Powerhead Question...

[Moosetache]

Ok, there is a pump that has a rotating head on it to create water flow over a much wider area and with changing direction....can anyone tell me what that product is called. I saw one in my LFS, but did not get a name on it.

thanks

Koralia

I think you may be talking about ZooMed's Power Sweep?

You could also be talking about the Sea Swirl which takes the output from a return pump and changes direction by 90 degrees every minute.

Well, its not the Power Sweep....what I am talking about swirls around, not back and forth....I havent seen the function I am talking about on the Koralia, but I am still looking at the different models to make sure.

Is this what your talking about?

Ok, well, I see an illustration that is sort of what I saw at the LFS....just want to make sure that it rotates on its own and not that it is just capable of pointing in any direction.

Ahh...Crossi, you are a genius. That is exactly what I was talking about. Thanks for locating that for me......

Unfortunately didnt realize it was not usable on pumps over 310 gph. Guess I will just get one of those and a couple other Koralia for the corners.....too much on my 65?

Never ran BB, but I'd imagine that a couple K3's would probably be fine. VorTech makes a killer propeller pump too which is worth looking into

What powerhead are you going to put it on?

I had for each of my Aquaclear 70's they worked great till the head was pushed off the gear from the warer pressure..My bad on that one :rolleye1:
