 Low air pressure, very loud. October 31, 2007
Danielle R. Favreau (St. Louis, MO USA)
I read up on various pumps and decided to get this one. I plugged it in once I got it and it was really loud, none of my other pumps make any noise but this one makes a hum I can hear in my basement (it's on the first floor). I have two air hoses hooked up, one to a 48" flexible air tube and one to a 5" airstone. I figured this would be more than enough to power those two devices and it was - for about a month. Then the air tube had no bubbles but the disc was going great. I figured out that one of the air valves on the pump itself doesn't work any more. I'm going to a different brand completely and will sell this one with my smaller aquarium. It's great for a small tank but horrible for anything over 20 gallons (I used it in a 55 gallon).
 Worked OK for a while November 17, 2007

Worked great, relatively quietly, for two months or so. Needed to be replaced when its vibration started to shake the wall behind the fishtank.
 Much room for improvement November 19, 2007

Looks nice enough, but that's about it. Was noisy to start with, and downhill from there on.
Has double outputs, could not use just one. Finally got the tubes and set it up it to use both. Seems to get noisier as you 'load' it more i.e. tank depth. Have a 120 gal tank and this lasted about 6 weeks.
Performance started degrading after about 3, and by 6 weeks has all but lost one output with a near zero pressure.
Second output is also beginning to look iffy and doubt it will last much longer. I'd look elsewhere
I can't hear you my air pump is making too much noise... November 22, 2007
S. Hegedus (Great Lakes State)
How do you figure this is whisper quiet, it makes as much noise as the
ten dollar econo air pumps. Another triumph for the Whisper group of
badly tooled aquarium accessories. Never again.
 Silent?... November 26, 2007

Well it's a good air pump, I mean it does it's job. But it over advertises the "quietness". It depends on how quiet you're talking, I have one and honestly if you're house is completely silent these things are very loud and can be heard outside of a door and when you're in the room. I dunno, I just thought I'd let that be known to anyone that was expecting a dead silent air pump because this is not.
