Fluval Pump for Saltwater, SP4

The list of outstanding properties and functions of pumps from the Fluval SP series is long. But what does "SP" stand for? Professionals know immediately what is being talked about when it comes to seawater and reefs in the aquarium - namely sump pumps. We recommend beginners to research the topic a little, as it would go beyond the scope here. (More information under "Interesting facts about seawater aquariums and sump pumps")

In any case, sump pumps ensure that the water is fed into the protein skimmer and to other devices. A high-quality sump pump is important for the life of your fish and corals. And here we come to the topic: The Fluval SEA SP-Series sump pumps are specially designed for use in seawater environments, they generate a strong water flow at different heights in your aquarium.

The clever design with energy-saving technology ensures optimal pump performance. The impeller and bearings are made of aluminium oxide ceramic, which has a higher wear resistance, which prevents limescale deposits and extends the service life of the pump. The electronic monitoring and control of the engine in turn ensures optimal, smooth operation.

So far so good. Now a few more special features:

• Threaded inlet / outlet and hose connector
• Use in water and outside possible.
• Works on the basis of a drive magnet.
• Motor sits on the head of the device
• Low heat generation with low energy consumption
• Including hose connections (hose nozzles)
• Very quiet operation

Oliver Knott recommends:
Always pay attention to the manufacturer's instructions when buying each pump. Most of the time it says exactly what they were made for. In this case, it is a hint for use in saltwater aquariums and reef aquariums - many pumps are not suitable for this.
