Comments

Joe: I like this pump for its ability to brew organic tea for my plants. I find that it moves a lot of air if I use two large stones in a 1-2 gallon container. The fittings are very snug and keep the lines in place firmly, which is a real problem for many pumps. My one complaint is that it makes a terrible noise on high. If I keep it at around 80% max, I hear almost nothing. And I don’t notice much of a bubbling difference between max high, and just below max.

JimM: I use this for drying tubing and hoses for brewing and hydration (e.g. CamelBak tubing). When I set it on high and route both outlets through the tubing using a tee fitting, it can dry about three feet of 3/8" silicone tubing in roughly an hour, depending on humidity and temperature. You can use it to dry bottles and bladders as well. It is not very loud, but I would in no way describe it as silent. On the high setting, I can hear it from a room or two away, although it would not significantly interfere with a conversation a few feet away. It would be annoying to me to sleep with it in the same room on the high setting. I might tolerate it on the low setting.

GrowTech: So I needed an air pump for my Autopot XL Air Dome addons. Checked a couple of products, read some negative reviews about this one being loud, still took a chance. Seriously, if you have any other device running near the device, its sound will go unnoticed. My lights fans and small fans together are louder than the pump itself.

Some reviews said it didn't push much air. Well I can say that if you wanna buy this for the same use as me, you'll be just fine. Does it push enough for aquariums and such? I don't know. But it pushes air just fine through Air Domes, and I don't feel like it could push more air with this system anyway.

So all in all: not loud at all, way softer than say a buzzing air trimmer, and pushes air just fine. Don't bother spending more for more pressure if you'll use it for Autopot Air Domes.

ChrisChris: Powerful enough pump. Currently using it to power a double sponge filter and embedded air disk. It’s quite loud, but inexpensive. Would suggest it for secondary tanks, but perhaps not any in a sitting area due to noise.

Soundq2Soundq2: GREAT FLOW! Slightly louder than previous pump but the flow (output) is totally AWESOME! It is about 40dB so there is a slight hum. But put it on a towel and it drops by 1/2.
The best part is the awesome flow!
I measured two pumps in a lab and this one cost $1 more is twice as loud but has 3X the flow. It is claimed to supply 7.9 lpm but I measured 5.17. Closer than the cheaper one (claimed 4 lpm actual 1.58)

Kuhni Kustoms: Using this to power my DWC and it has been working great. Run each line to there own 5 gallon bucket with a 2 inch cylinder stone and they are making my plants happy. I would buy again if needed, the adjustable knob is a great feature and on low it runs very quiet. When you turn it up to the highest setting it does get a little on the noisy side but puts out a lot of air. Great product made of high quality materials. Although the one I received does not look like the one pictured (I think the one I received is newer and looks better) it is well worth the money.

Kai Hardzog: I purchased a  Tetra 77850 Whisper Air Pump, upto 100-Gallon  last December. That pump was always a bit loud but it grew to be an annoyance. Our tank is located in our living room and I got fed up with having to turn the TV volume up to drown out the pump.

I purchased this  EcoPlus 2 Air Pump, 2 Outlets  last week and I could not be more pleased. It is decibels quieter and is actually more powerful. I have one 18" submersed bubble bar and one treasure chest in my 20 gallon tank. The lines are run to a gang valve and then a line runs to the pump. This pump is capable of supplying both the bar and chest with the proper amount of flow on the lowest setting. My old Tetra pump had no flow setting control - I considered this and its noise its two downfalls for me and my setup.

I really like the setting control knob on the top of the pump, although I do not see myself needing to turn it up from the lowest setting since with my current setup turning the knob any higher causes my treasure chest to darn near float. LOL! This pump is certainly a very nice device that I foresee lasting me quite some time. When it does come time for a replacement, I will not...
