Calcium reactors, biopellet reactors, and other recirculating equipment need a dedicated feed pump to keep water moving through the media, and the Water Blaster line is the OEM pump behind several Reef Octopus reactors. Water Blasters come in four capacities.
Why Reactors Need Dedicated Recirculation Pumps
Calcium reactors and biopellet reactors work by recirculating water through media over time, dissolving or reacting with it gradually — that recirculation depends entirely on a reliable feed pump matched to the reactor's flow requirements.
Choosing a Size
- HY-1000W — the smallest in the line, built for recirculation duty on reactors and other equipment needing lower flow.
- HY-7000W — the OEM recirculation pump behind the 250PRO Commercial Calcium Reactor and BC-10T Commercial BioChurn.
- HY-10000W — the OEM recirculation pump behind the 300PRO Commercial Calcium Reactor and BC-20T Commercial BioChurn.
- HY-12500W — the largest in the Water Blaster line, serving as the OEM recirculation pump for the 350PRO Commercial Calcium Reactor.
Before You Order
- Match the pump to your specific reactor model — each size is built as the OEM pump for particular Reef Octopus commercial reactors.
- Confirm plumbing connections match your existing reactor setup before ordering a replacement.
- Keep a spare on hand for commercial installations where reactor downtime has real consequences.
