on most well pumps the check valve is built into the head of the pump right where the pipe connects to the pump. if it does not have abuilt in valve it will be connected to the top of the pump with a pipe nipple
I’ve got an 11 UK Gallon tank with 15 small fish, neons, cherry barbs and 1 clown loach in. Also about 6 plants in too.
How long should i leave the air pump on for? Should it be 24 hours or just as long as the light is on?
I’ve got a filter on 24 hours, just wondering if the air pump is ment to be on constantly too.
Had the tank 2 years and i normally leave air pump on for a few hours a day.
So long as you have adequate lighting then the plants should contribute some oxygen through photosynthesis, however the surface agitation produced by the filter outlet will provide around 90% of the fishes dissolved oxygen demands.
Unless it’s for aesthetic reasons then I wouldn’t really bother running the air pump.
To Whoo: While the Clown loach will definitely need a larger tank, a maximum size of 60cm/24" is exaggerated. These fish normally grow no larger than half this size.
Hi, I have a water pressure pump connected to a large water tank on a holiday shack. It runs from a 600W/800W modified square wave inverter. When I plug it in, I can hear the motor running but it is not pumping any water. This is a pump that has a pressure bladder sitting on top of it. The noise it makes is quite loud, but I can’t see that anything is moving (when looking at the end, there is some kind of cooling fan that looks to be connected to the main drive that is stationary, it looks like it wants to move, but isnt getting anywhere). The tank is full and on the same level as the pump/shack. Without the pump running, I can turn on a tape and water dribbles out, so I am thinking this is not an issue with priming etc. From what I understand, the modified square wave input should be fine too. Any ideas as to what I should check/what may be wrong? Any traps to look out for if I get a qualified peron to fix it? Am thinking I may be better of replacing with a cheap pump?
My water pressure was low as yours….and luckily, I had a handyman talk me thru the procedure via phone. I have a different system..as I have a well. But the problem turned out to be a pressure regulator switch…(every time ya turn water on/off..this activates). The switch, sits on top of the pressure tank (you wouldn’t believe how many guys tried to get me to believe my tank itself was shot and more $$). So anyways, it may be just a switch. I would lean towards a person that services sump pumps rather than your whole system…as well companies are hard to come by in my area. You may need a pump, but it may only be the switch itself.
Hi to Tech. guys. We have one well pump installed newly to pump out
sea water near shore. it’s real capacity is 100 Cu. M / Hour and 80 M head. Right now we put the pump in 12 inch casing, in depth of 36 M.
I am getting 112 Cu. M per hour. The problem is , This well is not enough to give this much water continously. I want to regulate by closing the discharge valve but the Current of motor is increasing.
i need only 100 Cu. M. When I reduce flow, why this current is increasing? I could not understand it. This pump is originally 30 Kw or we say 40 Hp pump. Initially the current is around 56 A with 415 Volt , 3 ph but after closing the valve to 15%(85% valve open) the current is 60 A. Please any one can explain it? V. Kannan
Why are you pumping breast milk out to the sea water?
Someone told me there needs to be a direct water source going to a garden pond. Can’t I just clean it out and refill it with the garden hose? Also, if electricity is hard to come by in the area, can you buy solar powered pumps?
No and yes.
I have a pond that is not supplied by anything but rainwater. I also have a solar powered pump, very small but it oxygenates the water (along with an oxygenating plant) sufficiently enough to sustain 6 fish, tadpoles/frogs etc.
Do not top up with the hosepipe as tapwater is treated. Use rainwater froma rain water butt if it gets really low.
