Rio Aqua Pumps and Filters

Water circulation is important to a healthy closed aquatic environment. Without it, the system can become unstable, leading to the growth of algae and other unhealthy substances. This is true for marine and freshwater environments.

The most efficient way to move the water is by using a pump and/or powerhead. Fortunately, hobbyists can choose the right pump and powerhead for their aquarium from the full range of Rio Aqua Pumps/Powerheads and Internal Filters, which are designed to work in a variety of aquatic environments.

All Rio products offer high performance at an affordable price.

They use the finest in modern technology and materials to create the best pumps and powerheads in the industry. The ceramic shaft and durable high-impact plastic make the pump reliable and long lasting. Magnetic rotor technology offers low maintenance and high reliability and because it does not use oil, it cannot contaminate your aquarium environment.

Although the Rio delivers a high flow rate with tremendous pressure capability, it is quiet to operate. The fully submersible Rio Aqua Pumps can be used to operate wet-dry and under-gravel filters, venturi protein skimmers, fluidised bed filters and any other equipment that requires a pumped water supply.

Rio Aqua pumps can also be used as return pumps for sump tanks below the aquarium or within the aquarium itself, wherever circulation is required, in both fresh and salt water.

Because the Rio Aqua Pumps / Powerheads come in a range of sizes, you can choose the right Rio for your aquatic environment - one that circulates the water efficiently, but not too violently for small or slow creatures. All sizes are highly efficient and fully submersible.

Rio Internal Power Filters use a high efficiency Rio Aqua Pump to operate a high performance internal filter. All units feature interlocking chambers with the ability to accept many different types of media. Further compartments can be added as your requirements for the filter change.

Rio Accessories & Spares

All Rio Aqua Pumps and Internal Power Filters include directional outlet fittings, valves, under-gravel filter connections, mounting brackets and suction cups. In addition, a full range of accessories and spare parts is available to enhance your Rio Aqua Pump and ensure a long service life.
