Fluval ProVac Dual Density Filter Pad
Genuine dual-density replacement pad for the Fluval ProVac gravel cleaner. One face traps coarse debris, the other polishes fine particles, restoring the cleaner's suction clarity once the original pad clogs.
Key features
- Dual-density design — coarse debris trapped on one side, fine particles polished out on the other.
- Genuine fit — the same pad type supplied with, and made for, the Fluval ProVac powered gravel cleaner.
- Multi-pad pack — several spares on hand rather than replacing one pad at a time.
Fits
Fluval ProVac Powered Aquarium Gravel Cleaner (rated for aquariums 25 cm / 10" and larger). Not designed for other brands' gravel vacuums.

Common questions
How many pads are in this pack?
We've seen this listed as both a three-pad and a four-pad pack across different retailers and haven't been able to confirm the exact count for this SKU from Fluval directly — check your order confirmation, or contact us before you buy if the exact count matters for your order.
How is this different from the Fluval Pro-Vac Gravel Cleaner 3+1 Pad?
Both are dual-density replacement pads for the same Fluval ProVac gravel cleaner. We're carrying them as separate listings from different supply batches; the pad itself is the same style and fit.
How often do I need to replace the pad?
About every two cleans, or sooner if you notice reduced suction mid-clean.
