A Reliable Float Adapter for Aggressive Aquarium Conditions

Float valves are an essential part of aquarium equipment that help maintain stable water parameters by automatically refilling the tank as water evaporates. However, finding a durable float valve that can withstand aggressive aquarium conditions can be a challenge. That’s where the Rogers NITROPHYL float valve steps in.

The Rogers NITROPHYL float is specially designed for African cichlid aquariums, which tend to have high pH and hardness levels. The float’s body and seal are constructed from solid PVC that resists corrosion from hard water. The ARM-P pivot arm is also resistant to distortion.

Key Features of Rogers NITROPHYL Float

Feature	Description
Solid PVC construction	Resists corrosion from hard, alkaline water
Distortion-resistant pivot arm	Maintains smooth operation
Adjustable height	Fits most aquarium rim configurations
Locking nut	Holds adjustment settings securely

The height of the Rogers float can be easily adjusted during installation to fit different aquarium stand heights and rim configurations. This allows the float to be positioned at the optimal height to maintain the desired water level. The adjustable height ranges from approximately 6 inches to 12 inches.

Once the height is set, a locking nut holds the adjustment securely in place. The nut ensures the float valve maintains the proper water height for consistent top-offs over the long term.

Reliable and Consistent Aquarium Top-Offs

The Rogers NITROPHYL float excels at providing a constant, even flow of replacement water to your aquarium as water evaporates.

The solid PVC construction prevents the valve from getting stuck open. This helps avoid flooding or drastic water parameter fluctuations.

The pivot arm retains smooth motion over time so the valve can consistently close when the desired water level is reached. This prevents the float from “hanging open” and overfilling the tank.

Overall, the rugged build quality and corrosion resistance of the NITROPHYL float adapter makes it ideal for keeping African cichlid and other hardwater aquariums topped off properly for years to come.
