Replacement Wing Media for Compact Filter

The Atlantic Water Gardens Nautilus 1600/2600 filter wing is the replacement media wing assembly for the Oase Nautilus compact pond filter — used in the 1600 and 2600 flow-rate configurations. The filter wings contain the biological and mechanical media that cleans pond water inside the Nautilus housing. Replacing worn or permanently fouled filter wings restores the filter's biological capacity and mechanical filtration efficiency without replacing the entire Nautilus unit.

Compact Filter, Easy Media Replacement

The Nautilus filter's wing-based media design allows quick removal and replacement of the entire media assembly without disassembling the filter housing. This ease of service is one of the Nautilus's key advantages for pond owners who prefer low-maintenance filtration. The filter wings provide both mechanical debris interception and biological surface area in a compact format suited for smaller ponds, container water features, and fountain basins. Replace when media becomes permanently compressed or fouled despite regular cleaning.

How to Replace

Remove the Nautilus filter from service and disconnect power and plumbing. Open the filter housing per the Nautilus disassembly guide. Remove the old filter wings and discard. Install the new wing assembly in the housing, ensuring correct orientation and full seating within the housing chamber. Reassemble and return to service. Allow 4–6 weeks for the biological colony to re-establish on the new media before expecting full water clarity.

Ideal for maintaining Oase Nautilus compact pond filtration in smaller Canadian ponds, container features, and fountain basins.
