D-D Funktion Wave Aquarium Fish Tank Pump - 13000 LPH - Controllable - Digital Controller - B&Q
The D-D Funktion Wave Pump range offers precise, controllable water movement for both freshwater a...The D-D Funktion Wave Pump range offers precise, controllable water movement for both freshwater and marine aquariums, each model delivers powerful circulation in a compact, energy-efficient design. Featuring a digital controller with advanced programming options, these pumps simulate natural water flow to promote coral health, oxygenation, and nutrient distribution. This pump has an Ultra-High 13,000 L/H Flow Output, making it ideal for large aquariums and improving oxygenation, coral health and nutrient distribution. It includes an Advanced Digital Controller with constant, wave, pulse and storm modes with adjustable output from 30–100% for natural water movement. The pump is Energy Efficient & Low Heat due to its low-voltage 24V, 30W 4-pole motor which delivers exceptional flow while minimising heat transfer and energy consumption. It features a Durable & Safe Design with a wear-resistant ceramic shaft, run-dry protection, and optional fish & anemone guard for long-term reliability. The Easy Magnetic Mounting uses a strong magnetic holder with adjustable angle, suitable for glass thickness up to 10mm in marine or freshwater tanks.
This controllable aquarium pump by D-D Funktion is designed for aquarists seeking precise water movement in both freshwater and marine tanks. Its key benefit is simulating natural water flow for improved coral health and oxygenation, with a powerful 13,000 L/H output. A potential caveat is the need to understand its digital controller for optimal programming.

FAQs
What is the maximum glass thickness the magnetic mount can support?
The magnetic mounting system is designed to securely hold the pump on glass up to 10mm thick.
Can this pump be used in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums?
Yes, the D-D Funktion Wave Pump is suitable for use in both freshwater and marine aquarium environments.
How do I program the different wave modes?
The pump comes with an advanced digital controller. Refer to the controller's manual for detailed instructions on selecting and customizing constant, wave, pulse, and storm modes.
What does the 'run-dry protection' feature do?
Run-dry protection prevents the pump from being damaged if it accidentally operates without water. However, it is best to avoid running the pump dry for extended periods to ensure its longevity.
Is the fish and anemone guard included?
The fish and anemone guard is an optional accessory and is not included with the standard pump package. It can be purchased separately.
How energy efficient is this pump?
The pump utilizes a low-voltage 24V, 30W 4-pole motor, which is designed for high energy efficiency and minimal heat transfer into the aquarium water.
How often should I clean the pump?
It is recommended to clean the pump and its components (impeller, housing) regularly, typically every 1-3 months, depending on aquarium conditions, to maintain optimal performance and prevent blockages.
Troubleshooting
Pump is not turning on
Check that the power adapter is securely connected to the controller and the pump. Ensure the power adapter is plugged into a working electrical outlet. Verify the controller is properly connected.
Low water flow output
Check the pump's intake and outlet for any blockages or debris. Clean the impeller and housing. Ensure the flow rate is not set too low on the digital controller. Check for any obstructions around the magnetic mount.
Unusual noise during operation
Disconnect power and check the impeller for debris or damage. Ensure the ceramic shaft is clean and properly seated. If noise persists, the impeller or motor may require servicing or replacement.
Magnetic mount is weak or slipping
Ensure the glass thickness is within the 10mm limit. Clean the glass and both magnets of any algae or debris. Reposition the mount to a cleaner section of glass if necessary.
