Aquatic Life Flow Swing ratings

[fragit]

@AquaticLifeProducts , do you have any flow ratings for your Macro Flow Swings? I'm interested in the 1"models and was wondering if there is a max flow rating you recommend from the return pump? Thanks!

Hi Jesse, the flow swings are designed to accommodate the flows that you would normally see in either ½”, ¾” or 1” plumbing. The Flow Swings do not pump the water. The motors simply rotate the diffusers side-to-side and change the direction of the water flowing back into the tank from the filter return. Let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks Dave, I am aware that they work that way and are not pumps. Guess I was just wondering if it's possible to put enough water through the "nozzle" to damage the motor or diffuser.

It actually rotates on a disk on the bottom and the nozzle is locked in place at the top and the bottom with two protrusions. The flow really should not be limited. I can send you a few photos if you would like to see how the nozzle is locked in place?
