Powerhead guard questions, straight answers.
How do I know if a guard fits my pump?
Each guard is made for the pump named on its product page. Find your pump model there and that is your guard.
Does the guard come off for pump cleaning?
Yes. It slips over the round pump body by hand, so you can pull it off to clean the pump and put it back the same way.
What if my pump is not on your list?
Each guard is made for the pumps named on its page. Send us your pump model through Request a Part and it goes on the list for the next one we add.
Do I still need to watch my tank with a guard installed?
Yes. Keep an eye on your livestock as usual.
Will the guard fit a pump from a different brand than the one I own?
Our guards are made for the round pump bodies named on each page. Pump shapes differ a lot between brands, so go by the model name.
