Using H202 with Eco-plus Pumps

Ok guys i wanted to ask if anyone has had problems running h202 with the eco-plus series pumps. I started using h202 lately in my stink bud aero-systems to help combat any algae that might occur with the warmer temps i have been having; however, my clones have taken a long time to root since i started using the peroxide. Today i was cleaning out my reservoirs and when i started flushing out the filters in my pumps i noticed they were foaming profusely. At first i thought it was just bacteria being killed by the h202 but then the filter started smoking! Apparently there is a chemical reaction that this filter material has with the h202. I investigated further and i found a bunch of little pieces of the filter throughout my rez. These pumps and filters are fairly new so this is not due to the filter being old. This was definitely a chemical reaction as i was holding the filter and sprayed it w/a 17% H202 solution and it started smoking and got very hot(i had gloves on)
I was wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this?

no i cant say that ever happened to me, and ive used eco in the past with h202

yah, it was frickin strange. There is no question though, that the peroxide was eating the filter. I wonder if maybe eco-plus has changed their filter material? I dunno but i took out the bio filters since i have my pumps in cheesecloth socks.

was the pump running while you were cleaning it?
