I bought this at my local WalMart & I think I'm going back for another one! It works great, puts out quite a bit of air & isn't too noisy at all. I use it to power a small corner/box filter with some DeNitrate in it to help remove nitrates from my goldfish tank & it's doing it's job well. Lots of bubbles!
I bought this air pump to use with my five gallon hospital aquarium. I use it to operate the air stone and it does the job very well!
I bought this pump to use with my 10-gallon aquarium. It is powerful enough to run my 10 inch airstone, and absolutely quiet. I'm so happy with it that I bought another one for my 5-gallon tank as well. The second one is just as quiet. I have never had any problems with either, and I've had the first one for well over a year.
I bought my daughter a fish tank but the pump burned up rather quicly though her tank is only a 3 gallon tank this pump works great. No problems and easy to hook up and run.
It works petty good for up to 10 gallons I myself would get bigger for a 15. Otherwise its worth the money..
You can't beat the price on this one, but it would be better to buy a tetra one. This one is pretty loud, and not very powerful, but it gets the job done. I would say it should be a 5 gallon max for this one, since it is in my 5 gallon and isn't very powerful.
"Standard Aquarium tubing" is 3/16" which this pump takes and you need some. The pump air output in GPH (gallons per hour) is 18 GPH It is very noisy, but then again if noise isn't a problem and you want a disposible pump, you won't go wrong for only $6. Who knows, it might work a few years. The problem area is on the plastic connector area. They get brittle and break all by themselves, so it's really the luck of the draw depending if your pump happens to be especially strong or weak around that area. The vibrations of the pump can lead to the breakage all by themselves, so don't feel bad if you get more than a year, and don'rt forget Walmart has a 90 day return policy if it breaks that soon and you want to wait in customer service for a refund or exchange for a do-over...
I bought this for my 10 gallon tank in my office and it lasted about 5 months. The diaphragm has a tear in it. Looks like the screw that holds it on heated up and melted it. Spend the money and go with a better brand. Also can't find replacement parts or I would fix it myself.
I bought this air pump with the expectations that it would be silent while running but its vibration is little annoying specially when there is no other sound in your surroundings. If you are looking for a quiet pump then look somewhere else.
I've had this just under 1 month and the plastic attachment that the air hose goes on has already broken off after normal handling and gently trying to remove the air hose. It pulled the plastic piece right off with no force. (No wiggling or anything, just a straight tug and it broke right off) It was actually stuck in the end of the air hose. Just for comparison, I also have another air pump on a separate tank that I do the same with, and I have had that same pump since the late 1990's and it still works just as well and has never broke. (It's an AQT3001). Other things about this filter is it's very loud and will also move across flat surfaces if you don't secure it, so I had to eventually put a cloth under it because of the noise and movement. For the loud rattle/vibration it has, it doesn't have that much power. Once again, the old, out of date air pump I have is stronger, but quieter and doesn't move, so that's saying a lot about a product that is less than a month old.
