(100 gph) (Mistral 300)
In purchasing this unit, you have selected a top quality product. It has been specifically designed for aquarium
use and has been tested by experts. This unit will efficiently meet the air supply requirements of most types of
aquarium.
1. Features
The
Mistral
membrane air pumps are designed for universal use. At the Mistral 300, the airflow can be adjusted
over a wide range so it meets the exact requirements of the equipment being supplied. This is done via a slide
control which adjusts the magnetic circuit and not the air pressure. The Mistral 200 has a fix output.
The housing is made from cast aluminium and this, combined with the magnetic control system and the vibration
reducing rubber feet, results in exceptionally quiet operation.
