Can this be used as a powerhead?

[Cich wit it]

I have 2 canister filters and I was wondering...Im using one as a regular return from one filter above the water line to help oxygenate the water as it splashes down. Can I use the second return under water as a powerhead? Does that even make sense? I just figured if its underwater and pushes water around it does the same thing as a power head. Is anyone else doing this as is doesnt sound very hard. Would you recommend it?

Its will be used as a filter. But the return hose will just be under water to help push water around like a power head. Does that clear anything up?

Hi,

Makes sense to me and cant see any reason why it wouldn't work

yep you can do that.

Filters move water. Powerheads move water. If you want to call your filter a powerhead, you are free to do so.
