The media could not be loaded. Brand PawflySuper silentSize 10 gallonAirpumpUpdate: bought 10 gal pump but now have it sliced and one pump doing 55 gallon and 10 gallon tanks. So powerful I actually needed a valve to slow the air when I had it in the 55 gallon alone. Now I bought a second one for a tall 23 inch cylinder corner tank. The ten gallon air pump is running a back wall bubble stone creating a waterfall of bubbles in this 40 gallon. So, yes very powerful for a pump labeled 10 gallon. I suggest if you are using it on anything less that 30 gallons to get a valve to adjust the flow and not to blow out your fish : ). I love the small size. I replaced a very old pump that finally died on the 40 gallon and that pump was 3 x the size of this one. This has rubber feet and when placed correct makes VERY little noise. At one point I had one of these pumps aerating a 55 g, 20 g, and 1 gal all at once. So very strong. And again VERY quiet! The instruction were pictures only so being new to aquarium hobby I was a little intimidated setting up. But figured it out. I will always use this brand pump now! Pawfly.It comes with gereous amount of tube, one way calve, and stone. MAKE SURE you have you one way valve in correct direction or else the air will not flow. You will need to cut tube to add the one way valve. I have other tubes but this one is the best - not too stiff and not too soft! I am so impressed with this pump and kit! Cost on first one was about $16 for me 2023. The second purchase was on sale so I jumped on the offer!!!Original post: I like that it is small. Using in 5 gallon shrimp tank. Easy to set up. Had to cut the tube to insert backup valve but not a problem. Did not have that in instructions. Only picture instructions. VERY quiet when set up on rubber feet and just as long as tub near pump not up against something as it dies shake. It is not making any noise when set up correct. Pressure seems good. Using it with shrimp sponge filter.

This is great for a little bird bath or something like that outside. It works really well and I’ve never had any trouble with it. It’s very easy to put together in this size is perfect. Definitely a great buy and will buy again!

Works well not super quiet but not loud & annoying either perfect for our fair fishes. The pump is sturdy and works from an plug so it's convenient cuz the power stays on not battery changing.

Good but gets noisy when it touches up to something.

This is the most silent air pump Ive ever had, Im about to order my 3rd bc I love it!! I have 2 running in the same room 24/7 and there is that very minimal vibration depending on where u set the base but otherwise it is essentially mute! I have it connected to a filter and a pump via split adapter and the airflow on both is amazing. Amazing quality and design!

Very quiet, reliable and inconspicuous. So pleased with this pump that I'm planning to purchase second to run as supplemental filter for another aquarium.

I purchased this item to power a sponge filter in a small tank. I have used the pump, air hose, and check valve but cannot comment on the air stone.The pump works great and it is quiet as long as it is positioned flat on a surface. If something is pressed against it or it is not flat on the surface, it will make a rattling or vibrating noise. This was also true for a name-brand pump I purchased before this one. If you reposition the pump the noise will cease.The check valve works great as well. I've lost power twice since it was installed and it protected the pump.I would NOT recommend using the included airline. It has an opaque, cloudy appearance rather than a clear one like the line you buy at the pet shop. Unfortunately this is caused by a coating that quickly degrades in water. As you can see in the photos, after a week and a half the coating on the airline is peeling and flaking off. I have white particles suspended throughout my tank water and all over the black rocks in the tank. Some were big enough to pick out, and once they got on my fingers they kind of melted into a goo that I had to wipe off. So, this airline is coated with something that degrades quickly underwater. It also quickly takes on discoloration.Luckily I had some line from my local fish store to replace it with. I have snails in the tank so I know they have consumed some of these plastic particles. So far they seem fine but I'm pretty annoyed that the air line was not water safe. (Note that the part of the air line that was not underwater has not started degrading.)Throw the included air line away and buy air line at your local fish store. The other items work fine. I would encourage the manufacturer to remove this air hose from the package. The other items are still a good value without it.

This is a great little pump. I have it on my five gallon tank with a sponge filter for my goldfish fry. It's providing the perfect amount of airation without being over powerful. It is a great value for the price. We have several tanks running in the house, and I will purchase it again if I need another.
