3D model description

Airlift / Water pump / Skimmer / Airlift

(English see below)

The airlift draws water from the long chimney and expels it through the short stub. A hose can be attached here so that a significant amount of water can be pumped several 10 cm higher than the water surface. The deeper the airlift is attached below the water surface, the more and higher the water is pumped.

A skimmer (e.g. see https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5164329 ) is installed in the long chimney.

As no mechanical pump swirls the water, the pump is safe for small creatures (e.g. shrimps)

(At least one) air pump is required for the air flow. If necessary, close the second air adapter.

Please also note my designs on thingiverse.com and cults3d.com under the same user name (rolfmobil)...

Airlift / Water pump / Skimmer

The air-lift sucks water out of the long chimney and expels it through the short stub. A hose can be attached here, then a considerable amount of water can be pumped a few 10cm higher than the water surface. The deeper the airlift is placed below the water surface, the more and higher the water is pumped.

A skimmer (e.g. see https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5164329 ) is installed in the long chimney.

Since there is no mechanical pump swirling the water, the pump is not dangerous for small creatures (e.g. shrimps).

You need (at least one) air pump for the air flow. Close the second air adapter if necessary.
