Maxi Powerhead MP900 Water Pump for Aquariums

The NEWA Maxi MP multi-use submersible pump, previously branded as Cobalt Aquatics MJ900, is built to perform and last under the harshest conditions. Manufactured in Italy, this power head is ideal for a variety of applications, including wave makers, protein skimmers, calcium reactors, nano aquariums, under gravel filters, and hydroponic systems.

The NEWA Maxi MP pump features a fully rotational output, a fully sealed intake for internal and external use, and a universal intake tube. It also includes an adjustable hanger with a cord guide and a 6-foot power cord, as well as an adjustable venturi with a silencer and a triple suction cup mount. The large intake screen can be used with a sponge, and the pump offers a 1/2" OD output connection and a 3/4" OD intake connection.

The NEWA Maxi MP pump is available in four models: - MP400: 106 GPH, 29" Max Height, 5W - MP600: 160 GPH, 53" Max Height, 7.5W - MP900: 230 GPH, 46" Max Height, 8.5W - MP1200: 295 GPH, 69" Max Height, 20W

For users of calcium reactors in reef aquariums, the NEWA Maxi MP pump is the perfect choice. Reef aquariums often have high levels of calcium, which can lead to the precipitation of calcium on the pump's parts, such as the impeller and impeller shaft, in as little as 4-5 months. This calcium buildup is not covered by the warranty, but it can be easily managed with routine maintenance.

Every 2-3 months, the NEWA Maxi MP pump should be removed, and the impeller should be soaked in distilled vinegar for 15-20 minutes. Then, the parts should be scrubbed with an old toothbrush, and the impeller should be worked up and down the shaft to break up any mineral deposits. Finally, the pump should be rinsed with fresh water and reinstalled into the system. This simple maintenance will keep the NEWA Maxi MP pump running like new for years.

Made in Italy, the NEWA Maxi MP multi-use submersible pump is a reliable and versatile choice for a wide range of aquarium and hydroponic applications, particularly for those with calcium-rich reef systems.
