How to Install a Whisper Water Pump for a Fish Tank

A Whisper water pump is an aquarium filter that aids in keeping the water of the aquarium clear and debris free. It also oxygenates the water with air bubbles that are released while the filter removes debris. The Whisper pump includes two separate filters. The Bio-Bag filter traps debris such as leftover food and fish waste. The chemical filter works with activated carbon and removes discoloration and odor from the water. The pump is easy to install and comes with everything you will need.
