Filters

Hi all,

I was just wondering arn't there any filters that works with batterys?

 

Your sponge filters work off airpumps. You can get an airpump that runs for about 4-6 hours off batteries.

 

Where can this filters be found and whats there make name, Zoom. This will definatly help when we get a unexpected power out.

 

Most stores stock battery pumps of different sizes and brands. They should also stock some sponge filters as well.

 

Just ask for a sponge filter. THey are the most common of the filters. They get used a lot for the very small tanks. ANd a battery operated airpump is also very common.

 

The problem you'll run into is that there's no such thing as a relay-activated battery air pump. You have to switch them on manually

 

Ok thanks will certainly have to get one.

 

You get a fancier type of air pump that has battery backup should the power fail, they are expensive though +/-R800....

 

I bought a standard cheapo battery pump for R45 at Animal Kingdom Atterbury, and now I'm on the hunt for a 220v relay that I can use to switch it on automatically when the power goes out.
