How to Use

1. Turn off the filter and remove the existing sponge.
2. Rinse the Xinyou XY‑1811 sponge in dechlorinated water to remove dust.
3. Place the sponge into the filter compartment, ensuring a snug fit.

Important Note

Do not use the sponge with water temperatures exceeding 30 °C for prolonged periods, as extreme heat can degrade the foam. Ensure the sponge is fully seated to avoid contact with the motor housing. Replace after 6‑12 months of heavy use for best results.
