Does this work well for sand sub straight too?
Answer by ChewyJan 19, 2020
This product is suitable for sand substrate.

does this need to be hooked up to faucet or just a manual pump
Answer by ChewyNov 03, 2020
This pump kit does not need to be attached to anything. Simply place nozzle in the tank and use the operation bulb to siphon the water out the discharge hole into a bucket.

How do you stop it from suctioning
Answer by ChewyJun 01, 2021
To stop flow, lift the netted nozzle end out of the water before the container you are emptying water to is full.

What is the width of the hose? What is the gallons per minute flow rate?
Answer by ChewyJun 01, 2021
The hose measures 1/2 inch in diameter. The flow rate is 3 gallons per minute.

Shallow Water Lifesaver

I nearly cried with joy when I squeezed the pump and the water began flowing fast and steady. Starting a vac in my shallow (3-6") mud turtle tank is so frustrating. This had a stronger pull than most too, so it picked up more gunk and made the water change quicker. The big downside to the short head and strong pull was that it picked up a lot more sand. Once I'm used to it, I'm sure it won't be a problem. Plus I had to move more quickly to get all the nooks and crannies. I usually just pull out all the plants (rooted on small driftwood so the turtle can push them around,) and any easy to grab rocks. I'm buying more for backup. 100% worth it for shallow water. Sir My Cousin Vincent Petite Feet approved of the quick change too, although he was angry it happened at all, as usual.

Great price but not durable

Pros: can’t beat the price on this little sucker. Worked well on my two 10 gallon tanks for their weekly cleaning. I like the filtering insert in the nozzle that catches bits and the siphon component that gets the flow going. Cons: you get what you pay for so I shouldn’t be too surprised that it didn’t last long. Bought it in December and it lost suction in April. I don’t mind buying another since it’s half the price of comparable vacuums. I also wish the tubing was a little longer. Because of that I have to put my collection bucket on a chair instead of the floor.

Good value

What’s not to like? It’s cheap and it works great! I use it for an 8 gallon Betta tank and a 20 gallon community tank. Makes maintenance so much easier.

I would say this sucks, but it literally doesn't

I would say this sucks, but it literally doesn't. Broke the second time I used it.

Looks sturdy

Worked great!

It came packaged nicely and a day early. It was easy to use, and nothing was damaged or sucked into the tube that shouldn't have been. Sometimes water get trapped in the tube and when you pick it up it drips all over you, but anyone who owns an aquarium is going to get wet. Great product!
