We have every Aqua One powerhead in stock and ready to ship, so you can be assured of fast service when you need it – especially if you take advantage of one of our fast shipping options. But, in the meantime, let Aqua One Parts help you make the most of the powerhead you have.

Keep Your Aqua One Powerhead Clean

Keeping the powerhead for your Aqua One AquaStyle 510 and Aqua One UFO 550 clean is essential. Dirty, clogged up powerheads run hotter because their flowrate is lower, this shortens their life and lowers filter efficiency. By all means clean the powerhead itself but even more importantly be sure to change the Aqua One 59w wool pad layer and the Aqua One 59s sponge sections for the UFO 550 or the Aqua One 2c carbon cartridge and Aqua One 2s sponge pad layer on the Aqua Style 510 on a regular basis: great, original Aqua One Filter Media is the very best way to keep your set up clean and low in debris and small solids.

Change the Aqua One Impeller

The Aqua One AquaStyle 510 and Aqua One UFO 550 powerhead uses the Aqua One 2i impeller which runs on a stainless shaft. The impeller is the only moving part and should be exchanged yearly at which time it will have spun tens of millions of times: little wonder these can get worn and noisy. Please don’t leave it until the Aqua One 2i impeller breaks and you are left powerhead-less.

Keep an Eye on Your Aqua One Powerhead

You can learn a lot about the health of an Aqua One AquaStyle 510 and Aqua One UFO 550 powerhead by just spending one minute, once per week watching it work. Is the flow rate through the filter always the same? Or does it vary?  Is there a decent amount of water flowing through the filter? Is the powerhead coated in algae? Is it running quietly and smoothly or does it rattle and vibrate? Any of these things can indicate that a replacement is due any time. Don’t worry too much: we have the best prices and fast dispatch on a brand new Aqua One AquaStyle 510 and Aqua One UFO 550 powerhead posted directly to your door or place of work.
