Mechanical filtration is a cheap and easy way to remove detritus from your system. It does work well when done properly.

Using it means regular cleaning and replacing clogged filtration media.

Not using it means extra expenses on GFO, active carbon, better (i.e. more expensive) skimming and often additional equipment and more frequent water changes.

Your choice of extra work or extra spending...
