* 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.
