Battery Backup - Dual Voltage Air Pumps are a must-have for serious fish keepers! These air pumps are able to continuously to operate even when there is a power failure. If the power goes out, or someone accidentally unplugs the pump, the internal DC battery automatically takes over and provides up to 8 hours of non-stop aeration. When the power comes back on, the pump switches back to AC power and recharges the battery all while operating at full capacity.
All this happens automatically as the pump seamlessly switches between AC or DC mode depending on whether there is incoming power. These pumps are great for koi ponds, reef tanks, aquaponics, hydroponics, fish breeders and more.
Your pump should circulate the volume of your pond a minimum of once every 2 hours, ideally once every hour or more if you have a moderate to heavy fish load.

Great Blue Herons are typically solitary birds, so placing a lifelike heron decoy at the edge of your pond often deters them from visiting your pond and eating your fish. If you have a heron that lives near your pond, moving your decoy around from time helps to maintain illusion.
