Aquarium System Maxi-Jet Powerhead Review
 |
DESCRIPTION Maxi-Jet®PH pump and power head is ideal for powering undergravel filters or creating internal water movement from its fully rotational output. The Maxi-Jet®PH incorporates a venturi aeration device to provide optimal aeration and gas exchange in the aquarium. A silencer keeps the venturi aeration device operating quietly. An adjustable air filter permits the user to fine-tune air volume and water mixing as desired. The intake tube adapter with prefilter screen prevents gravel or loose material in the aquarium from getting into the pump. Maxi-Jet®PH pump and power head includes an innovative triple-suction cup mount, an adjustable hook with cable guide, and a grid support for optional foam cartridge, and comes in a complete range of sizes. |
| REVIEW Maxi Jet Power heads are powerful, reliable and economical. This is a good cheap alternative to the more expensive of powerheads and they are one of the few that can withstand the constant on/off strain of being used with wave making devices. They are easy to clean and also very silent in full flow mode (no aeration). It doesnt heat up my tank as the Aqua Clear from Hagens which makes it a great pump for smaller tanks. I use this pump for mixing saltwater, moving water from a tank to an other and to create water movement in my tank. Unfortunately, the suction cups fail easily so I use the hook (included) to hang it over the side of my aquarium. Care must be taken with invertebrates because many won’t like direct flow. |

I still use the first Maxi-Jet I bought 6 years ago! It last forever!
