Abstract

Apparatus for cleaning bottoms of aquariums, characterized by the fact that the collection of waste materials and other foreign bodies and impurities, takes place by an effect of aspiration exerted by a circulation of air from a compressor equipment coupled to a tubular element it penetrates vertically into the aquarium and, at its lower end, communicates with another adjacent tubular element prolonged inferiorly coupled to a flared nozzle that rests on the bottom cleaned, in which the second tubular element mentioned above is related to an open receptacle in the upper part and with a lower base open and coupled to a filter bag, all this in such a way that the air flow driven by the compressor circulates through the tubular system of the apparatus, occupied by water from the aquarium itself, propelling it towards the cited receptacle and generating in it a profusion of bubbles, so that the latter determine an effect of suction in the lower nozzle and the consequent uptake of the residual particles of the bottom, resulting in that in said receptacle, the water is filtered in its bag, returning to the aquarium, while the solid particles are retained in the bag itself, while the air escapes to the outside through the upper mouth of the receptacle.
