It catches mid-sized suspended solids that slip through black media while maintaining enough flow to keep the filter running efficiently. In ponds where a single media type is used rather than a full multi-layer setup, green strikes the best balance between mechanical filtration and water flow. Sold per square foot, it cuts to any shape your filter requires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Use It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a multi-stage filter, green media runs second — after the black pre-filter has pulled out leaves and large debris. It continues removing smaller particles, building up a biofilm layer of beneficial bacteria on its surface as the season progresses. As a standalone media in simpler filter designs, it handles both mechanical straining and biological processing without restricting flow to the point of starving the pump. It's a practical choice for ponds where you want solid filtration without the complexity of a four-layer system.\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\u003eDensity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCoarse-medium \/ semi-open\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFiltration Stage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSecond stage, or standalone in simpler systems\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePore Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFiner than black, coarser than blue and grey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard Sheet Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39\" x 48\" x 1.5\" thick (99 cm x 122 cm x 3.8 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePer square foot\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLifespan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 to 3 years with regular rinsing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRinse with pond water, never tap water.
