What Is The Straight Can Matrix Perc Ash Catcher?
Our Straight Can Matrix Perc Ash Catcher is an accessory we designed to improve your water pipe experience. It acts as a pre-filter, catching ash and debris before they can dirty the water in your main rig.

This piece not only keeps your primary water pipe cleaner for longer but also adds a layer of high-performance filtration. The simple and effective straight can design provides great stability and a classic look that complements any setup you have.

Feature Deep Dives
How Does A Matrix Perc Provide Smoother Filtration?
A matrix percolator is a disc perc filled with dozens of tiny, grid-like holes. When you inhale, smoke is forced through this grid, breaking it into a dense stack of micro-bubbles. This process greatly increases the surface area of the smoke touching the water, leading to rapid cooling and filtering of ash. The result is a much smoother and less harsh hit compared to a piece with no perc or a simpler design.
What Is The Advantage Of A Straight Can Design?
The straight can design is popular for its simplicity, stability, and efficiency. Its vertical, cylinder shape holds a good amount of water to filter ash and provides a stable base that's less likely to make a water pipe top-heavy. This classic shape is easy to handle, fill, and empty, making it a reliable and low-maintenance choice for daily use. It gives you all the function you need without extra complexity.
This ash catcher combines a high-performance perc with a time-tested, stable design.
- Matrix percs are known for providing one of the highest levels of diffusion available.
- The straight can body is sturdy and simple to clean and maintain.

Care And Cleaning Guide
How Do You Clean A Matrix Perc Ash Catcher Effectively?
Keeping your matrix perc ash catcher clean is key for top performance. Because of the small holes in the percolator, we recommend rinsing it regularly. For a deep clean, carefully remove the ash catcher from your water pipe and empty the water. Fill the piece with a solution of 91% or higher isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt. Seal the openings with your hands or cleaning plugs and shake it firmly for 2-3 minutes. The salt acts as a gentle scrubber. Rinse completely with warm water until all alcohol and residue are gone, then let it air dry.
Regular cleaning with isopropyl alcohol and salt will keep your matrix perc working perfectly.
- Use a solution of >91% isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt.
- Shake for 2-3 minutes to scrub away any stubborn residue.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water after you finish cleaning.
