The 1500 and 2000 filters use their own equivalent inserts (BIS178 and BIS179); check your filter's rating before ordering, since the housings aren't interchangeable across sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare and maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse the old foam in tank water during routine filter cleaning and reuse it while it still holds its shape. Replace it once it's compressed, torn, or no longer sits snugly in the motor housing — a loose-fitting insert lets debris past it and onto the impeller.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSold as a standard consumable replacement part; any fault on arrival is covered under your consumer guarantee rights under Australian Consumer Law.
