do I have to run a power head? and how does it work if I do not run a power head?

No, a power head is not needed. It connects to the aerator. Bubbles create a vacuum which suck up the debris through the tubes and to your filter canister.

You do not need a power head, you can use an air pump. hooked to air stones. I run my undrgravel filte with a Tetra Whisper air pump, and it operates vey quietly. I hope this helps

no. you will need air line, 2 air stones, a "t" for the air line and a check valve to protect the air pump if the power fails.e mail me at lou@oilleakfixers.com if you have further questions///lou

It isn't powered. It's just the flat bottom piece, two vertical tubes, some carbon, and plastic heads for the tubes. You need a power head or some other air-blowing device to make it work.

The item is shipped without a power supply or any info regarding power supply requirements. I would have returned the one I bought, but, due to circumstances, I did not try to install the unit before the return period had expired. Sorry I can't be of more help, but I am stuck too.

You may likely need one with a power head...this model does not have that...I suggest you call Miele and ask for there recommendation...

You need a power cord. It does not come with one but you can use thre regular powe cord.

It means that It doesn't come with a power supply built into it. You can search up power supply on amazon and buy one as they are inexpensive, and are essential to run anything

I went to B&D; website and under the specs they said it would vary depending on using the 12 v or 20 volt power head , so if you really have the need ,give their 800 number a call and they can give you the info ! Good luck !

I guess it depends how long you need it to run in the event of a power failure. If this is your only computer and only need a very short up time before shutting down it may be over kill for you.

No need for power. I haven't tried it on any other laptops, just my Leveno.

Hi Frank,These can not be hooked up to a power head. There is a small nipple on the center tube where you can hook up an air tube from an air pump. The air flow in the center tube creates suction allowing the water to flow through Tue two side sponge filters and out the top. These filters are really good in conditions where a power head or standard filter can not be used. For example with delicate fish or invertebrates (shrimp).

You CAN power it up via the USB Port OR the external Power Adapter. Using the external Power Adapter allows the plugged in( tested or augmenting) hard drive to operate more efficiently, It's another step but worth the small effort. Product support recommend connecting it that way... so that's what I did. If you do likewise you should connect the Power Adapter BEFORE connecting the USB Cable.

Yes, I run a power head on each tube. I have a 77 gallon African Cichlid tank.

Your question is rather vague, however, if you're asking about the quality of this item; yes it works well. You will need a power head to operate it.

Hi You would have to get an electric hose and wand with this powerhead. If you have any further question feel free to call toll free 1-800-442-8227 and ask for Scott. Thanks, Scott

If you had it plugged into a computer it probably used the power from that. It didn't work for me without the adapter being plugged in. If you don't need it, just put it aside just in case you do at some point.

not need to be plugged in straight to the power supply. I have a 300W PSU and work fine

Yes,i connected mine,you just need one power connector with,6 pin on one end,8 pin on other end,i honestly can tell you that i have not tried running it without the power connector.

Hi, yes you can this controller gives you the option to have multiple power heads but it is up to you how many you want to connect. Just going a little bit further from the question, the idea is to have at least 2 without you having to turn them on and off.
