1.What is an Aeration Pump?
Aeration pumps are mainly used in places such as aquariums, fish ponds or aquarium systems, where their role is to inject oxygen into water bodies. Through the oxygen pump, the oxygen content in the water can be increased, the respiration and metabolism of aquatic organisms can be promoted, and the healthy growth of aquatic organisms can be maintained. In addition, aeration pumps can also improve water quality, reduce the accumulation of harmful gases in the water body, and help maintain the balance of the aquarium ecosystem.
2.Structure and classification of aeration pumps
Aeration pumps are usually made up of the following main components:
2.1. Motor: The main component that drives the aeration pump, usually an electric motor or air motor.
2.2 Air pump body: The component used to draw air in and convey it to the water through the pipe, usually including air intake, exhaust, etc.
2.3 Filter: used to filter impurities in the air and protect the parts of the pump body to ensure that the oxygen delivered to the water is clean.
2.4 Shock absorbing pads: used to reduce vibration and noise, usually located at the bottom of the pump body.
The types of aeration pumps include air pumps and oxygen pumps. An air pump passes through compressed air and injects it into the water to increase the oxygen content in the water. Oxygen pumps, on the other hand, inject pure oxygen directly into the water body. In addition, depending on the use scenario, there are different shapes and power aeration pumps to meet the needs of different breeding environments. An aeration pump usually refers to an air pump that increases the amount of oxygen in the water by compressing and injecting air into it. The role of this pump is to provide enough oxygen to maintain the respiration and metabolism of the aquarium organisms. On the other hand, an oxygen pump is a device that injects pure oxygen directly into a body of water, usually for specific farming occasions or situations where higher oxygen concentrations are required.
3.How do I get rid of the buzz of the aeration pump?
The hum of the aeration pump usually comes from the operation of the motor and the vibration of the air pump. When the motor is running, it produces a mechanical humming sound, while the air pump also vibrates and conducts noise to the surroundings when it is working. In addition, if the components of the aerator pump are aged or used improperly, it can also lead to the generation of noise. Therefore, regular cleaning and maintenance of your aeration pump, as well as the proper use of shock-absorbing pads, can help reduce the generation of hum.
To get rid of the buzz of your aeration pump, you can try the following:
3.1 Cleaning and Maintenance: Make sure the parts and filters of the aeration pump are clean and maintain them regularly to ensure its proper operation.
3.2 Position adjustment: Place the aeration pump on a stable surface and avoid direct contact with other objects to reduce the generation of vibration and hum.
3.3 Use Shock Absorbing Pads: Using shock absorbing pads at or around the bottom of the aeration pump can reduce vibration transmission and thus reduce noise.
3.4 Replace aging parts: If some parts of the aeration pump are aging or damaged, consider replacing these parts to reduce the generation of hum.
