EcoPlus Commercial Air 1 - 18 Watts Single Outlet


Great Hydro Pump
I had plants in deep water culture which began showing the signs of oxygen deprivation. I was running a couple of those wally-world pumps and it wasn't getting the job done. This pump has taken care of all that, with air to spare. As for sound, it is a touch louder than the two household pumps, but not too bad at all. If you're growing in a living space, such as your bedroom or living room, it's probably too loud. But if your grow area is in your basement or a closet, you'll never notice it. I highly recommend this pump for DWC. **** The brass air outlet is NOT standard aquarium air line size, it's a size up - but the deal comes with a 6" piece of hose and the gang valve that DOES reduce down to standard airline size. If you plan on going from the pump directly to your own gang valve assembly, you'll need to pick up a reducer at the hardware store.

The Air 1 Commercial Air pump is a great and durable product. I have had one running in my koi pond for 3 years now, non-stop, winter and summer, 24 hours a day and it is still going strong. Never had any trouble with it at all. Very powerful for the size and very quiet. Bought a second one for an additional pond.
Powerful
I bought this for my koi pond, the heat here in the summer is pretty intense and I felt the fish would benefit from some extra oxygen! I first tested it inside. When I turned it on it sounded like a freight train! Of course my first thought was this is not going to be good!! However once I got it all installed outside the noise was minimal. Between the filter, the water falls, the birds singing etc you could not hear it. It really is powefful and my fish love it, they love hanging out in all the bubbles. The air stone is 6 inches in diameter and works very well.IT DOES NOT COME WITH THE AIR STONE YOU MUST PURCHASE THE STONE SEPERATELY.

I purchased a small plastic container melted a hole for the tubing and another for the power cord and enclsoed the pump inside the container so it will not become wet. It also comes with a bar that has 5 ports on it so you can hook up several air stones at at time if you wish.

Highly recommend
