Where to buy filter floss/pads

[YHSublime]

Hey WAMAS,

 

I found some big rolls of filter pads in my basement, I’ve been cutting them to the size I need, and I’m nearly out, and have no idea where I got them from.

 

Amy ideas where I can buy them?

As soon as I posted this, I just went to amazon and found what I was looking for and bought it. 

 

Used to be you could find obscure stuff like that at Michaels, etc. I kept it up in case anybody else is looking and happens to come across this thread!

If you're not looking for "aquarium grade", you probably could still find it at Michaels or JoAnne Fabrics (going out of business?).  Should just be "polyester batting", and with the thickness we're usually looking for, probably for quilting.

Yeah, I don't know if it matters or not. But I have a 20' roll coming (aquarium grade) at about $35. It should last me at least the year. I've found that the pad above my filter socks blocks a lot of stuff, and helps keep from swapping them out for a longer period of time. Amazing how much gunk is coming out.

I stocked up a LONG time ago right before Dr. Foster and Smith was acquired by Petco. They had 20' rolls for dirt cheap. I'm glad you started this thread because I'm actually down to my last roll.

Amazon seems to be the go… for now
