Aquarium filters do not use a lot of electricity.
Generally, filter water pumps are commonly used with 5W-40W. One kilowatt hour of electricity is equivalent to 1,000 watts/hour. A 40W filter water pump runs 24 hours a day at 40 x 24. =960 watts/hour in less than a day. In fact, the most energy-consuming part per kilowatt hour is the heating rod, which is usually 200 to 500 W. Fortunately, heating rods are generally only used in winter.
The flow of water into the filter cotton from the aquarium should not be too large to avoid excessive impact on the filter cotton.
It depends on the size of the water flow entering the filter material from the aquarium, mainly the upper filter of the aquarium, because it involves the water pump directly feeding water to the cotton filtering. Therefore, the water flow should not be too muchimportant. Once the water flow is too large, the water flow will continuously impact the filter cotton like a high-pressure water gun. Not only will the filtering effect be lost, but the water flow will also be lost. The lifespan of the filter cotton will also be significantly reduced.
If the water flow is too large, it will easily cause excessive water accumulation in the upper filter tank, which will also cause the filter cotton to lose its function. Even the slightest filtration effect will be lost. , and the impurities will directly enter the aquarium. Therefore, the aquarium must be filled with water. There will be small floating particles.
