Why Choose an Air Pump with Battery Backup?
Maintaining oxygen levels is important for fish health, shrimp health, and beneficial bacteria. During a power outage, filters and water movement may stop, which can quickly lower oxygen levels in the aquarium.
An air pump with battery backup helps keep air moving when power is interrupted. This makes it especially useful for heavily stocked tanks, fish rooms, breeding setups, quarantine systems, and aquariums with sponge filters.

Setup & Use Tips
Connect the air pump to airline tubing and your preferred sponge filter, air stone, or aeration accessory. Use a check valve to help prevent aquarium water from siphoning back into the air pump.
Keep the battery charged and test the backup function periodically so it is ready during a power outage. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for charging, operation, and maintenance.
