Hozelock Filter pads

Hiya all,
I have had a Hozelock 9000 filter unit for just under a year now and the filter foam pads are getting a bit worn up now, especially the fine grade one.
Searching the Web for replacement parts has shown that the cheapest I can find is £30 for a set. This seems ridiculously expensive to me for 3 bits of foam.
Does anyone know if any sort of sponge can be used as a filter, as long as the grade of holes is the same (coarse/med/fine)?
I do not want to introduce anything into the system which will have nasty chemicals to poison the water so I cautious about getting some cheap foam from the market which is normally sold for cushions/matresses and the like as they may well have fire retardant chemicals etc. |

| Sean, Thanks for the confirmation. I have found the Kockney Koi webstite but cannot spot anything on the other one you mention. Can you post the URL for ERKoi please. Any other well trusted sites for pond equipment would also be gratefully received. Perhaps we ought to set up a new posting of recommended suppliers so all members can go straight to the trusted/cheap dealers ? |
