When choosing an aeration pump suitable for a koi aquarium, the following aspects need to be considered:
Power and Output Capacity: The power and output capacity of the aeration pump are important factors to consider when making a choice. On the premise of the same output capacity, choosing a product with a lower power can save on electricity bills. For example, an aeration pump with an output capacity of 7.2L/min only consumes 5W of electricity, which is more energy-efficient compared to other similar products.
Silent Design: The aeration pump will produce a certain amount of noise when it is working. To reduce noise interference, you can place a hard foam plastic board under the aeration pump. In addition, choosing an aeration pump with a single or double air holes can also help reduce the noise.
Applicable Scenarios: For a koi aquarium, it is also important to choose the appropriate type of aeration pump. The electromagnetic vibration air pump is suitable for general household and small-scale aquarium breeding, while the motor-driven air pump is suitable for large and multiple groups of fish tanks.
Precautions for Using and Maintaining the Aeration Pump:
Power Supply Voltage and Frequency: Ensure that the voltage of the aeration pump is 220V and the frequency is 50Hz to avoid damage caused by improper use.
Waterproof and Shockproof: The aeration pump should be kept away from water immersion and direct sunlight. When in use, it should be placed at a position more than 20CM above the water level to prolong its service life.
Regular Inspection: Regularly check the connecting air plates, air nozzles and other components on the aeration pump to ensure that there is no water accumulation or debris and that the air pipe is unobstructed.
By considering and choosing according to the above aspects, you can ensure that a suitable aeration pump is selected for the koi aquarium, thus guaranteeing the healthy growth of the koi.
