biOrb Aquarium Air Pump, Airstone and One Way Valve Kit

Description

BiOrb Air Pump Kit contains all you need to replace or add an air pump to your aquarium set up. The BiOrb Air Pump is a vital part of your tank system, it helps to add the essential oxygen the fish need to stay healthy and is a reliable unit designed to operate constantly 24 hours a day. Ideal for use as a replacement pump in any biOrb aquarium, but is also suitable for other tank brands. The Air pump is a safe and low voltage replacement straight from BiOrb and is simple to replace, simply unplug the old one and plug in a new. Provided with the Air Pump is a One Way Valve. It is always advised to have a one way valve connected to your airline between your aquarium air pump and the outlet point. This prevents water back siphoning through the airline and causing damage to the air pump (most common during a power outage). And is especially recommended in set-ups where the air pump is positioned below the fish tank. So it is vital to check the valve (every 6 months) to ensure it is still in order and is not leaking water. The One Way Valve is provided with 1m of Airline tubing. To finish of the kit, also included is a BiOrb Air stone. The airstone sits in the base of the BiOrb underneath the filter cartridge. Its job is to help diffuse the movement of water and create the bubbles that flow up the bubble tube and disperse oxygen around the tank. Over time the tiny pores in the air stone can become blocked by dirt and lime scale preventing air from getting through properly.Please Note - this is the Original AC Version and will not work with newer DC Tanks (DC tanks have a white Air pump and Transformer)
