What does “non UL” mean?
Answer by Chewy • Jun 03, 2018
This product is Non UL, meaning it is not Underwriters Laboratories approved, which are standards for cable and wiring. Low voltage items do not require UL inspection.
How am I able to hook up three airlines to this product?
Answer by Chewy • Jun 06, 2019
The size 060 and Size 100 have 2 air ports while the other sizes have only one. There is no way to hook up three lines to these pumps.
does it come with tubing?
Answer by Chewy • Nov 29, 2018
This pump does not include tubing. You will need air line tubing, a check valve, and an air stone, bubble wand or ornament. Air pumps don't come with these items because there are so many variations and ways of providing air to the tank or installing an accent.
I have the one for the 100 gallon. Wondering if I can only connect one airline or both have to be connected. I feel like if I connect only one the other side still blows air, or is there anyway to shut/close the other airline?
Answer by Chewy • Apr 13, 2018
While this Pump has 2 air ports, it is possible to just use 1. Simply place the tubing on the port you'd like and the other air port will not be active.

Whisper air pump

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.

Not a whisper, but still good

This pump is a tad louder than the name implies but it's still a fairly soft, even hum, so it doesn't bother me. The rubber feet keep it pretty quiet. I use it with a sponge filter for my 6 gallon tank. It was a bit strong for me so I got a valve to slow the airflow. This item does not include airline tubing, but you can get plenty for just a few bucks here or by the foot in stores.

Works amazing

This filter works amazing, I have it in 2 different 10 gallon tanks and I love them! Its never failed me once I have multiple things hooked up to it and it works amazing I would definitely recommend it!

Really great air pump

This air pump isn't very big, but it works hard and is very reliable. Yeah, it can vibrate and make noise against hard surfaces, but that's easily fixed by placing the air pump on a mat or folded cloth. I've just ordered another for a larger tank I'm planning to set up soon. Buy this air pump, you won't regret it.

Works but louder than expected

Pumps a lot of air but it was louder than I expected. There is a lot of vibration from the pump and it has a quiet roar to it. So in the end it works well and I am still using it but I am on the lookout for something quieter. I'm new to aquariums so maybe it isn't loud in comparison to others? I'm glad I am not in the room with it all the time.

works well, good output, not super noisy

I'm using the pump "for up to 20 gal" in my 29 gallon tank, and the output it pretty good with a simple small air stone. It makes some noise, which is expected, but it's less noise than the pump it replaced, which was meant for a higher capacity tank than what I have.

works well but louder than expected

I got this for my 2 1/2 gallon tank, it worked as expected. I will say it is a little louder than I expected and actually was vibrating so much it would start to move on my desk, so I had to set it on a towel. After a while you get used to the noise so it’s not that bad. Highly recommend it for smaller tanks.

This is without the quietest pump I have ever had. I hooked a bubble wand to it. The bubbles are beautiful and the guppies are much friskier than when it was just the filter. The Cory cats seem happier and more active also.
