The low voltage, safe air pump provides the bubble supply that
powers the filter system and assists with oxygen diffusion in the
aquarium. It is essential the air pump is left running permanently.
Reef One biUbe and biOrb aquariums incorporate two one way valves
to prevent water draining back down the air line; however, it is
safer to place the air pump above the level of the aquarium water
line.
The air pump is designed to run as silently as possible but due
to its pumping action internal vibration will be transmitted as
noise if the air pump body touches surrounding objects.
As the air pump is essential to maintain water quality and runs
continuously 24 hours a day, it is advisable to keep a spare in
the event of failure.
Air pumps are available in 12Volt 50 Hz and 12 volt 60 Hz versions. |
