What is the use of fish tank water pump?

A fish tank water pump is a device used to circulate water and is mainly used to help keep the water quality in the fish tank clean and stable. Its main function is to pump and filter the water body to maintain sufficient oxygen in the water, eliminate harmful substances, and provide a healthy living environment for fish.

The uses of fish tank water pumps can be divided into the following aspects:

  1. Oxygen supply: The fish tank water pump can increase the oxygen content of the water in the fish tank through the stirring effect of the water flow. When the water in the fish tank remains stationary for a long time, the oxygen dissolved in the water will gradually decrease, so that the fish in the water cannot get enough oxygen supply, causing suffocation or even death. The water pump can mix air and water by generating water flow, increasing the oxygen content and providing a good living environment.

2. Water circulation: The fish tank water pump can help circulate the water flow in the fish tank. The circulation of water flow can excrete waste and harmful substances produced by fish metabolism and prevent them from accumulating in the water. At the same time, the circulation of water flow can also bring suspended matter such as feed to the filter for processing, keeping the water quality clean. Water circulation can also help distribute water temperature evenly and avoid environmental changes caused by temperature differences.

 3. Filtration function: The fish tank water pump can be used with the filter to filter impurities in the water. Harmful substances such as fish feces and residues will be produced in the fish tank. If these substances are not treated in time, they will lead to a decline in water quality and harm the living environment of the fish. The filter can remove these harmful substances through physical, chemical or biological means, and the water pump plays the role of driving the water flow, allowing the water to flow through the filter to achieve the purpose of purifying water quality.
