Aquael Check Valve (102635)
The Aquael Check Valve is a useful accessory designed to protect aquarium equipment, particularly air pumps, from damage caused by water backflow. This small, yet essential device is typically installed on the airline tubing between the air pump and the air stone or other air-driven equipment.
The Aquael Check Valve has the following specifications:
- Type: One-way (non-return) valve
- Material: Durable plastic
- Airline Tubing Compatibility: Standard 4/6 mm airline tubing (most common size in aquarium setups)
- Dimensions: Approximately 4-5 cm in length (compact design)
- Functionality: Prevents water backflow into air pumps during power outages or pump failure
- Use Case: Suitable for all freshwater and marine aquarium setups that use air-driven equipment such as air stones, sponge filters, or bubble walls
- Installation Position: Installed in the airline tubing between the air pump and the air-driven accessory
- Maximum Pressure: Designed for typical aquarium air pump pressures (check the specific model of air pump for compatibility)
- Durability: Designed for long-term use in aquarium environments
These specifications make it a great protective accessory for air pump systems in a wide variety of aquarium setups.
Key Features:
-
Prevents Water Backflow: The check valve ensures that water doesn’t siphon back into the air pump in the event of a power failure or when the air pump is placed below the water level, which can happen in aquariums with certain setups.
-
Easy Installation: It can be easily connected to standard airline tubing, making it user-friendly and convenient for any aquarium setup.
-
Compact Design: The valve is small and discreet, making it a good choice for both beginner and advanced aquarists.
-
Durable Construction: Aquael products are known for their durability, and this check valve is no exception. It is made of sturdy plastic that can handle constant use without wear.
-
Affordable: It is a cost-effective solution to prevent damage to expensive air pumps, making it a smart investment for aquarium owners.
Why You Need a Check Valve:
In cases where the air pump is positioned below the aquarium, there is a risk of water siphoning back when the pump is turned off, potentially damaging the pump. The check valve serves as a barrier, allowing air to flow in only one direction—toward the aquarium—preventing water from flowing back.
Overall, the Aquael Check Valve is a small but essential accessory for maintaining the longevity of your air pump and ensuring smooth operation in your aquarium system.
