To buy a suitable oxygen pump for the fish tank is necessary to ensure that ornamental fish can grow healthily. In the purchase of oxygenation pumps, first of all, we should distinguish whether it is a regular manufacturer, and secondly, we should observe whether the shell of the oxygenation pump is broken, whether the wire is off, whether there is a leakage of electricity and gas. Oxygenator pump is generally a single hole or double hole is good, the air outlet hole does not have to be too much, so that if there is damage to the repair is also convenient. If there is noise from the pump, fill a piece of hard foam board under the pump to effectively reduce noise interference. It is best to choose a single-orifice or double-orifice oxygenation pump, and according to the water quality and the amount of fish, adjust the use of time appropriately.
Selection of two aspects need to pay attention to
The first item is the voltage and frequency, in this regard, as long as you remember to pick the voltage of 220V, the frequency is 50Hz can be.
The second item is power, for this parameter, many people will not think. But a considerable part of the people, both oxygen pumps and submersible pumps, are in accordance with this parameter to measure whether the pump is enough. The so-called wattage, however, is only an energy consumption marking and does not represent anything. Therefore, in the case of the same output, we choose the smaller the wattage of the product, in the future use of the more energy-saving, the smaller the cost of electricity. For example, the output of 7.2L/min, but the power consumption is only 5W, under the premise of the same output, compared with other similar products on the market, the power consumption is definitely greater than 5W, which can be seen, this is a quite energy-saving oxygen pump.
Oxygen pump use
The oxygen pump does not need to be on all day, the time it is used depends on the water quality and the number of fish in the aquarium. In the case of good water quality, small number of fish and seldom appear hypoxia, the oxygen pump can be less open or only in the evening to open one or two hours. In summer, when the water temperature in the tank is high, you can extend the time of the oxygen pump, which can prevent the damage caused by the long working time of the oxygen pump. In addition, but also often check the oxygen pump connected to the air plate, the head of the plastic tube with or without water, debris, once found, should be cleaned up in time, so as to ensure that the air pipe is smooth.
