Do you have to buy specifically tetra fauna medium filter cartridges, or is there a different brand I can use?

My filter takes the large bags, not medium. I think any similar size filters would probably work but these filters are a very good value on Amazon--much cheaper than purchasing in my local pet store.

No, I have used other brands of filters and the filter worked as usual. I found another brand of filter at Walmart that I have used before.

Medium. I buy the 12 pack from Amazon subscribe and save every 6 months. I change the filter and half of the water every 2 to 2 & 1/2 weeks.

I don't believe the type of filter you have matters. I happen to have a cartridge type filter, however, I've been using the PhosFree chemical for 3 years now, and I have never had a clearer, better feeling and algae free pool. It seems to extend the chlorine life and gives the water a softer feeling. My wife loves it too.

I order the filters from Home Depot. You can also vacuum the cartridges and the felt pre-filter and get a little more life out of them. Remember to push in the reset button by holding down the end of a paper clip into the hole till it beeps.

look at BestFilters.com - it looks like the Multipure Aquashower has a different filter for the model sold in stores, as compared to the model sold through multi-level-marketing - I would contact them for the correct filter. You could also contact New Wave Enviro and see if the filter would fit, give them the measurements of your old filter -

You need to buy additional cartridges. The ones they give you are like... Samples? You should order the "Goldfish" ones if you have messy fish, like goldfish (Which need a bigger tank than 10gals) and the "Tropical" for other fish.You need to do weekly water changes of 25% and clean the gravel. That will help with the smell

This cartridge is designed to fit the Aqueon pumps. It is the floss on the outside, and charcoal on the inside. Normally it costs about $8 per filter at Petsmart or Petco. So the cost is much lower on Amazon. You cannot use just aquarium filter floss, that is designed to use with charcoal in the old fashioned pumps.

I have not found a part number on the box or on the cartridge itself. There are EPA numbers, EPA Reg. No. 67712-1 and EPA Est. No. 67712-CA-001. Further information might come from their website www.zodiacpoolsystems.com. Hope this helps you out with your cartridge. There is probably not a part number because it is an after market product not as part of a swimming or pool filter system. Good luck we love ours.

I bought the WRONG Marina replacement cartridge and it did not fit. However, the aquarium shop then sold me a big sheet of carbon filter material and said I could just cut it to size and use it in place of the filter. A lot cheaper and it's been working well.

Well thats what I do now. I used to run the ammonia stones alone but when I saw that Marineland sells it already mixed I started to mix my own. You just have to wing it as to how much you need. Quantity of fish would be a factor. I have a Magnun 250 & mix apx 2/3 charcoal & 1/3 Ammonia stones. You can slice the filter open & reuse it or get a Magnum. Its worth it! http://www.amazon.com/Marineland-PC0250HSB-H-O-T-Filter-Magnum/dp/B000260FVQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1428698231&sr=1-1&keywords=magnum+250

Pay no mind to Camelgirl--I'm a chemist, and I know why it matters. I think you'll probably have to email the manufacturer of the filters, I couldn't find it anywhere either.

They will "fit" only because they are less than one quarter of the size of the original cartridges, by volume. So, while they will fit, they will NOT filter the water because they do not fill the space provided by the filter holder. A wadded up paper towel would be a more effective filter.

Any compatible cartridge should work. We use various brands without problems.

Just cut a piece from filter foam sheet. They sell a whole filter package at Petsmart for $5. I use them in my canister filter.

I am about to purchase this but another customer has carefully opened the filter media holder and replaced the active carbon and filter floss with similar filter media used for fish since this is a basic filter. We already have such materials since we do own a 50gal fish tank. So you can go to the pet store and buy what you need rather than buying a brand new filter every month.
