These highly versatile, submersible pumps are energy efficient and can be used in numerous applications. AquaClear Powerheads are designed with numerous features to provide optimal performance for most installations. Complete with ceramic shafts, venturi control valves, hose adapter, Duragrip suction mounts, and more, these units can be used to:
  1. Drive protein skimmers and wet/dry filters.
  2. Drive undergravel filters (provide superior flow rates through gravel bed).
  3. Mix and prepare water for partial water changes (ideal for mixing salt water).
  4. Provide current for reef tanks and other applications (easy to hide in rock structure).
  5. Attach to Quick Filters for additional chemical and/or mechanical filtration (ideal for clearing cloudy water in combination with PClear).
  6. Increase oxygen level (position output to move water surface).
  7. Back-flushing of gravel for maintenance with 402 and 802 (Reverse Flow Feature).

AquaClear Powerhead Undergravel Filter Pumps
increase flow rates for greater water movement
and higher oxygen levels.

Powerheads provide a superior method of driving undergravel filters, helping to improve biological filtration efficiency through optimal flow rates and greater oxygen levels. AquaClear Powerheads require little maintenance other than periodic cleaning of the impeller and its housing, and provide trouble free long-term performance.
