How does a powerhead work? Does it suck in air and push out water

now now gumbii...LMAO

Pleco - a power head is basically a multi use work horse for aquariums, mostly used in salt water set ups - running alone they suck water in from the bottom and push it out an adjustable nozzle or in some cases through a powered sweep nozzle for circulation in the tank - they can be hooked to other equipment such as skimmers, sumps, wave pulse timers and undergravel filters as well - -like I said - -a multi use workhorse - -but yes i guess you could set them up to suck in air too....LMAO - -thats just wrong ...............Snowboss

You guys are CRUEL!!!! In addition to Snowboss answer Pleco, some PH's have a feature called a venturi where in addition to being a water pump the PH also sucks in air via a small tube and shoots it out with the water. I'm signing off to watch the Simpsons and then SOUTHPARK!!!
