What does a venturi do in a fish tank?

A venturi is simply a device designed to oxygenate a flow of water. Oxygenating the water is important because: Fish need oxygen to breathe (fish extract about 80 percent of the oxygen from the water that passes over their gills) Plants need oxygen at night for cellular respiration and to help photosynthesize.

How does a Venturi aerator work?

The Venturi Aerator is a static device that is installed immediately downstream of a pump. The pumped fluid is forced into the aerator, where a specially designed and machined nozzle produces a venturi effect, enabling atmospheric air to be drawn into the system and mixed with the pumped fluid.

How does a Venturi water pump work?

The compressed air is supplied through the compressed air connection to the venturi pump. It flows through the venturi nozzle of the venturi pump. During this process the air is accelerated and compressed. After flowing through the venturi nozzle, the accelerated air spreads in the venturi pump and a vacuum is created.
