All aquarists know that fish require oxygen to live. What is not so obvious is that the bacteria that form part of the biological filtration process also require a good oxygen level to be able to perform correctly and keep your water to the desired quality.

It is becoming ever more popular for air pumps to be used to raise oxygen levels in filters. This increases the biomass which in turn enhances the overall performance of the filter resulting in better water quality and healthier fish. The Yamitsu Hi-Flow Professional Pond Air Pump is capable of providing sufficient pressure at an output of 50 litres per minute at a depth of 4 feet. This makes it suitable for large ponds and large aquariums.

It is supplied complete from the manufacturers with two spare diaphragms, two inlet valve assemblies and a high quality chrome manifold with ten individual tap.
