Zoomed Power Sweep PowerHeads Review

Submitted by AquariumsLife.com on January 2, 2010 – 8:21 pmNo Comment

Zoomed Power SweepDESCRIPTION
Zoo Med’s Power Sweep powerheads are the first and only rotating powerheads on the market. With a full 60 degree of rotation the Power Sweep replicates natural water currents without the expense of a wave maker. The Power Sweep is fully submersible and can be used alone or in conjunction with an under gravel filter system. They are also cUL listed.

Available models:
PowerSweep 212 (125 GPH) UL Listed
PowerSweep 214 (160 GPH) UL Listed
PowerSweep 226 (190 GPH) UL Listed228 (270 GPH) UL Listed

REVIEW
I bought a couple Power Sweep PowerHeads for my first 15 gallon reef tank. In only a couple of months the sweep feature quit working. If I cleaned the power head it would work for only a few days and stop again. It requires lots of maintenance for the sweep action to remain funtional.
I have read some reports that confirm that most quit sweeping fairly quickly in saltwater aquarium. However, it works great in freshwater aquarium.
