Matala

The advanced filter media for today's serious pond enthusiast. One look at Matala® will convince you of its practical and versatile qualities. The open, highly aerobic 3 dimensional structure promotes healthy water conditions and ease of cleaning in most non-pressurized filter designs. Matala® is a filter media that is simple and that works.

The various densities can be used in sequence or separately for unique filtration requirements. This is one of the greatest characteristics which Matala has to offer. No other 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. Matala is slightly buoyant and will not sink to the bottom of your filter. Matala stood vertically on end will not float. Matala stacked horizontally will hold each other down. Due to it's rigidity the Matala can be wedged in place in the filter without support.

• Long Lasting 
• When dirty - Rinse and Reuse, Easy as that
• Easily cut to whatever size you need 
• 8 sq. ft. equals 1 cubic ft of media
• Semi-rigid, self-supporting and non-brittle

Matala Air Disc Diffusers are available in 3", 7", 9" and 12" diameter sizes. Made of high quality EPDM rubber for use in water gardens, aquaculture and waste water treatment industries. Precision perforated I-shaped slits open when airflow is present and close when airflow is stopped, which increases durability and longevity, as well as cleanliness.  These diffusers offer the lowest back pressure in the market.

MD-3W and MD-7W have weighted bases. MDB11 and MDB22 features a hollow base that can be filled with sand or gravel.

These discs are very low maintenance and in some cases no maintenance. Simply wash the disc with clean water and bleach if it ever needs cleaning.
