Will the water continue to siphon to the filter if the power goes out?

Power goes out- the water flow/siphon/filter operation ceases. It resumes once the power is back on again. Hope this helps- works just like any regular filter - or was there something specific in its design that prompted your concern?

No. Although the FX6 is a gravity system, power is needed to operate the pump which circulates the filtered water back up, and into the tank. This filter is awesome. I've had it running on a 125 gallon aquarium , occupied by 4 sizable turtles for a month and a week now. The water has never been clearer. Now it needs to be cleaned for the first time. Hope this info was helpful!

The water will not circulate through the filter it there is no power. It stuts down every 12 hours for approximately 1 min to purge any air. This is automatic. However if the canister is set lower then the water in the tank it will fill with siphon once it starts. It is by far the best filter pump combo I have ever had and would highly recommend. I love it just plug it in and forget it.

Yep. It will shut off when the water gets down to about 2 inches. However, I am not sure that this unit is designed for continuous duty that a water feature would demand. It's typically used in a sump pit and cycles on/off as the pit fills and then is pumped out, repeat, repeat...

I have seen a solenoid valve powered to the same power and the light. So if the power goes out, and the UV light shuts down, there will be no water. That way you aren't getting untreated water. Just a thought.

this unit does stop working when the water runs out and a digital display will let you know it is out of water. Hope this helps. I have to say I love this unit and works outstanding. Joseph

No, just install the t-valve in the plumbing lines under the faucet and this will divert the water when you turn on the faucet handle for the filter water. Your current faucet will work as it does now.

No it won't seperate. Water is heavier than fuel or oil so it settles to the bottom. Fuel is petroleum based so it will stay mixed even through the filter. Hope this helps

As a temporary fix for a power outage, yes. It's not supposed to be a permanent fixture because it burns up D batteries. I suggest you get an aerator that is designed specifically for an aquarium. Your best bet is to visit your local fish or pet store and see what they have available. Take pictures of the bowl and tank that you are referencing so they can help you out with exactly the size filtration system that you need.

Nope. Just make sure you drain the water in the outlet pipe. Or make sure that you pump antifreeze into the outlet pipe

Yes, continuous until the water runs out. I can recommend this as OK, but the older models were better designed. This was the best of the price range I found and I am happy with it.

Yes. I have it hooked to my rainwater tank and it just turns on when the drip system goes on and there is demand for water. Okay if it runs dry, too.

No. Turn on the power switch and go. Automatically shuts off when water tank runs dry.

Yes, it would, since that is not based on the motor. There is a plug in the bottom of the reservoir. When you fill it, you push it shut. When it is placed on the bowl, there is a piece which makes contact pushing it open. It is simple but effective. What would stop is the water being circulated through the filter.

Yes, it shuts off automatically, and what ever amount of water you put in will come out. As long as you don't overfill the well.

There's a power override switch under sink you can easily switch to get water in power outage. love the faucet, wasn't sure at first, but very used to it now

Water will drop out to the bottom make sure it is drained before it reaches the filter.

As long as the black bubble is sticking out of the water, the current from the filter will pull little air bubbles in. Both of mine work great!

I doubt it, especially if there is pressure on the line. I tried to fix a pipe with NO water and no pressure, and the repair dripped from both ends when I turned the water back on.
