Install Flash Player If you want a easy to use quite aquarium air pump buy this one. It is simply the best pump I ever seen or heard. It is almost completely silent, it very simple to control the air flow plus I just added one control valve to one line and was able to get complete balanced of air flow to both out going lines

My aquarium is in my living room. I was ...
My aquarium is in my living room. I was looking for a powerful pump to replace my air pump which was noisy and loud and was bothering when trying to relax and watch TV. This pump is VERY quiet! It has an adjustable dial to control it's strength, but even in it's highest settings it is quiet enough. It comes with a T connector that allows you to connect both outputs to a single output, making it even more powerful and allows you to use less power.. Note that if you position your pump below the water level, you need to use the provided check valves (non-return valve/one-way valve) to make sure water is not going to flow back to the pump and damage it. When using the T connector to combine the two outputs into one, make sure you use both valves before the T (before the two Airline tubes become one)

Surprised and delighted!
I haven't used an air pump in an aquarium for the past 20 years. Every one I tried before that was so noisy that it drove me crazy. I just set up a 20 gallon quarantine tank and decided to try again. This little pump is almost silent. It makes way less noise than the Aqueon Quiet Flow HOB filter. It is heavy and appears to be very good quality. The accessories should be all you need to get it up and running and you can control the amount of air it produces. I only needed one line, so I used the "T" to join the tubes and make a single line. On the lowest setting, it puts out a huge amount of air. I couldn't be more pleased.

Quiet, if you treat it right
It is adjustable and comes with air stones, back flow valves and connectors, which makes it the best deal at this price point. It is whisper quiet on low, and has a noticeable hum in a silent room when running on high. I'm running the filtration in my 15 gallon tank with this pump set on "medium" and it's nearly silent... much quieter than my previous powerhead. It also has vibration dampening (soft rubber), sound isolating (pointy) feet. Here's how to make it even *more* quiet: BUY MORE CAPACITY If you need quiet, I buy an adjustable pump at a twice the capacity you need, then turning it down to half capacity. The harder the pump has to work, the louder it will be. A bigger pump set to a low setting is actually quieter than a similar design small pump, pumping the same amount of air on "high". DOUBLE THE HOSE You can increase airflow on a lower setting buy doubling the hose; here's how. If you only need one hose, you can pair the outputs with the included "T" connector to double air flow while keeping it on medium power--an almost silent setup. Just make sure to use both back flow valves *between* the "T" and the output on each hose, rather than using only one after the junction. This is because each back flow valve is a choke-point (i.e. the smallest point through which the air must flow). Having two valves keeps resistance low which increases the total amount of air moving through your hose. The easier it is for your pump to push the amount of air that you need, the quieter your pump will be. COVER IT UP If you've followed my advice and bought an adjustable higher capacity pump, you shouldn't have any problems with it overheating if you wrap it in soundproofing material (i.e. a washcloth). Get as fancy as you want here; just make sure it's not getting hot. NO TOUCHY No "hard" part of this device should have contact with any other "hard" item... especially air stones on glass! If anything hard is pushing air and touches anything else hard--especially the tank glass--it will act just like a "woofer" in projecting vibration as sound. Try this experiment: dangle an active air stone in the water against the glass... now close to the glass... now in the middle of the tank. Notice how it quickly goes from LOUD to indistinguishable once it's more than an inch away from the glass? You can use this same experiment on other parts and objects within the tank to see if they carry sound. Any air attached to these objects should be carefully done with sound dampening material: like rubber or silicone suction cups. The more space, the better.

Don't understand the negative reviews
Seems like every pump I looked at here had split reviews. This was no exception & it made me nervous. Why were some people saying it was nearly silent & pumped air beautifully & some were saying it was horribly loud &/or didn't pump enough air for even the tiny air stones it comes with? I still don't have the answer to that question, unless some are getting defective pumps. What I can say is that the pump I received is everything I hoped it would be. Our old pump was loud from the time we got it & got louder after we'd had it a while. Had ended up wrapping a rubber band around it, which seemed to have better secured the housing & stopped some level of vibration, but it was still noisy & annoying. We learned to live with it. I made the decision to switch from a carbon filter to a sponge filter. I have hard water & even though I'm now using half bottled water, the PH is still too high. I'm using Catappa leaves (indian almond leaves) for the tannins in an effort to bring the PH down to a friendlier level. However, a carbon filter will remove the tannins and any beneficial affect they might be having. A sponge filter will clean the water without removing the tannins, but that meant I needed a second air pump. Just got it today & set it up & while the filter will take time to be effective, I'm already over the moon at the decision. There is no more constant, loud drone. I had decided that if I had to I would build a foam box to house the air pump & cut the noise (I have packing foam left over from a computer. The dense black kind with large points, perfect for absorbing sound) but I'm pleased to be able to say it is completely unnecessary with this air pump. I removed our old pump, connected this to both our long air stone & the sponge filter (I bought this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RJP2XB5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and I am so impressed! I set the dial to medium and even at that setting the air stone is pumping out easily 2-3x the bubbles it was before. The filter is flowing beautifully. And the whole set up is nearly silent!!! Everything arrived in perfect condition. All the necessary accessories, though I have no need for the spliter or the additional air stones, the check valves were a nice inclusion. I really couldn't be happier with an air pump. I don't know if some people got defective pumps or they didn't set them up correctly somehow (though I'm not sure how you can screw this up). I'm thrilled! It's so quiet I'm genuinely thinking I eventually want a second fish tank in my bedroom. Just to be clear because I know when the reviews are split like this - half great, half horrible - it brings up questions. I paid full price for this air pump, I was not solicited to review it in any way.

