Customers say
Customers find the air pump powerful enough to run four small stones and appreciate its size, being fine for small tanks and taking up minimal space. The product works well and offers good value for money, with one customer noting it works non-stop for oxygenation. While some customers describe it as well-built and producing an amazing amount of air, others report it breaking after 38 days and producing hardly any air. The quietness receives mixed feedback, with some finding it super quiet while others say it’s noisy.

Great value-strong
Brand PawflySuper silentSize 10 gallonAirpumpUpdate: bought 10 gal pump but now have it sliced and one pump doing 55 gallon and 10 gallon tanks. So powerful I actually needed a valve to slow the air when I had it in the 55 gallon alone. Now I bought a second one for a tall 23 inch cylinder corner tank. The ten gallon air pump is running a back wall bubble stone creating a waterfall of bubbles in this 40 gallon. So, yes very powerful for a pump labeled 10 gallon. I suggest if you are using it on anything less that 30 gallons to get a valve to adjust the flow and not to blow out your fish : ). I love the small size. I replaced a very old pump that finally died on the 40 gallon and that pump was 3 x the size of this one. This has rubber feet and when placed correct makes VERY little noise. At one point I had one of these pumps aerating a 55 g, 20 g, and 1 gal all at once. So very strong. And again VERY quiet! The instruction were pictures only so being new to aquarium hobby I was a little intimidated setting up. But figured it out. I will always use this brand pump now! Pawfly.It comes with gereous amount of tube, one way calve, and stone. MAKE SURE you have you one way valve in correct direction or else the air will not flow. You will need to cut tube to add the one way valve. I have other tubes but this one is the best – not too stiff and not too soft! I am so impressed with this pump and kit! Cost on first one was about $16 for me 2023. The second purchase was on sale so I jumped on the offer!!!Original post: I like that it is small. Using in 5 gallon shrimp tank. Easy to set up. Had to cut the tube to insert backup valve but not a problem. Did not have that in instructions. Only picture instructions. VERY quiet when set up on rubber feet and just as long as tub near pump not up against something as it dies shake. It is not making any noise when set up correct. Pressure seems good. Using it with shrimp sponge filter.

Love it!!
Oh my I love this so much! Itâs actually pretty quiet, very low and works wonderfully! This would be great in an even larger tank (compared to mine) but not for a tank thatâs TOOO big. I was a bit confused at first on how to assemble as there were no instructions but Iâll try to break it down as best I can.1.) Cut the tubing into 2 equal parts2.) Attach one end of the tubing to the actual machine (thereâs a little spot to connect the tubing, just squeeze it on there & make sure it fits snug)3.) Now youâll be left with one tubing attached to the machine with an open end, on THAT open end- attach the red piece (thereâs one way valve)4.) Now take your other tubing (the one with nothing attached) and attach one end to the red piece (the valve)5.) On the last part of the tubing, attach that open end to the pumice stone (that little grayish thingy) and set it in your tank.6.) Plug in your cord to an outlet and watch those bubbles! ð«§~ I recommend buying those suction cups to keep your tubes in place & not floating around in the tank.~ Also, I saw another review on here that said the tubing starts to disintegrate after a while, so the tubing in my photos is not the same! The regular tubing (I attached an image at the end) is the actual one that comes in this item. (Its a more cloudy color as compared to the clear one in my tank thatâs I bought separately)Hope this helps! I know it was lengthy haha. But amazing purchase! Totally recommend!!

Great and exactly as described.
This worked great for our fish tank. It gave the perfect amount of bubbles-Not too much nor too little.

Works great but louder than expected
Works great. It moves because of the vibration so every time I move it to a quieter position it moves itself back to a louder position after a while. Regardless if there is a cloth underneath it, as soon as anything touches it….it gets louder, lol.Not an anger driven sound but just enough to annoy me after a while of listening to it in the background.

Good pump
Good little pump for the price
Xavier Baldwin –
kind of loud, but otherwise perfect
works well, strong bubbles, but it is kind of loud. if you can’t handle a vibrating hum, don’t buy. other than that, it’s perfect

Throw away the airline
I purchased this item to power a sponge filter in a small tank. I have used the pump, air hose, and check valve but cannot comment on the air stone.The pump works great and it is quiet as long as it is positioned flat on a surface. If something is pressed against it or it is not flat on the surface, it will make a rattling or vibrating noise. This was also true for a name-brand pump I purchased before this one. If you reposition the pump the noise will cease.The check valve works great as well. I’ve lost power twice since it was installed and it protected the pump.I would NOT recommend using the included airline. It has an opaque, cloudy appearance rather than a clear one like the line you buy at the pet shop. Unfortunately this is caused by a coating that quickly degrades in water. As you can see in the photos, after a week and a half the coating on the airline is peeling and flaking off. I have white particles suspended throughout my tank water and all over the black rocks in the tank. Some were big enough to pick out, and once they got on my fingers they kind of melted into a goo that I had to wipe off. So, this airline is coated with something that degrades quickly underwater. It also quickly takes on discoloration.Luckily I had some line from my local fish store to replace it with. I have snails in the tank so I know they have consumed some of these plastic particles. So far they seem fine but I’m pretty annoyed that the air line was not water safe. (Note that the part of the air line that was not underwater has not started degrading.)Throw the included air line away and buy air line at your local fish store. The other items work fine. I would encourage the manufacturer to remove this air hose from the package. The other items are still a good value without it.

Great buy
Bought multiple air pumps and this one is quieter than the $20 pump I have on a similar tank. I also purchased another âquietâ cheap air pump on Amazon but itâs so loud I have it hanging in a mason jar with a rubber lid and itâs still pretty noisy.

Was cool that it came with all the stuff. Pretty much exactly what you pay for!

This is the third unit purchased in the last month. The first broke down, the second was as noisy as a cement mixer, but this one is excellent. It delivers good output, whilst being very quiet. Only time will tell re its longevity, but so far, so good.

Despite it is indicated “silent”.

Great price, fast shipping on a small, quiet pump. It comes with an air stone and is more than enough to keep my tropical fishes happy in the 20 gallon tank. Very good aeration happening in the tank. I noticed my dwarf gourami hasn’t been coming up for air as much.
