Review on 🐠 BPA-Free TRDP40 Aquarium Cleaner Siphon Pump for Original Cleaning by Eric Cortes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

So far so good! suitable for aquarium pumps and filters

I am very enthusiastic and satisfied with this product. The old Aqueon pump stopped working. I had one of those pumps with a tube that had to be moved up and down to get the water flowing, so I was really hoping I didn't have to use this method, which can be frustrating when it won't start flowing instantly. I have a 75 gallon aquarium with goldfish that are dirty so I have to drain about 15-20 gallons each week to keep the tank clean. Well, this pump has literally halved the time it takes. I used to spend a few minutes getting the water to flow with an old manual raise and lower pump I had, and then I had to stop and water each 5 gallon bucket and spend time refilling the pump . The pump consists of two fast pumps, and the water flows and it flows faster than the old pump. Now I have to say I've only used this pump 3 times so I'm not sure how long it will last. But I bought three of these right away because for the price I paid for Revain, I can buy three of these for the price of one of the big pet store hand pumps that don't work that well. Even if I have to replace it every year or so, it's still cheaper and easier than the old one I used. Don't use this as I'll be moving the end of the vacuum to suck up any debris from the gravel. If you would just change the water and not have to vacuum the gravel I could use that. My daughter has a 125 gallon tank and I bought her one to try on because she is having the same issues with her current pump that I was having with my old pump.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Cleanliness
