Schego Ideal Single Outlet Air Pump 150L/hr 5W

Air for life: membrane pumps
Life in the aquarium is inconceivable without oxygen. Apart from further prerequisites such as heat and light, Schego membrane pumps contribute decisively to an aquarium becoming a habitat. Air is life.

Oxygen is vitally necessary for fish and primitive sea species in the aquarium, for they have no CO2 respiration. Leading experts also recommend oxygen as remedy for the regeneration of diseased fish. Nevertheless, pure oxygen should not be provided as this can act toxically. Schego offers membrane pumps for aeration or use in filter systems and protein skimmers. This guarantees keeping the animals in a species-appropriate environment in the aquarium.
All Schego membrane pumps work extremely reliably in continuous operation and are characterized by very quiet running, they have little vibration and are stable. Thanks to more than 70 years experience, high-quality and careful processing are a matter of course – naturally ”Made in Germany”.
Different performance types with an air delivery of 100 l/h to 350 l/h are available. Long-life
membranes, easily changeable prefilters, transparent housing with suspension are additional plus points with all Schego membrane pumps.

These pumps have been developed for fish and live foods transport. Fish suffer from lack of oxygen during long lasting transports, especially in the summer months, so that the tanks must be aerated. Connecting the air pump to the car battery or to the cigarette lighter is suitable in this case. Therefore the approved 12 V pumps are available with a mounted car battery plug.
In recent years power supply by means of solar cells, especially in the leisure area, has become increasingly popular. Schego pumps in combination with solar cells are very well suited for this application and have proved their worth.

The Schego Ideal Single Outlet Air Pump 150 L/hr 5W is an excellent air pump from the German manufacturer Schego, known for its quality and durability in aquarium and even industrial applications. It's a step up in power from the Prima model.

Key Features:

• Single Outlet: Designed for a single air line, providing focused aeration.
• Air Output: 150 liters per hour (L/hr) at 0.5 meters water column (mWC), or 170 L/hr at 0 mWC. This is a higher output than the Prima model.
• Quiet Operation: Like all Schego pumps, the Ideal is highly regarded for its quiet running and minimal vibration.
• Long-life Membranes: Equipped with durable membranes that ensure a prolonged lifespan.
• Easily Changeable Prefilters: Maintenance is straightforward, with prefilters that can be easily accessed and replaced.
• Transparent Housing with Suspension: The clear casing allows for easy visual inspection, and it typically comes with a suspension hook for flexible mounting.
• "Made in Germany": Schego boasts over 70 years of experience, emphasizing high-quality manufacturing and careful processing.
• Energy Efficient: Despite its higher output, it maintains a relatively low power consumption of 5 Watts.

Specifications:

• Dimensions (L x W x H): Approximately 130 x 70 x 50 mm.
• Flow Adjustment: None (fixed output).
• Max Pressure: 2.0 mWC (0.1961 bar / 2.845 psi), allowing it to push air deeper into the water compared to the Prima.
• Power Consumption: 5 Watts.
• Noise Level: 41 dbA, similar to the Prima, indicating it's still very quiet.
• Operating Voltage: 220-240V/50Hz (for Australian market, with an Australian plug).
• Cable Length: 1 meter.

Considerations:

• Non-return Valve: As with any air pump, it is crucial to install a non-return valve (check valve) on the air hose. This prevents water from siphoning back into the pump if there's a power outage, which could damage the pump and void its warranty.
• Aquarium Size: With its 150 L/hr output, the Schego Ideal is suitable for a range of aquarium sizes, typically recommended for aquariums up to 150 liters.
• Applications: Besides general aeration to provide vital oxygen for fish and aquatic life, it can also be effectively used to power sponge filters, air stones, and protein skimmers.
