The functions and differences between fish tank wave pump and submersible pump

The wave-making pump is basically the same thing as a submersible pump, both falling under the umbrella of submersible pumps. However, they differ in their functions and usage methods in practical applications. 

wave-making pump is generally used extensively in large fish breeding, such as gold dragons and koi. These fish tend to have short, thick, and obese bodies in a calm aquatic environment, which is not conducive to maintaining a visually appealing body shape. Therefore, using a wave-making pump can create artificial water currents and waves, allowing the fish to grow in an environment similar to a river. The fish will swim against the current in the water, showcasing their swimming skills. At the same time, the dissolved oxygen in the water increases significantly, and microorganisms in the water are fully exchanged, which is beneficial to the growth and development of the fish. 

It is worth noting that the flow rate of the pump should be selected reasonably, as too large or too small is not suitable.
Additionally, the inlet should be properly protected, otherwise, it is easy to suck fish, causing serious harm.
Furthermore, if a fish is sucked and blocks the inlet, it can cause the pump to run dry, which may burn out the motor and cause electrical leakage.

submersible pump is usually installed in an aquarium to provide water circulation by exchanging water flow through a filter system. Its function is to raise water from the aquarium and flow through various regions of the filter chamber before returning to the aquarium, thus achieving a circulation effect. 

When used as a filter, the submersible pump should have a flow rate of 3-5 times the total capacity of the aquarium. For example, for an aquarium with a capacity of 100 liters of water, a submersible pump with a flow rate of 300 liters per hour would be suitable.
Similarly, the intake should also be protected by a mesh filter to prevent injury to the fish.
