Hello, everyone
I was wanting to know what kind of filter pads, you guys use in you koi pond filters, to trap small and large particals. something I can cut to fit in my filter I have 5 55 gallon plastic drums linked together with four inch bulkheads.
I need to find some filter pads, I can clean easy and reuse over and over.

ok,
Are you talking about the high speed floor buffer pads, like the ones 3M makes. www.3m.com/commcare
Is there any chemicals in these pads that would leech into my pond ?
do you or anyone you know use these pads in there ponds ?
I have a ton of these pads at work
