Have Questions About D-D Funktion Pumps?
We have answers. Get quick help for common questions.
What types of pumps are included in the D-D Funktion range?
The Funktion range includes Wave Pumps for in-tank water movement and DC Return Pumps for sump-to-display circulation. Both are controllable, energy-efficient, and suitable for marine and freshwater aquariums.
Which models are available and what sizes do they cover?
Wave Pumps come in four sizes: FPW3000, FPW4000, FPW10000, and FPW13000, providing flows from 3,000 to 13,000 L/H. DC Return Pumps are available in five sizes: FP2000, FP3500, FP5000, FP6500, and FP10000, providing flows from 2,000 to 10,000 L/H. This ensures options for everything from small nano aquariums to large reef systems.
Can Funktion pumps be used in saltwater and freshwater aquariums?
Yes. All Funktion pumps are built for versatility, making them ideal for marine reef aquariums, fish-only systems, and freshwater planted tanks or aquascapes.
What safety features do the pumps have?
Funktion pumps include run-dry protection with automatic shutdown to prevent damage, and Wave Pumps come with an optional fish/anemone guard to protect livestock from the pump inlet.
How do I choose the right Funktion pump for my aquarium?
Match the pump model to your aquarium’s size and flow requirements. For Wave Pumps, select a model that delivers 20–40 times your tank’s volume per hour (depending on livestock type). For Return Pumps, aim for 5–10x turnover of your display tank volume per hour.
What is the difference between Funktion Wave Pumps and DC Return Pumps?
Wave Pumps are designed to create adjustable water movement inside the tank with modes like Pulse, Wave, and Storm. DC Return Pumps are used to move water from your sump back into the display aquarium, with controllable flow settings for precise adjustment.
Are Funktion pumps quiet in operation?
Yes. Both Wave and Return Pumps use low-voltage motors with ceramic shafts and cushioned magnetic mounts to reduce noise and vibration. They are designed to be silent and efficient, making them suitable even for aquariums in living spaces.
What flow modes are included in the Wave Pump range?
Wave Pumps feature four flow modes: Pump (constant), Pulse (alternating flow), Wave (sine-wave), and Storm (randomised chaotic flow). These modes allow you to replicate natural reef conditions or create customised circulation patterns.
Can Funktion Return Pumps be installed externally?
Yes. Larger return pump models (FP5000, FP6500, FP10000) can be used either submerged in a sump or externally, offering flexible plumbing options.
Do the pumps come with fittings and accessories?
Yes. Funktion pumps include multiple hose and pipe adapters for flexible installation. Wave Pumps also include a fish guard, and Return Pumps include an “Elephant Nose” suction attachment to reduce vortexing and improve water intake.
