Abstract: Flexible reticulated foam fluid treatment media and a method of making same. The flexible fluid treatment media includes a flexible reticulated foam substrate, a binder coating the flexible reticulated foam substrate and a plurality of particles compressed into the binder to form a durable interconnected layer of particles that are bound together and collectively fixed to the substrate. The flexible reticulated foam fluid treatment media is flexible and easily cut and shaped without damaging the particle layer to form a wide variety of shapes and sizes that lend themselves to use within an equally wide variety of pipes, conduits, ducts, skimmers, filter housings and fluid treatment devices.

Abstract: A filter assembly is operably connected to a supporting structure. The filter assembly removes contaminants from a fluid. The filter assembly includes a filter housing, a filter cartridge, and a reticulated foam fluid treatment media. The filter housing has an inlet, an outlet and a chamber extending through the filter housing. The filter cartridge is positioned in the chamber of the filter housing. The filter cartridge is constructed from a fibrous material used to filter contaminants from a fluid. The filter cartridge has a passageway extending from a proximal end of the filter cartridge to a distal end of the filter cartridge. The reticulated foam fluid treatment media is disposed within a portion of the passageway of the filter cartridge.
