I dont think you will find a fine filter matting which will last more than a few cleans.

On the other hand, a coarser option is biomat (koimat) however it doesnt do the job of filter wool.

I use a commercial matting which lasts me approx 1 month and then I just throw it out and replace it. I buy it in a 20m x 1.8m roll (it is about 3cm thick).

Rohan,

Where do you get the matting from?

Thanks,
Dave.

(lasts me 6-9 months at least)
