Abstract: A water feature for generating an illuminated water image has a housing and an illumination unit fixedly arranged in the housing. A water channel passes through the housing. A nozzle insert is disposed in the water channel and is designed to create a water image. The nozzle insert is supported so as to be pivotable relative to the illumination unit. The nozzle insert is supported so as to be pivotable about a pivot point, wherein the pivot point is positioned at a same level with or below a light-emitting top side of the housing. An alignment and fixation tool is provided that has first contact elements designed to engage second contact elements of a securing element that secures the nozzle insert so that the securing element can be released or fixed by rotation of the tool.
Abstract: Provided are fish food compositions that include 40-70 wt. % cereal flour, 15-30 wt. % meal from aquatic animals, 10-20 wt. % extraction meal, 0.01-0.40 wt. % pepper, and 0.1-1.0 wt. % free methionine. Also provided are methods for using the fish food compositions as a fish food for ornamental fish.
Abstract: The invention relates to a filter unit (1, 19), having: at least one warp-knitted spacer (3) which comprises a first and a second cover layer (4; 5) having in each case a multiplicity of openings (6) which are delimited by peripheral regions (7), wherein threads (8) extend from the peripheral regions (7) of the first cover layer (4) to peripheral regions (7) of the second cover layer (5), and wherein the at least one warp-knitted spacer is rolled, twisted, and/or at least in one portion is compressed.
Abstract: A fountain attachment for water effects has an exterior pipe and an interior pipe disposed inside the exterior pipe. An adjustable nozzle of the fountain attachment has a slot size that can be adjusted by a coaxial displacement of the exterior pipe relative to the interior pipe. At least one guide ball is movably arranged between the exterior pipe and the interior pipe and pretensioned by at least one spring. The guide ball interacts with a guide contour for the coaxial displacement by a rotation of the exterior pipe and the interior pipe relative to each other. A pressure element is arranged between the spring and the guide ball.
Abstract: A pump is provided with an electric motor that has a rotor. The rotor is provided with a shaft and a magnet surrounds the shaft. The magnet is connected with form fit to the shaft. A follower surrounds the shaft at least in some areas of the shaft. The follower is monolithically connected to the shaft or is connected with form fit to the shaft. The magnet is made of at least two magnet segments and the follower has projections which engage intermediate spaces formed between the magnet segments.
Abstract: A water pump has a check valve with a valve body movable in a direction of a valve axis of the check valve between an open position of the check valve and a closed position of the check valve. An actuating device is connected with the check valve and has an operating element that is movable coaxially to the valve axis. The operating element is operatively connected to the valve body and arranged such that the operating element, by applying a coaxial force to the valve body, transfers the valve body into a venting position of the check valve.
