I encountered the same problem with my old pet cetera filter cartridge. But, my friend rinses out the filter all the time. Usually that always keeps the water flowing through the filter cartridge.




So then if there is more media space, then that would mean that the water would be able to filter through the sponge, charcoal and/or bio beads?



Can you please explain more about the gph? I'm not really familiar with it.. the people I bought the filter from said that aqua clear is a very good filter that works a lot better than the penguin.. so then I bought the Aqua Clear filter instead of the penguin filter.



Will penguin and other side filters break earlier than the regular aqua clear filter brand?
