Aquarium air valve, flow regulator for Ø 4/6 mm tubing, green plastic - Zolux - set of 2
Adjust the air flow in your aquarium
This set of 2 Zolux air valves attaches to the tube connecting the air pump to the diffuser.
By turning the valve, you can adjust the number of bubbles: more air for a decorative bubbler, less for a quiet aquarium.
They connect to a standard Ø 4/6 mm air tube (not included).
Made of green plastic, they’re lightweight and unobtrusive, making them easy to place near the aquarium.
In short: 2 valves included, green plastic, for Ø 4/6 mm air tubing.
They also allow you to split the air from a single pump between two diffusers, with independent adjustment for each.
Description
Why add an air valve?
An air pump often delivers more air than is necessary.
The valve allows you to precisely control the flow of air to a diffuser stone, an animated decoration, or an air filter.
With two valves, you can also split the air from a single pump between two outlets and adjust each one separately.

Installation

2. Attach each end to a valve connector.
3. Turn on the pump and adjust the flow by turning the valve.
ℹ️ Good to Know
Place the valve in an accessible location, out of the water, so you can adjust the flow without getting your hands wet.
To protect the pump from backflow in the event of a power outage, pair it with a check valve.
⭐ Tip from the team: Slightly reducing the air flow often makes the pump run more quietly, while still maintaining sufficient aeration.
