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

Keep Your Aqua One Powerhead Clean

Keeping the powerhead for your Aqua One Aqua Style 850, Aqua Style 980 and UFO 700 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 4c carbon cartridges and the Aqua One 4s sponge pads 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 rubbish.

Change the Aqua One Impeller

The Aqua One AquaStyle 850, AquaStyle 980 and Aqua One UFO 700 powerhead uses the Aqua One 4i impeller which runs on a ceramic 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 impeller breaks and you are left powerheadless.

Keep an Eye on Your Aqua One Powerhead

You can learn a lot about the health of an Aqua One AquaStyle 850, Aqua Style 980 and UFO 700 powerhead by just spending one minute, once per week watching it work. Is the flow rate through the filter constant? Or does it vary?  Is there a decent amount of water flowing through the filter? Is the powerhead 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 fastest dispatch on a brand new Aqua One AquaStyle 850, Aqua Style 980 and UFO 700 powerhead posted directly to your door or place of work.
