Bioscape Pond Foam Insert Fountain Pump 4F
The pre-filter foam that protects your 4F pump's impeller in busy, high-flow ponds. This genuine Bioscape foam insert fits the Pond Fountain Pump 4F (4,800 L/h, model BIS202), Bioscape's largest fountain pump, sitting ahead of the impeller to catch leaves, algae and grit before they reach it.
Key features
- Fits the 4F pump only — sized for the Bioscape Pond Fountain Pump 4F (BIS202) and not interchangeable with the 2F or 3F housings.
- Genuine replacement part — the same foam grade fitted to the pump new, not a generic cut-to-fit substitute.
- Built for higher debris loads — the 4F is the range's high-flow model for larger ponds and waterfalls, where the pre-filter foam typically works hardest and needs checking more often.
- Simple to swap — a tool-free insert that lifts out of the pump housing for cleaning or replacement.
Which foam insert do I need?
Bioscape's fountain pump range covers three sizes, each with its own foam insert and impeller — the parts aren't interchangeable between models. Check the model printed on your pump body, or match it against the flow rate on the box, before ordering.

Suitable for, and not suitable for
Suitable as a genuine replacement for the pre-filter foam on the Bioscape Pond Fountain Pump 4F, in fresh or salt water. Not suitable for the 2F or 3F pumps — order the matching insert from the table above instead.
Care and maintenance
Bioscape doesn't publish a fixed replacement interval for this insert. On the 4F, higher flow generally means more debris passes through in a given period, so check it whenever you clean the pump and replace it once it's torn, compacted or won't rinse clean.
Warranty and delivery
Covered against manufacturing defects under Bioscape's warranty, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law. Ships by standard parcel post.
Common questions
How do I know if my pump is the 4F?
The 4F is Bioscape's largest fountain pump in this range, rated 4,800 L/h and sold as model BIS202. Check the model sticker on the pump body, or compare your pump's rated flow against the table above if the sticker isn't legible.
Does the 4F need its foam checked more often than the smaller pumps?
Bioscape doesn't publish different intervals by model, but because the 4F is typically run in larger ponds and waterfalls with more debris passing through, it's worth checking it at least as often as the smaller pumps, if not more.
Does this fit the 2F or 3F pump?
No. Each pump size in the range uses its own foam insert — use BIS210 for the 2F or BIS211 for the 3F instead.
What's the matching impeller if mine is worn rather than dirty?
BIS215 is the genuine replacement impeller for the 4F pump.
