Fluval Air Pump for Aquariums

I’m a big fan of Fluval, we own the FX4 which is super quiet. After reading up on this air pump I decided to go ahead with it. I do want to say I’m not noise sensitive, but there is a steady loud noise from this pump. There is no dial to turn down airflow as it is stated in the description, I’m sure if I could turn it down it wouldn’t be so bad. Also this put off a ton of air, which I’m sure is fine for most but my baby turtles are not fans.

At first, I was really pleased with this pump. After 10 months, it has become really noisy. I have taken it apart to see if there were loose screws, but I couldn’t find anything wrong. I’m so disappointed in this pump. I’m replacing it with a Tetra Whisper instead.

I am SUPER happy with this. So quiet i. I. Hear it and I sleep in the same room it's in! Much quieter then my whispers. I'll be switching the one whisper I have left to this fluval model!

Great price, fast shipping my pump malfunctioned I contacted every pet store in the Cincinnati area no one had it and if they ordered, it could be 7 to 10 days I ordered on Sat got it on Monday 5 star service

Chewy service is efficient, order shipped and arrived on time as dated. The pump is strong enough that I split it to supply 2 tanks (55/40gal). The pump does make noise but not too loud, totally acceptable to me. The bubbling water noise cover it up pretty good. I have to pay attention to pick out the pump hum.

have 6 air stones going without a hessitation can handle more air decor if I want

I've only just now got this product and only had it running today but so far the product holds up the my expectations. Its Quiet and works well, the tubing fits on very snug, and I can't even hear any vibrations because it has rubber feet on the bottoms. Overall a good product, I've already owned a Fluval filter and trust if there were any issues the brand or chewy would fix them. As for this company, I love using chewy... It came on time, it only took two days to come. I purchased a quantity of 1. Nowhere can I find it says a quantity of 2 in the description, but when I received my package I received 2 of them. Though that's probably just luck, and I won't be expecting it again...

Finally a pump that works in my 75 gal tank! I have had trouble finding a pump that works well in 75 gal. This one works very well Thanks Chewy!

Fluval is one of the top end brands for everything aquarium stuff and they have certainly earned it!!! I have tested multiple types of items in various brands and fluval always comes out on the top. This air pump is very quiet (not silent) and packs a punch for power! This is able to provide plenty of tank aeration for our 55gal turtle tank. Turtles eat a lot of meat based food that can lead to a protein issue in the tank when you don’t have proper aeration. All fluval products have amazing warranties. Good Warranty policies on aquarium stuff is extremely important. Also fluval is one of the top brands that have the ability to repair products depending on the situation.

In need of a powerful air pump to supply a large bubbler at the bottom of my 72g tank, I chose Fluval because I have been very happy with my 407 canister filter. This air pump, unlike all my old varieties, delivers. It’s on the large size, but looks good and has adjustable air flow. It easily powers the 4” air stone 19” below the surface, and the sound is barely noticeable. I expect to add another smaller bubbler without any problem.
