Complete bullshit for air pump accessories

This is complete bullshit. I've tried them with a standard air pump and a 950gph industrial air pump and could only get huge bubbles to come out of the top of the unit. I even put it on its side and no luck. I read in another review where someone used Apoxy to seal the top to fix this. I did not purchase this item brand new just to be able to repair it! .Simply put. They just don't work. I get the same effect by just dropping the airline into the water.

Pros
  • nice touch
Cons
  • compatibility

Works really well. for fish and aquatic animals

The extra few inches on this air vent went a long way in getting our green pea soup into a cleaner pond. We added products to remove algae and beneficial bacteria. It wasn't until the air stones were in the pond that things really started to change. Thank you for a great product that saved us the hassle of draining and cleaning the pond. We've had smaller airstones, but these big ones really made a noticeable difference in the water, and our fish seem to be moving bigger and 'happier'.

Pros
  • weight
Cons
  • old

Not as good as I thought

Not as good as I thought. There aren't many bubbles. Most of the air escapes from the joint seals. One of them looks like the connector could snap at the slightest pressure. I was really excited about these based on the reviews but now I'm disappointed. I need them to replace inch and foot lengths in my hydroponic strawberry culture. At least my old ones still work! This is definitely not an improvement. Haven't decided yet whether to return it or not. If they improve by tomorrow I'll save them

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • No

the best diffusers for your pond. when used correctly.

After reading the reviews of these airstones I decided to buy some epoxy and smoothed the entire top of the stone where the inlet tube is with epoxy. Let it dry for a few days and installed six of these in our pond (I also installed a high volume, six tube air pump that I bought on Amazon). great energy from sucked air! I think it's important that the epoxy covers the entire top circle. Also make sure you have a powerful air pump. Their weight also helps secure them to the ground.

Pros
  • Quality Construction
Cons
  • Requires an outlet

I can only speak for hydroponic applications, DWC pumps at 950 gallons per hour (enough power). I have 6 of these and they all pale in comparison to the smaller round air stones. They just blow big bubbles from above and at a very slow speed. I tried 6 different Airstone designs and this one came in last. You don't have to epoxidize it to make it work well, that's ridiculous. Their only advantage is that they stay in place due to their weight. I found a much better weighted one that is…

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

No customer support for problems

First of all, I hate leaving negative comments and only do so when I'm trying to resolve an issue with a manufacturer. There is no problem support from the manufacturer and no troubleshooting options. I contacted the company because one of the two air stones I received was not working properly. You can see that there is a clear difference in the video of my hydraulic installation. When I change the hose and sides to my new air pump, the problem stays with the same brick. I contacted the company

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not sure
