Basic Installation: Place the Whisper Air Pump on a surface lower than the water level of the terrarium. To avoid damage for accidentally spilled water, do not place the pump directly below the terrarium. Use a check-valve between the pump and the terrarium. It helps stop water from siphoning into your air pump in case of an electrical power failure or when removing filters from terrariums.
Above-Tank Installation: Place the Whisper Air Pump on a shelf at least 12 inch higher than the water level of the terrarium, but not directly above the terrarium. NOTE: The shelf should have a raised edge to prevent the pump from sliding off.
Custom Installation: Use a Whisper Air Pump with 2 ports for alternate installation. NOTE: Use a Tee connector with your 2-port Air Pump for applications that require only one source of air. Air-control valves create multiple air sources. Use the valves to route the air from the Whisper Air Pump to different tanks, filters, air stones or air-operated ornaments. Adjust the air-control valves to regulate air supplied to tanks, filters, air stones and air-controlled ornaments. On 3-way valves, Knob 1 regulates airflow to Nozzle 3, and air flows through Outlet 2 unimpeded. Use end caps at the end of the line.

I thought from all the other reviews that this would be quieter or at least on the quiet side of pumps. This pump if the tubing isn’t exactly where it likes is so so loud and it vibrates so hard it shakes the whole cabinet I have the tank on and moves around. I had to put something under it to stop it from moving and dampen the vibrating sound.
Some found the pump to be noisy which was a concern but presently surprised it is very quiet. Just a light hum. The output for the bubble wall was a lot more than I expected also. Was for me a great buy.
I am an aquarium hobbiest with multiple (7? 8? 10?) tanks. Every tank runs a sponge filter, and only 2 are close enough to share the same pump. So I’ve purchased many air pumps. This is the air pump I use exclusively now. It’s inexpensive, effective, and runs quietly. Pretty much all you need in an air pump!
Love the motor . It is very quiet and does a great job. Would definitely recommend.
After i set it up i can barely hear it. I was even worried it would produce enough air but it proved to be better than satisfactory
Its a fish tank pump what am I to say I have bot before there good.
Very nice and works very well. Delivered quickly.
I like these pumps, because they work well, are quiet and don't tip over or slide like other pumps. The price is right, too.
I bought two of these to use in my betta tanks. The first one got set up without issues. When I went to test the second one, I wasn’t getting any air flow. I looked on Google and YouTube for possible answers and found one. One of the magnets was out of balance and was super easy to fix. I tested it again and and it worked perfectly. I’ve got plenty of air flow.
Got the pump today was excited to get it and begin to use it and I plugged it in and it way loud, can be heard all the way in the living room. I read reviews about these being good pumps but mine must of got damaged during shipping because there wasn’t hardly any packing material in the box. Gonna have to contact chewy and see if I can get a replacement sent and I hate doing that because it takes up their time.
