xOverview
The EHEIM Filter Pad White is a neutral, soft filtration layer designed for the Classic External Filter 600. Made from a phenol-free synthetic material, this pad helps capture fine dirt particles as water passes through the canister, contributing to clearer aquarium water without altering chemistry.
Key benefits

- Comes in sets of three
- Also suitable for use in Classic Canister 2217
- Should be used as the last layer in your setup
What you get and how to use it
Each purchase includes three white filter pads, ready to slot into your existing filtration stack. As the final filtration stage, the pads work in tandem with upstream media to catch residual debris before water returns to the tank, supporting overall clarity and a cleaner look for your aquascape.
- Insert the pad as the last layer in the filter media sequence
- Rinse before first use if needed, and replace as part of routine maintenance
Practical use scenarios
In daily aquarium maintenance, users often notice improved water appearance when the pad is used with compatible EHEIM media. The white pad’s neutral composition makes it easy to monitor saturation and plan timely replacements, helping keep your filtration system operating smoothly.
Because the pad is compatible with Classic Canister 600 and 2217 models, you can adapt it to different setups without overhauling your filter strategy. Its three-piece design gives you flexibility to refresh just part of the stack as needed, rather than replacing the entire media kit.
Care and maintenance tips
- Inspect pads periodically for buildup or discoloration
- Replace as part of scheduled filter maintenance to maintain flow and efficiency
- Rinse with tank water to remove loose debris without introducing cleaners
