Such devices are better suited for very large systems, like public displays. Wave-timers with powerheads are likewise inferior to dedicated pumps producing random turbulent flow as their staccato operation increases wear on pumps in use while robbing the system of potential water flow during "off" cycles. Truly, the closed loop manifold described herein produces some of the most efficient water movement in the aquarium while insuring a good value of use (pump life and
