Sheet Matala Black

Low Density Black Matala

The Black Matala can be used as a support grate for other layers of media due to its very sturdy and open design. In a settling chamber the Black will slow down and trap very large particles and hair algae.

Black Matala can be used in larger systems where all four types can be used in sequence to essentially remove all solids. Because of its open structure, it is seldom used as a single layer in any filter situation. If leaves and sticks are the main particulate to be filtered, the Black Matala works well. (Remember that the porosity of the Black Matala is such that you could push a pencil through its structure.)

When you use the Black or Green Matala for solids filtering you may use the garden hose to spray clean them. The dirt falls off very easily.

Please Note: Full Sheets of Black Matala filter media can cost up to triple the shipping costs due to UPS oversize fees. If you need an uncut full size black sheet please select 2 half sheets. Then in the comment section of the cart ask for an uncut sheet. Best to use credit card payment option because oversize fees must be manually determined after the order has been entered. Credit card orders are NOT charged until shipment unlike PayPal.
