How often do you replace your filter pads/ Media?

[popeye46]

I just order a new course pad for my skimmer box, and although it is advertised as " just rinse and reuse" , the manufactures advise to replace it often (they only tell you this after you purchase), so I was wondering not so much what the "rule" is, but what do other ponders do....how often do you replace your Media and filter pads?

I'm a when it falls apart guy too.

Found this on the internet and it seems like a lot of filter material for a low price.......would this work in a bio filter.????

It is also available on ebay for less money and free shipping.......

Has anyone else wondered why a hunk of foam for any other application costs nothing.... but the same piece of foam for a fish pond costs fifty bucks?
