Code: HAG586Aquaclear PowerheadUndergravel filtration system use a powerful submerged internal pump unit to circulate water down through the gravel, under the interlocking filter plates and up a riser stem top the pump unit where the cleaned water is aerated by means of venture air tube. This system utilises the gravel on the bottom of the tank, and the bacterial colonies that thrive there, as a biological and mechanical filter for the removal of particles of waste. The bacteria in the gravel break down debris. Aquarium Rim Attachment fits easily to standard aquarium rims. Solid, durable, compact pump construction. Epoxy sealed motor. Hermetically isolated from water. Fully submersible. Fully Variable Output Control Suction Cup Bracket allows custom and deep installations. Noise Suppressor Air Filter quietly removes airbourne contaminants before they can pollute. Free Floating Impeller. "Venturi" Aeration Device increases surface agitation and gas exchange efficiency.220 - 240 vOutput without air: 476 Litres 104 gallons / hourOutput with air: 416 Litres 91 gallons / hourRecommended Aquarium (1 Powerhead) 75 Litres/16 gallons - (2 Powerheads) 150 Litres 33 gallonsAdding a powerhead to an undergravel system increases water flow through a gravel substrate and improves its filtering efficiency. It also oxygenates water and, in the process, provides needed oxygen to colonies of beneficial bacteria in the gravel which optimizes their biological filtration capabilities.Keeps the substrate cleaner by forcing debris to the top.Easily fitted to most undergravel systems. Powerhead comes equipped with a tapered riser stem adapter which accepts 13mm / 1/2" to 28.5mm / 1.125" tubing. Rim clamp firmly holds it in place atop the riser stem and an optional suction cup bracket which allows the unit to hang from an aquarium wall instead of the rim.
