Matala Filter Media Sheets

The various densities of Matala filter media can be used in sequence or separately for unique biological filtration requirements. This is one of the greatest characteristics which Matala has to offer. No other bio-filter media on the market can perform this step-wise filtration. Matala effectively separates large particles to small and still maintains a very aerobic and free flow of water without channeling. Easy to cut to size these filters will last 3-4 times as long as conventional filter materials.

Matala Half Sheets are 24" x 39.5" x 1.5"

Matala Black Filter Sheet

Low Density Black Matala

The Black Matala can be used as a support grate for other layers of media due to its very sturdy and open design. In a settling chamber the Black will slow down and trap very large particles and hair algae.

When using the Black or Green Matala for solids filtering the garden hose can be used to spray them clean. The dirt falls off very easily.

Matala Green Filter Sheet

Medium Density Green Matala

The Green Matala can follow thereby trapping a medium size particle. Both Green and Black clean out very easily by simply shaking the pieces out before draining the sump.

When you use the Black or Green Matala for solids filtering the garden hose can be use to spray them clean. The dirt falls off very easily.

A good biofilter needs a lot of surface area with open spaces between for good aerated water flow. A high surface area is useless if the passageways are so small that water flow cannot penetrate.

Matala Blue Filter Sheet

High Density Blue Matala

The Blue Matala® filter media will filter out a much smaller particle and yet still maintain good flow distribution. In larger systems all four types can be used in sequence to essentially remove all solids.

Matala filter media is a progressive filter Material that is self supporting and multifunctional. Used for prefiltering, mechanical filter media, biological filtration, spawning mat, plant protection, and as a support for other filter medias. Uniquely versatile, Matala filter mats are easy to work with and can fit most all filtration needs.

Matala Grey Filter Sheet

Super High Density Grey Matala

The Grey Matala Filter mats will filter out a much smaller particle and yet still maintain good flow distribution. In larger systems all four types can be used in sequence to essentially remove all solids.

Matala media works perfectly with upflow filter designs. The ideal configuration would be the Matala filter media stood vertically rather than flat. This allows for easier cleaning. All you do is grab an individual piece and shake it up and down to clean it. If your filter chamber is packed to tight, take out one piece first.
