This handy lightweight pump is perfect to fill and drain your aquarium. With the addition of a hose this can be used to drain your aquarium or to fill it. as part of their weekly routine many people like to drain a bucket from their aquarium and then replace it with fresh water. This pump will do both. This pump is completely identical in dimensions and details to much more expensive branded items except for the colour and price. The item has a 3/4 inch female thread at the top and a 3/4 inch male thread at the side. The base of the pump is a simple on or off twist attachment. Twist one way to fill - twist the other way and pull downwards to drain. If required the base can be simply removed. When draining an aquarium this needs to be attached to a tap with flowing water. The water falls into the sink or a drain. This causes suction at the side pipe. A hose can be connected to the side pipe and use to drain liquids from a fish tank or similar. This is especially useful when no height difference is available to otherwise siphon the water. This can be easily used to create the suction need for gravel cleaners The power of the pump is a function of your tap power. Using a shorter hose running straight will maximise the pressure available. The trickiest aspect of this device is to get a good connection to your tap without cross threading it. So be patient take your time and once you get it working properly you will find it very useful.
