Fairfield Poly-Fil Low Loft Quilt Batting

Who would’ve thought a low loft batting could double as the perfect Koi pond filter? I stumbled upon this idea out of curiosity, and it’s turned out to be one of the best DIY pond hacks I’ve ever tried.Since I started using it, my Koi pond has stayed crystal clear. It helps cycle and clean the water beautifully, keeping everything fresh and healthy for my fish.It might not be a conventional use, but it’s been an incredibly effective, affordable, and creative solution. If you’re a pond enthusiast and enjoy thinking outside the box, give this a try—you’ll be surprised how well it works! I will buy again.

I have a little garden pond that gets really green after the long harsh winter. When I start up the pump, it looks like pea soup. A few years back I had found a video where someone used 100% polyester fiber fill in their filter to clean the pond. Well, I am happy to say I have done this the past 2 years and it really works wonderfully, especially until my pond plants take over and do their job. The price and thickness of Fairfield Poly-Fil Low-Loft Batting is just right for me. I can rinse and reuse a couple times, then I cut a new piece when needed. Just don't wrap it directly around the pump to avoid clogging. You can put the pump in a filter box and wrap the box, or use it in a water feature that just lets water pass thru. With a little online searching, you can find exactly how to do this.

Very soft and easy to use

Haven't used it yet

Used for crafts stuffing.

Used for speakers insulation in my jeep

[Don't apply heat - Polyester can melt]. Less expensive to use than 100% cotton, cotton blends, or other more expensive batting. Purchased to use with pillows I was making. Made sure the fabric was ironed/pressed first.I used a piece to line the inside front and inside back of the pillow (one layer per side). I was able to topstitch the fabric and the poly batting together without needing a third layer -- Fabric on top and batting underneath. Made the pillow softer before stuffing. {Cleaned sewing machine after doing this project.}

It's polyfil. It's soft.
