FOR REAL REVIEW: Aquarium Pumps and Filters

Okay let's skip the idiots who have troubles and give a star and also skip the idiots who don't know and give five stars. The truth is that this pump has above average performance and has quality parts and metal outlets. The truth is that while the pump is capable of pumping more air at maximum, it is not designed to do so without losing life and making more noise. It is about half quieter than any Wisper pump (!). It is exceptionally quiet and with good performance almost halfway through! Also, don't use splitters if you want your pump to run long. It has TWO exits. It is obvious that using only two elements is optimal. Need more connected things? Get another one as they are cheap for the performance. Want to be cheap and stupid, no problem. Simply use this pump for multiple lines and connect both outputs together so that one side acts on the other and finally increase the power on the dial. just turn it on! Then you come back 3 months later to cry and complain about the one star rating because it didn't work out or was too loud. We don't have to listen to crybabies. People in our time just aren't able to take responsibility and admit their mistakes. And yet they're not entirely to blame, because has anyone ever taught you how to use a simple pump?! Let's face it, most air pumps today and in the past have been made by companies that have relied on you to overload them so that if they break, they can sell you more. Pages into a multi-valve splitter. What is happening is that now the pressure is bouncing back as both sides are now being loaded from the other side. The ideal way to prevent silicone pump valves from prematurely breaking down over time. Just be smarter than the manufacturers designed obsolescence and get some pumps with adjustable disc turned down (for noise reduction) and multiple outlets (like this one) and you'll be happy. Remember not to match both sides (big mistake). and do not burden the pump with a multi-valve splitter. Find a puddle of water on your floor. Much luck. Update, ok, so I'm still running the same two pumps, and although the power seems a bit smaller (maybe the first), the pump still works well and is quiet. This is the case when using large air vents, so the stress is greater than when I use simple sponge filters that have almost no resistance. So, I have another tank and it's time to buy another pump. This pump.
