Active Aqua AAPW550 Submersible Water Pump, 550 GPH, 33W, 6 Ft Cord
feeding a hydroponic-style chiller, circulating a tub that has no hose ports, pumping a tub out into a utility sink
Two spare 20-micron cartridges, so the chiller's filter gets changed when it should, not when the delivery arrives.
A chiller with a filter inside is only as good as the cartridge in it, and the cartridge is the part everyone forgets until the water goes cloudy. These are The Pod Company’s own replacements: 20-micron pleated paper, 6 in (15 cm) tall and 3 in (7.6 cm) across per the listing, two to a pack, and a drop-in swap with no tools. The chiller ships with two cartridges of its own, so a pack on the shelf means a change is never waiting on a delivery.
The listing says they are designed for Pod Company chillers and may fit others only if the size matches – and it gives the same 3 in figure for the outer and the inner diameter, which cannot both be true. Measure the cartridge that came out before you order, and read the chiller’s manual for the change interval; the listing’s own “up to 7 days” is a maker’s claim with no conditions attached.
Tip: Write the date on the blue end cap with a marker when a new cartridge goes in – the chiller will not remind you.
