Each pack contains three sponges. The inlet sponge prevents dust, insects, and fine debris from entering the compressor's air intake, protecting the internal diaphragm and check valves from abrasive contamination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProtect the Compressor Before It Reaches the Diaphragm\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAeration compressors draw a continuous stream of ambient air through their intake. Without an inlet filter, fine grit, spider webs, and airborne debris accumulate inside the compressor and accelerate wear on the diaphragm, the component responsible for generating the air pulse. A clogged or missing inlet sponge shortens diaphragm life significantly. Replace the inlet sponge at least once per season or whenever the sponge is visibly compressed, discoloured, or blocked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible With\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAquascape Pond Aerator Pro compressor series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQuantity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 sponges per pack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOpen-cell polyurethane foam\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFunction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAir intake filtration to protect compressor internals\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReplacement Interval\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAt least annually, or when compressed or discoloured\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower off the compressor before servicing.
