ILONDA Aquarium Electric Gravel Cleaner

The ILONDA Aquarium Electric Gravel Cleaner is ideal for aquarium keepers who want a quicker, cleaner, and less hands-on way to maintain their tank. It’s especially useful for beginners and busy hobbyists who want to remove waste from the substrate and perform water changes without the hassle of manual siphoning.

Key benefits
• Combines gravel cleaning, debris removal, and water changing in one easy-to-use tool
• Electric operation reduces effort compared to traditional siphons
• Helps lift trapped waste from gravel without excessive disturbance
• Adjustable length makes it suitable for a range of tank depths
• Portable, battery-powered design with no need for external power sources

How to use it
Submerge the gravel cleaner fully in the aquarium before switching it on. Gently press the intake head into the gravel and move it slowly across the substrate, allowing debris to be drawn up while the gravel falls back into place. Use the attached hose to direct removed water into a bucket during water changes. After use, switch off the unit and rinse the internal filter or collection bag to maintain strong suction for the next cleaning session.

Warnings
Designed primarily for gravel substrates; very fine sand may be drawn into the unit more easily and require frequent cleaning. Always ensure the motor section is not run dry and that the unit is submerged before use. Battery power means suction strength depends on battery condition, so fresh batteries are recommended for best performance. Not intended for continuous long-duration use in very large aquariums.
