Tetra APS 150 Smooth-running aquarium air pump, black

This was such a good buy. I was hearing a constant hum through the shared wall from my next-door neighbour's fish tank air pump. I bought this APS 150 for the neighbour and presented it as a gift when I told him about The Hum. As soon as he replaced the pump, I couldn't hear a peep from the fish tank any more through the wall, and the distracting hum was gone. A great outcome.

Not silent but I don’t think there’s such thing as a silent air pump, mine is in the cupboard under the tank and it’s not much louder the the filter, seems pretty good so far with one air stone.

Does the job but quiet noisy

I originally bought the 400 model for my 250L tank, however the model was too much too loud. The 150 model is much more quiet, I would say barely noticeable and still adequately powers my air stone.

not as quiet as I hoped. the air flow was reasonable and with two different stones I was able to nail in both micro bubbles and big whoppers that burst on the surface. value.... meh. neither here nor there. quite a large pump for such a small pump rating... I guess the big legs and rubber feet to stop vibrations are the root cause of that. buy again.....? probably not. Ive had better before from the likes of hydor and fluval.

I had an idea of what to expect as I've owned an APS50 for several years and use it on a smaller tank, however the power of the APS150 was even greater than I had anticipated - its running two filters in a 100 litre tank with ease. Its a stylish modern design and runs virtually silent! I am using it to replace an old RENA 301 - which made a bit of a racket - and this is a really pleasant change. Hearty recommendations - at under 20 quid its a real bargain - delivery was speedy.

I bought this as a replacement for an Ehiem equivalent which kept blowing the pipe off no matter how hard I jammed it back. Its powering a single air stone in 100 litre tank, purely for decorative purposes! Its been running for 24hrs and in my experience (kept fish for over 20 years!) its best to let air pumps run for this kind of time before making a decision on if its noisy or not. It gives the diaphragm a chance to warm and soften a bit. They all are noisy when they are first switched on. It’s pumping the air through admirably and is very very quiet so I am very pleased. Its interesting four legged design does seem to stand up to the blurb on the box and I am very happy with it. As for reliability, who knows but if it packs in I'll update!

was ok but went loud after 2 months so brought another brand

El enchufe es el inglés, lo cuál parece una broma porque se vende en Amazon.es. El producto parece bueno según las críticas de otros usuarios (en Reino Unido).

Nachdem wir einen Steckerzusatz organisiert hatten, arbeitete die Pumpe einwandfrei. Leider wurde der Steckerzusatz nicht mitgeliefert, sodass die Tetra APS 150 silent Luftpumpe erst einmal nicht in die normalen Stecker passte und nicht angeschlossen werden konnte. Da nicht jeder den zusätzlichen Steckeraufsatz für unsere gebräuchlichen Stecker in Vorrat hat, ist diese Luftpumpe nach dem Auspacken erst einmal so nicht zu gebrauchen. Dies sollte der Hersteller beachten oder im Internet bei Amazon dazuschreiben, dass ein passender Steckeraufsatz hierfür gebraucht wird.

Our 1.5 watt pump is as strong as this 3.4 watt. It's quiet and works, just a little disappointed with the power.

El enchufe no es europeo

For some reason the item received has a UK power plug. Not sure why you would sell devices in Germany with a UK power plug without specifically telling this in the description of the item. Sending it back.
