Information
AquaClear Powerhead is a multifunctional pump that delivers outstanding performance in a variety of applications. It efficiently drives undergravel filters, circulates and aerates aquarium water. It attaches to filtration accessories like AquaClear Quick Filter.
It can also be connected to drive protein skimmers, which are essential devices for most marine aquariums.
Using a Powerhead in combination with an AquaClear Quick Filter provides additional safe mechanical filtration for cleaner water conditions and the protection of baby fish.
Powerhead 30 includes many design, safety and utility innovations: compact, energy-efficient, completely submersible motor unit insulated in epoxy resin; adjustable flow control; a venturi feature for additional aeration and greater air output than most vibrator pumps; a vertical/horizontal output diverter; venturi aeration valve that raises oxygen levels, which is important when water temperature or fish population increases, or during disease treatment, adjustable flow control; a stem adapter; convenient suction cups for easy installation; and an output hose adapter to permit easy attachment to protein skimmers, spray bars, and other accessories. Powerhead 30 is indispensable in smaller reef aquariums, it can easily be hidden and still provide highly beneficial currents. Freshwater aquariums also benefit from additional currents in many applications.
Powerhead 50 & 70 includes the following design, safety and utility innovations: a compact, energy-efficient, and completely submersible motor, insulated in epoxy resin to protect against harsh fresh and salt water environments; a venturi aeration feature which increases surface agitation and gas exchange; a convenient rim attachment bracket that fits easily on most standard aquarium rims, flow control, and a unique reverse flow feature that forces water down the undergravel riser stem and beneath the gravel. This helps promote bacterial growth from the bottom up. Injection of oxygen-rich water beneath the undergravel bed supports superior conditions for beneficial nitrifying bacteria.
