The SunSun JP-022F aquarium pump combines an aquarium filter and a circulation pump in one unit.

Circulation pumps play an important role in aquaristics, especially in saltwater aquariums, as corals and some fish depend on a natural current. They simulate this natural flow in the aquarium. Often, circulation pumps are installed in opposing directions to create a diffuse current.

The currents generated by the aquarium pump limit the settling of unwanted sediments on the aquarium's substrate. The outlet nozzle, measuring 13 mm, can be tilted 45° to the left and right, allowing for optimal placement in the aquarium. Additionally, fresh air can be supplied to the aquarium water through a hose connected to the outlet nozzle.

The pump performance is 600 l/h and can be used in aquariums with a water volume of approximately 80 liters. The wear-free stainless steel shaft ensures a long lifespan for the aquarium pump.

The integrated aquarium filter features two filter stages, which can be easily replaced or mounted individually. Each filter stage contains a filter sponge that provides a large surface area for beneficial bacteria. Furthermore, the filter sponges prevent suspended particles from entering the pump body of the aquarium pump. By using filter sponges, the nitrate levels in the aquarium are reduced, and the aquarium water is purified from chemical contaminants.

When acquiring a new aquarium filter or after a complete cleaning, the beneficial bacteria must be replenished. There are special bacterial cultures that can be added to the aquarium filter to facilitate the startup process.
