Protect your wavemaker, protect your tank. The iSeaLive Pump Guard for Hygger 222 (9W) is a purpose-built, snap-fit cover that shields the impeller intake while maintaining high, even flow. Each guard is CAD-modeled from real measurements, test-fitted with a prototype ring, and refined for a satisfying “click” install. The vent pattern balances safety and performance—dense enough to keep livestock out, open enough to keep your Hygger pushing water like it should.
Whether you’re running a nano reef or a planted setup, this guard adds peace of mind with clean lines and a low-profile look.
