Is there a cheaper way to replace the media? I can't find any media filter bag that is small enough.

I did not like this filtration system so I am not using it. I let my window of opportunity to return it pass so I am stuck with it. The flow of water was way to strong for my turtle and I could not put the lid on my tank securely which is not acceptable since I also have a cat and a dog that like to mess with Ferb the turtle. Sorry I don't have anything good to say but I hope this is helpful somehow.

All I did was cut the top of the bag open, emptied the media and refilled it. I then placed the bag back inside the cartridge and it holds just fine. If you feel like putting an extra ten minutes you can relace it with thread so you can close it tight. That's my advice.

There appears to be a VF110 dust filter, which I'm assuming is the "bag" in question, sold on the same webpage as the little vacuum.

I haven't had to replace mine as yet (just got it last week). But I will check Amazon for pre-filter and filter. I just checked and Amazon carries the filters for $33.

Go here to get a replacement adapter: http://www.pur.com/support#request. I had to make a separate request for each filter I have and they sent them really fast - little over a week I think. You get metal A and plastic B, C, and D adapters.

I have checked and I don't believe there is a filter. I think buying a new one is the best option. At least they are pretty cheap.

I think it is relative to replacing the filter. In mine, the filter and bag are one piece, so if you order a new filter, I believe a new bag will be attached.

Most filters come in a plastic case. But it wouldn't be a bad idea to get a better case for the camera bag.

Gosh, I should ask you where you find the dust bags when you do. I haven't even taken mine out of the box yet. Glad you said it works great and sorry I am not much help.

I've found that you can adjust power of the suction using the lever valve. By doing so, you can create enough suction to remove the mulm but leave the finer media behind.

In hope that this helps someone:I have 2 pumps, both with canister filters. I use carbon in one and in the other I use Matrix with NO media bag. HOWEVER, if I only had one pump I'd use a media bag in order to separate them since Matrix doesn't require replacement while carbon does. Also I'd situate the Matrix ABOVE the carbon.

Amazon has been my main choice for replacing lost cameras, chargers, cables, anything. Pretty much whatever you need is available on this site and (usually) priced competitively

Mine is not a mini but I am sure Media Devil will make one to suit. My Media Devil is still perfect after about 1 year of use.

What I did was vacuum the actual blue filter thoroughly as it really didn't look very dirty even though I got a "change filter" message. Then I washed the plastic grid piece it fits into thoroughly and let it dry. I reassembled it and still got a change filter message. However, I discovered there is a tiny "reset filter" hole near the top of the inside of the unit where you place the filter. I stuck a paperclip in the hole and pushed, and now it's behaving as if it has a brand new filter! I think maybe if this is done on a regular basis that you can get a lot more use out of this unit, even though the filters are "no longer available."

Buy an 8mm camera or deck off of Ebay. Transfer the stuff and sell it back.

I've actually changed the bag twice on mine using the Bardia brand bags. It is rather challenging to do but does work. I remove the old bag at the bottom of the green rubber tube, gradually working it out, and then work the new bag into the tube. The new bags have cost less than $5.00 each (though I haven't found anything comparable for that price on Amazon, I used a medical supply website) -- definitely worth the trouble in my book!

You could probably contact Lowepro for a replacement. However, I never liked the wheels that came with the bag, so I immediately replaced them with something better. I contacted Think Tank -- the makers of camera bags with much more durable, higher quality wheels. To get the right size, I needed to send them one of the Lowepro wheels and a closeup photo of the bag's wheelhouse. They then sent me two of their wheels (FREE OF CHARGE) that fit my bag perfectly. It now runs a lot smoother and quieter. Check them out at www.thinktankphoto.com.
