Water Circulation is important to a healthy closed aquatic environment. Without it, the system can become unstable, leading to the growth of algae and other unhealthy substances. This is true for both freshwater and saltwater. The most efficient way to move the water is by using a pump and/or power head.
Rio Plus Aquarium Water Pumps/Power heads are high performance, yet priced for the hobbyist. Desinged with next generation magnetic-rotor technology, the Rio® Plus Aqua Pumps and Power heads offer the best high-performance solution in the aquarium industry. The ceramic shaft and durable high-impact plastic make the pump reliable and long lasting. Magnetic rotor technology offers low maintenance and high reliability. And, although the Rio Plus delivers a high flow rate with tremendous pressure capability, it is quiet to operate.
The largest and most powerful models provide excellent performance within wet or dry filters and in venturi protein skimmers when high pressure and flow rates are needed. Reliable and quiet, Rio® Plus Aqua Pumps and Power heads do not use oil to operate so they cannot contaminate the aquatic environment
Other features of the Rio® Plus Aqua Pump and optional power head include energy efficiency, low-heat operation and a flow rate intended to keep electric bills low.
The fully submersible Rio® can be used in both freshwater and saltwater.
