Read All 10 Critical ReviewsToo loud for me
By Mamaof4 on Feb 23, 2022
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 I’m a big fan of Fluval, we own the FX4 which is super quiet.

doesn’t last
By Miel on Jan 9, 2022
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.

Powerful pump
By Discus on Sep 5, 2021
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.

Much louder than I expected
By Hoobiedoobie on Mar 6, 2021
Being FLUVAL I expected more I guess. It is very noisy if on high.

Great Pump!
By Becky on Jan 6, 2021
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!

Noisier than my Whispers
By FredinLA on Dec 11, 2020
It's driving me a little nuts. I've tried wrapping it with yoga mat material--just noisy. I'm going to try to return it.
