as a fine filter and you dont want to upset your bacterial filtration by replacing/washing the whole lot at once.
