Remove the front cover and extract the spent sponge. Insert the replacement until fully seated. Refit the front cover and reinstall the pump. Rinse the sponge every 2 to 4 weeks in pond water during the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA permanently compressed sponge does not just reduce flow; it forces debris past the pre-filter and into direct contact with the impeller. The 1500 G3 moves enough water that a failed sponge can load the impeller quickly. Replace the sponge before flow restriction becomes noticeable to the feature above, which usually means the pump has already been running under load for some time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for Ultra 1500 G3 pump owners restoring pump flow after the existing pre-filter sponge has permanently compressed or degraded past usefulness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aquascape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52698408354111,"sku":"AQ-91037","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8260\/9215\/files\/aquascape-replacement-parts-default-title-aquascape-ultra-1500-water-pump-g3-filter-sponge-43287390224703.webp?v=1776379392","url":"https:\/\/gardenpondusa.com\/products\/aquascape-ultra-1500-water-pump-g3-filter-sponge","provider":"Ponds Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
