Ideal for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums, it enhances biological filtration by promoting beneficial bacteria growth, extends the lifespan of finer filters, and reduces replacement frequency, ensuring efficient, low-maintenance aquarium care. ## Description Fluval Pre-Filter Media is designed to capture solid waste before it reaches other media. This prevents premature clogging of finer filters and extends their life, reducing media replacement frequency. Fluval Pre-Filter consists of inert, solid ceramic rings used to trap large and medium solid particles before they clog the finer sieves of the modules above. The diversified water flow allows establishment of biological activity on the surface of the rings, adding to the overall biological action on ammonia and nitrite. Fluval Pre-Filter Media is ideal for medium and coarse filtration, and suitable for both freshwater and marine aquariums.Fluval first broke onto the aquatic scene in 1975 by introducing the world’s first 3-stage filter with synchronous motor technology – a landmark breakthrough that is still applied in the industry today. Since then, Fluval has built a legacy around this pioneering spirit, relentlessly adapting in a changing world to launch innovative aquarium products that remain at the forefront of technology, and which set the bar in quality, style and functionality. Above and beyond its manufacturing role, Fluval prides itself on its charitable and educational efforts that give back to the fishkeeping community, whether it means helping to fund the protection of wild coral reefs or jumping on a plane to document endangered fish species halfway around the world. Fluval’s mission is not just about building products that mimic the natural world, but inspiring aquarists of all skill levels to enjoy and respect the hobby for generations to come. ## Features - Mechanical filter media prevents finer filter media from clogging - Solid ceramic rings trap large and medium solid particles - Works to prevent clogging of finer filter modules - Helps reduce the replacement frequency of filter media - Ideal for medium and coarse filtration in freshwater and saltwater aquariums ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001CZXZEU | | ASIN | B001CZXZEU | | Allergen Information | Nut Free | | Best Sellers Rank | #23,536 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #212 in Aquarium Filter Accessories | | Brand Name | Fluval | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (4,018) | | Date First Available | June 20, 2004 | | Department | Filter Media | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00015561114707 | | Included Components | All Items in Description | | Item Form | Granules | | Item Type Name | Hagen FLUVAL PRE-FILTER 750GM | | Item Weight | 1.8 pounds | | Item model number | A1470 | | Manufacturer | Rolf C.

Where to place it and now to use it.** A: I use this product as the first stage of filtration in my SunSun canister. I place it n the very bottom, beneath the sponge filters tray. It acts to slow the flow of the water to allow solids to settle and stay trapped. This help to keep the finer sponge filters and polishing filter from clogging. **Q: does this come with a bag to hold the pieces in? if not, dostores sell the bags seperate?** A: they come in a bag inside of the box. you can take them out of the bag or leave them in it. we take them out because they seem to work better that way. **Q: Where do I use it in a 406 filter?** A: In top holder and second holder in opposite bins ## Frequently Bought Together - Fluval Pre-Filter Media - 750 grams/26.45 ounces - Fluval Carbon Filter Media for Aquariums, Premium Bituminous Carbon Inserts, 100-gram Nylon Bags, 3 Count (Pack of 1), A1440 - Fluval Zeo-Carb, Chemical Filter Media for Freshwater Aquariums, 150-gram Nylon Bags, A1490 , White, All Breed Sizes, pack of 1 (3 count) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/2271695-fluval-pre-filter-media-mechanical-filter-media-for-aquariums-ceramic](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/2271695-fluval-pre-filter-media-mechanical-filter-media-for-aquariums-ceramic) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-07-30*
