Can I use these pellets in combination with sand in my pond sand filter system?

You should be able to. It will help with the filtration process. Hope this helps answer your question. Happy ponding!!!!!

I agree with E M, if not, as long as you keep it above or below the sand in a mesh bag, that may simplify the process.

Carbon has a limited amount of filtration capacity. Once the carbon has bonded with the chemicals it filters, it basically becomes satiated and will no longer work. If your sand filtration system can be strained to remove spent carbon then, yes. However if your system is closed, then it would probably be more work than just using the sand system. Here is a website to help explain. http://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/energy/question209.htm

They can be. You just have to use the plugs that were provided, when you clean your filter out. I do prefer using the filter, it saves so much water.

use this with a sediment filter first. it can be damaged by large particles

If it is a sand filter you should be able to use it. It replaces sand on 1:1 ratio.

Not sure what you had in mind but I use whole kernel corn. I'm sure pellets would be fine.

I wouldn't recommend this for fish its fine grain would clog up a filter system. Its geared for reptiles and such.

Yes you can. But make sure you fit the filter holder with strong screws as this filter will get too heavy then EZ1.

Yes, but beware that some ammonia pads are freshwater only. Something to keep in mind if your have a saltwater tank.

i use them with my canister filter its in a mesh bag i put on bag in with my carbon bags seems to be fine i just use it a a precautionary thing. i still do normal water changes and everything else.

Lime pellets are the same size as fertilizer, ice melt, etc. Should work just fine.

I don't see why you couldn't although I live the media that comes with it... I just added them to the tank for a few weeks before taking the old filter out

You can. However, the tidy cat pads are a perfect fit. The pellets are okay. I think using a different brand my work fine as long as they don't fall through the grate.

These are actually used as gravity filters, but to be honest I would recommend the point zero 2 (.02) microbe filter for that, because it is larger and designed for gravity(as far as what is included). Anyways, yes it can work, but if you are referring to gravity as the pressure in a 5 gallon+ bucket, it would need to be at least 1/3 full and generally pre-filtered of particles. I would expect great results from this for you

I use this on my 2000g pond with a sand gravel filter. No cleaning filters.. just use air. This would be overkill for 200g. Look at little giant pumps.

I can not tell you 100% but I have a Hayward sand filter and it has been great I ended up using two bags of glass media as i usually use sand.The only thing I have seen a couple times about using the glass is some filter intakes at bottom of sand maybe larger than others one person said they put in small amt gravel over intakes to keep glass away.They added couple inches gravel then glass.Try it I have never had such an easy time to keep pool clean.Good Luck

I have had various types of filters and have found that a DE filter is better than either a sand or cartridge filter system. Of course, the decision on which sytem to use should take into consideration the size of the pool in question.

Yes :) I have a sand filter and pump it is very safe stuff to use and works good! Keep in mind it doesn't kill a Algee bloom but helps clear it after u treat and kill the Algee bloom and will keep Algee down very well afterward.
