* It is not recommended to rinse the foam directly in tap or
well water, as the water contains chemicals that make it
unsafe to reptiles and amphibians. As a precaution, the foam
should always be rinsed in de-chlorinated water. To do this,
fill a container with water and then treat the water with a
water conditioner such as Exo Terra Aquatize to neutralize the
chemicals. Once the water has been de-chlorinated, you can
then rinse the sponge.
** Replacement Filter Foam (PT-2096) can be purchased from your
local Exo Terra dealer or pet retailer.
Note:
If you are using well water, or if you have hard water, run the filter
for a few minutes in a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar to help
remove calcium deposit buildup. Rinse filter thoroughly before
replacing it in the terrarium.
Caution:
Do not use detergents or other chemical cleaners. The power cord
cannot be replaced, discard the appliance if damaged.
