AIR DRIVEN FILTERS

These filters are run by an aquarium air pump. They usually require a heavy ballast in the bottom such as rocks or bio ceramics and a filter in the top part such as polyester strand (quilt or pillow batting) or foam cut to fit. The air forced down the smaller pipe flows up and out the larger pipe and pulls water from the bottom of the filter. Water enters the top of the filter and first is filtered by your foam or batting then is pulled through your ballast. Easy to maintain and clean.
