Active Aqua Submersible Pump Filter Bag, 10.5" x 13.125"

Keep Sediment Out of Your Pump, Not Your Reservoir

Every hydroponic reservoir collects biological film and nutrient sediment over time — and an unprotected pump pulls all of it straight through the impeller.

This 10.5" x 13.125" filter bag zips around a submersible pump rated up to 1,000 GPH, screening out that sediment before it ever reaches the moving parts inside.

A gusseted bottom keeps the pump sitting properly inside the bag, and the corrosion-proof zipper means you can pull the pump out for cleaning in seconds and seal it right back up.

Key Features & Benefits

• 10.5" x 13.125" fine-mesh enclosure — is sized to fit submersible pumps up to 1,000 GPH without crowding or restricting flow.
• Filters biological and nutrient sediment — keeps the kind of debris common to hydroponic reservoirs from reaching the impeller.
• Gusseted bottom — helps the pump sit properly and stay seated inside the bag during operation.
• Corrosion-proof zipper closure — seals the bag securely and opens easily whenever it's time to pull the pump for cleaning.
• Removable pump design — lets you take the pump out for maintenance without disturbing the rest of the setup.
• Reduces pump wear and cleaning frequency — by keeping the worst of the sediment away from the moving parts in the first place.

Who Should Use This Filter Bag

This filter bag suits flood-and-drain and drip hydroponic growers running a submersible pump up to 1,000 GPH who want to extend pump life and cut down on how often they have to pull the unit for cleaning, especially in reservoirs that build up biological film quickly.

Choosing the Right Filter Bag Size

Active Aqua's filter bags come in two sizes matched to different pump capacities — this 10.5" x 13.125" version covers pumps up to 1,000 GPH, while the larger 10.5" x 13.125" bag covers pumps up to 1,000 GPH. Picking the size that matches your pump keeps the mesh from crowding the impeller while still giving sediment plenty of surface area to collect on before it can reach the moving parts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size pump does this bag fit?

It's sized for submersible pumps up to 1,000 GPH, giving the pump enough room inside the bag to sit properly and draw water without restriction.

What does the bag actually filter out?

It's a fine-mesh enclosure that catches biological film and nutrient sediment — the buildup that's common in hydroponic reservoirs and that otherwise heads straight into your pump's impeller.

How do I clean the pump once it's inside the bag?

Open the corrosion-proof zipper, lift the pump out for cleaning, and zip the bag closed again once it's back in place — the gusseted bottom helps it reseat properly every time.

Will the bag restrict the pump's flow?

No — it's sized to give the pump room to draw water freely while the fine mesh does its job of screening out sediment before it reaches the impeller.

How often should I check or clean the bag?

It depends on your reservoir's bioload, but checking it on your regular maintenance schedule and rinsing it out when you see buildup will keep both the bag and the pump working at their best.
