American Voltage

Hi I was looking at koralia powerheads on ebay and someone told me that they wouldnt work in Australia because of the voltage, is there anything I can do to make them work in Australia?

 

I believe you can just buy the standard travel power adapter.

 

Are you sure the guy said I would need a voltage converter or something like that.

 

it needs a transformer IMO

your on 220 - 240 I believe - US is on 110 for standard stuff and only 220 for large item ring mains like cookers, microwaves etc

I can offer you some Chinese brand options that are good IME - if they can be found in Aus? Sun Sun brand - I now have 3 of these and they are very good - largest is 6000 Litres per hour ( thats 1500 US gallons) but they do smaller one at 3000 litres per hour (750 US gallons)

also Rishen brand - make some that are compatible with a wave maker - you can plug up to 4 units into the box and the unit alternates between on and off

Transformer would be required. Just by something made for your voltage. Not worth the extra money.
