EH2616111 Eheim Classic 150 (2211) — Coarse Filter Pad 2-Pack - Eheim

Eheim Classic 150 (2211) coarse filter pads — 2-pack

The EH2616111 coarse filter pads are the genuine Eheim replacement pads for the Classic 150 (2211) canister filter. Unlike fine wool or foam pads, the coarse version traps large particles (plant debris, visible food waste) without clogging fast — this is the first mechanical filtration stage in the canister, placed below the biological media.

What these pads bring

• Coarse mechanical filtration — traps debris and visible particles before the biological stage.
• Extends the lifespan of downstream biological media.
• Porous material with uniform water impregnation, even particle capture.
• Genuine Eheim format — exact dimensions of the Classic 150 (2211) canister.
• 2-pack covers several service cycles.

How to use

• Replace every 3-6 months depending on tank bioload.
• Place below the biological media (Ehfisubstrat, Substrat Pro) in the canister.
• Rinse in tank water (never chlorinated tap water) between replacements.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between coarse pad, foam pad and fine wool + carbon?

Coarse traps visible debris, foam captures medium particles, fine wool + carbon polishes water and strips dissolved organics. Stack all three in that order from bottom to top of the canister.

How often should I replace coarse pads?

Every 3-6 months depending on bioload. A coarse pad can be rinsed multiple times in tank water before full replacement.

Are these pads safe for saltwater?

Yes — Eheim pads are made for freshwater and marine tanks, with no chemical treatment that would affect a reef aquarium.
