Review on EcoPlus HGC728450 Eco Air1 Commercial Air Pump 1 - 18 Watt Single Outlet for Aquariums, Fish Tanks, Fountains, Ponds & Hydroponics – High Flow, Silver by Melissa Tucker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's not that loud unless you run it wide open.

The pump is a bit weaker than I thought, but still acceptable. I use it indoors and have found it gets a little warm. I decided to attach a wall wart to the CPU fan and place it next to the block. Works great and stays cool. If you plan on using it outdoors and the sun shines on it, I guarantee it will fry eventually. If you don't let the device run too far and shut off the valves a bit and give some counter pressure, so to speak, it calms down a lot. I also used a piece of hose about 8 inches long on the inlet, and tapping it the other way also helped calm it down. The last thing I would like to point out is that the valves are very accurate, I like them. The update is still going like a champ. From time to time you will need to remove the plastic back cover and clean the foam filter. Update 7-29-19 Device still works great! Update 12-9-20 Unit still killing 👌🔥🔥🔥

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Almost everything is ok
