whats a good Power Head?

[MamawVal]

I am needing a new power head for the adaptor I got today. I tried it on my 2 exisiting pumps but they cannot produce enough water force to make the adaptor rotate. What kind do I need to do the job?
Thanks!!:question:

what kind of adaptor is it for? what application is it going to be used for? is it for a closed loop or something? needs more info to give an advice.

It is a rotating adaptor head...am just using it for water movement

 

[kimoy]

what kind of a rotating adaptor? there are a lot of that kind. is it a sea swirl? an ocean's motion? needs to be specific.

 

[kimoy]

or better yet, do you have a pic of it? or a link?

It's a hydor flo deflector rotating wave maker w/ 360' rotation ...it is adaptable to any pump w/a flow rate of: min. : 80 gph - max.: 310gph.

Use a maxijet 900 or 1200 model.They are cheap and about the most reliable powerheads on the market.

koralia's are cheap and probably look the best out of all powerheads. IMO...I just got a koralia 4 and :surfing: boy its got power.

I would just go with the maxi jet 900. IMO it is a waste of money if you go with the 1200 because the hydor flow deflector has a limited amout of output flow. I have 2 myself on a maxijet 1200 and wish I should have just bought the 900.

The flo-rotator will not work with Koralias.They are attachments for powerheads.Use a Maxijet 900,I had a rotator in the past on the maxi.
