Abstract: A sterilizer for water, with pump, particularly for aquariums, comprising at least one element for irradiation of ultraviolet rays, and at least one duct portion for the passage of the water to be sterilized, which faces the irradiation element, the duct portion being permeable to ultraviolet radiation irradiated during use by the irradiation element, a pump for supplying water to the duct portion, a structure for hanging from a rim of a wall of a tank, which has a first supporting portion for the intake of the pump and a second supporting portion for the irradiation element and for the duct portion that faces it.

Abstract: An aquarium filter assembly is mounted to an aquarium tank and defines a water flow path therethrough from upstream to downstream from an inlet to an outlet. A replaceable filter element is mounted in a filter chamber.

Abstract: External filter assembly for aquariums includes a filter chamber containing a mechanical and/or chemical filter and a functionally active filter upstream of the mechanical filter for actively filtering the water before the water is filtered by the mechanical filter. Fresh air is mixed with the aquarium water immediately upstream of the functionally active filter whereby the functionally active filter is directly exposed to both dissolved oxygen in the water and atmospheric oxygen mixed in the water which significantly improves both the efficiency and capacity of the filter in performing its active function. Both the mechanical/chemical filter and the functionally active filter are cartridge type filters, whereby either may be replaced without disturbing and/or affecting the operation of the other.

Abstract: A submersible centrifugal pump especially for aquariums includes a motor driven impeller for circulating water through the pump and a movable flow indicator visible from the exterior of the pump for visually indicating the water flow rate through the pump. The impeller is mounted on a hollow motor shaft which protrudes above the pump to provide for the passage of air down through the shaft for mixing with the water within the pump. The shaft is rotatable relative to the impeller to permit turning of a valve shutter connected thereto relative to a valve seat for controlling the water flow rate through the pump.
