How to Use This Aquarium Filter Media Bag

- Securely pull the drawstring tight to close the bag, ensuring no media can escape.
- Rinse the filled bag thoroughly under cool tap water to remove any dust or fine particles from the new media.

Care & Maintenance Tips
Proper care and maintenance will extend the life of your TCWS Net Bag Small and ensure continued efficient filtration:
- Regular Rinsing: When changing or cleaning filter media, rinse the empty net bag thoroughly under cool, dechlorinated water to remove any trapped debris or biofilm.
- Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn buildup, gently scrub the bag with an aquarium-safe brush or sponge. Avoid using soap or detergents, as residues can be harmful to aquatic life.
- Media Replacement: Replace the filter media inside the bag according to the media manufacturer's recommendations or when it becomes exhausted (e.g., activated carbon typically lasts 2-4 weeks).
- Inspect for Wear: Regularly inspect the net bag for any signs of wear, tears, or damage. A damaged bag may allow media to escape, compromising filtration.
- Storage: If storing the bag for future use, ensure it is thoroughly cleaned and dried to prevent mold or mildew growth.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Never use harsh chemicals or bleaches on the net bag, as these can contaminate your aquarium water.
