Powerheads

Powerheads are available in a range of sizes to suit different size aquariums and accessories. Some are equipped with a venturi device, which adds a stream of air bubbles to the outgoing flow (but reduces the overall turnover rate). Most have an adjustable output direction, and some have a flow speed control. Charterhouse Aquatics stock a huge range of powerheads available from all the biggest brands including EcoTech Marine, Maxspect, TMC, Jecod, Aqua Medic plus loads loads more

Have Questions About Powerheads?

We have answers. Get quick help for common questions.

1. What does a powerhead do?
A powerhead (or wavemaker) creates water flow in the aquarium. Good flow carries food to corals, removes waste and stops dead spots where detritus can build up.
3. Where should I place a powerhead?
Place it so it creates varied flow across the tank without blasting corals directly. Two pumps on opposite sides, set to alternate, give more natural random flow.
5. How do I clean a powerhead?
Soak it in a mild citric acid or vinegar solution every few months to remove calcium build-up, then rinse well before putting it back in.
2. How much flow does my reef tank need?
Most reef tanks need a total flow of 20 to 50 times the tank volume per hour. SPS corals usually need the higher end, while soft corals need less.
4. Can I control my powerhead?
Many modern pumps have controllers or apps for wave modes, feed pauses and night settings. Check each listing for its control options.

Good to know

Why are some points pending?

Purchase points have an approval period before they become available. Your balance shows available points separately from pending points.

How long do my points last?

When points expiry applies, your balance stays valid for 365 days from qualifying rewards activity. Earning eligible rewards, redeeming points or a balance adjustment renews that window. Simply visiting the shop does not renew it.

Can I use points with my stamp reward?

Yes. Add your 10% stamp reward code at checkout and switch on your points. Your final saving depends on the eligible product total and any other discount restrictions.

What happens if I return something?

Earned points are adjusted for returns. Points used on refunded products are restored proportionally. If a refund takes a qualifying order below £250, its stamp is removed.
