Aquael

Helps prevent the growth of algae: one of the key requirements for algae growth and propagation is the motionlessness of the water. That’s why the best solution to ensure you never need to deal with algae in your aquarium.
Helps the water quality: for the fish to keep alive and healthy, they need an adequate amount of oxygen dissolved in the water – that’s the only way they can breathe. The circulation motion helps oxygen dissolve in the water, and this maintains the water quality and the oxygen levels in the water.
Helps keep the water at a uniform temperature: maintaining the temperature of the water is quite important for the fish’s health. Especially in some delicate and rare species if the temperature isn’t exactly right, the fish will get sick and die. An aquarium heater is good at preventing the tank’s water from getting too hot or too cold, but it fails to ensure that all parts of the tank are uniformly the same temperature – this problem is an even bigger problem in larger aquariums because the heat takes a lot of time to disperse. The circulator alleviates this problem by circulating the hot water quickly and ensuring the aquarium always maintains the same temp every corner of the tank.

That’s why Aquael provides three types of fish tank pumps that are suitable for all types of aquariums. They all use the latest technologies and are tested in laboratories to ensure they are capable of providing the best possible performance for our customers. With offices in more than ten countries, you’ll be able to get our products anywhere in the European Union and around the world.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Aquarium Water pumps?

Aquarium water pumps are specialized pumps that are submerged in an aquarium and use motors to ensure the aquarium has proper water circulation. It is quite popular in medium to larger sized fish tanks.

How Does an Aquarium Pump Work?

How the aquarium pumps work largely depends on the type of aquarium pump and its features. Usually, however, it either uses an air tube to suck in air from outside and push it into the aquarium ensuring sufficient oxygenation and water circulation. In case of a water pump, however, it is submerged in the aquarium and uses some mechanical motor to ensure water movement and circulation from the bottom up.

Does a Fish Tank Pump Go Under the Water?

Not all pumps go underwater, but, however, all of them need to have a part of the pump, at the very least, inside the water. Water pumps are most often completely submerged. Air pumps, on the other hand, can be completely submerged or partially submerged, but in all cases, they have an air tube that needs to be extended above the water to ensure it can suck in air to properly work.

How to Clean Fish Tank Filter Pumps?

Regular water and air pumps rarely need to be cleaned – they’ll probably function even if you clean them once a year. Fish tank pump and filters, on the other hand, need to be cleaned much more often:

You need to turn off the filter and take it out of the tank.
You then disassemble the tank and remove the filters.
If the filter is still in decent shape, you just need to clean all the debris, but if you see that’s difficult to manage, then you need a new filter.
After clearing out the filter, you focus on the other parts and ensure they are all properly clean.
Finally, you reassemble the parts and put it back inside the aquarium.
