Rio Pond Pumps

Rio Aqua Pumps/Powerheads have long been known as an aquarium workhorse. They deliver water at a very high pressure, making it very suitable as a sump return pump. Most aquarists with a Berlin skimmer have turned to the Rios to deliver a sufficient quantity of water to maximize the foaming action. Users have noted that the Rios require regular maintenance for them to function at their peak, and have a high failure rate with these units when used with wave makers. Overall, these units are excellent for "straight ahead" water movement and will always be a good value.