Perfect Pump
This is a powerful little pump. I have a 6 gal glass aquarium at work and I wanted to add a few air stones to agitate the water surface as I was getting a film on it due to it being so still all of the time. It does have dual ports so you can have 2 lines to different things. I currently only use one and on the lowest setting. I soaked just one air stone in water for a few hours before using it. The hose it comes with is very soft which is nice. My betta is the only one currently in the tank and he loves playing in the bubbles. Even on the lowest setting, I get a generous amount of bubbles. At 4 watts, this air pump is well more then substantial for my 6 gal tank. I don't regret anything. Its nice and quiet and it even has a little loop I use to hang the pump on the side of my cubicle. In a nutshell this is a great buy. I don't recommend it for anything smaller then my tank size.

Great little pump!
This is a small air pump, great for small tanks and small spaces. I run 2 betta tank sponge filters with this in 2 tanks. I use a splitter. One tank is 5 gallons, the other is a 7 gallon. Betta's do not like a lot of current. This pump runs both very well. It is not 100% silent, I doubt any are. But it is very quiet when placed correctly. My 2 tanks are on a small stand which does not leave me a lot of room to place things around it. This is fits nicely. I did place a small piece of foam under it, making it even more quiet. If you have small tanks, or a reason for a bit less airflow, this is a good one! I am getting another.

Awesome air pump!
Bought this air pump as a quick replacement for my 60 gallon tank and fluidized filtration system because both my 40 dollars plus pumps failed. Was completely surprised on how much air this pump put out, and super quiet! One 20 dollar pump to replace two 40 dollar pumps. The air stones and accessories are cheaply built, but the air pump is awesome.

Life changing pump!!!!!
I know my title sounds overly dramatic, but I'm not kidding. I had a Tetra whisper pump, which is allegedly quiet, and the difference between that and this Uniclife one is day and night. My 20H tank is in my office, 3 feet away from my desk. I decided to add an air stone to my mostly-guppy tank since they were staying at the top quite a bit and gulping air, despite my Aqua Clear 50 HOB filter. So the addition of the air stone really helped the guppies and they immediately stopped gulping the air from the top; as such, I knew I had to deal with an air stone for them and dreaded the noise. Sure enough, I tried that Tetra pump and thought I'd lose my mind, it was so darn loud. I was using it with one of those 4" blue/green strip airs tones, fyi. The combo was deafening. I couldn't even think to do my work. I knew I had to try something else. This one is just wonderful. I put about a 3" piece of airline hose in both outlets and used a check valve on each, then connected them to the T-connector, and connected the long airline tube to the T connector on the other side, and then to the air stone itself. (Thanks to A. Colbert, the reviewer above, for explaining how to do this.) Sure, I can hear a slight hum, nothing that is a problem or even that terribly noticeable once you hear it for a few moments (I forgot about it as I was typing this), and this is coming from someone who is irritated by noises very easily. I have the air flow set about halfway, even at the highest setting it is still way quieter than the Tetra pump. Note though that on the low setting, the bubbles are not very profuse, so if you have a 20 gallon on larger, you will definitely wish to use the halfway or higher setting. The noise coming from the air stone is just a pretty and relaxing sound of bubbles, rather than what it sounded like before, which was like a little freight train coming out of the tank! I like how fine the bubbles are out of this type of air stone and will buy more of them in the future for sure. The stone is very heavy, so it is easy to position and stays put where you want it. I cannot speak for the longevity of this pump, but for the price, I'll happily replace it every so often if need be to get this amount quiet coming from an air pump, which I didn't even think was possible.

Fantastic product!
I had a tetra "whisper" pump that my husband complained about constantly so I decided to give this a try. I read other reviews that others digested getting a larger/ stronger pump than needed, so I purchased 2 of these. Wow! What a difference. I can't hear there air pump over the water filter with both going full throttle! Turning to half power makes them almost silent. I haven't had any issues with tubing detaching as others noted, but I made sure I put it on tight. I hope they last! I use one for my under gravel filter and the 2nd for decor bubbler. Just fantastic!
