Having bought a “Blagdon” air pump prior to this, the difference is like night and day. This pump is probably as close to silent as you can get. The pump emanates a low buzzing sound which is a little quieter than an electric toothbrush.
I use it for my 35 gallon pond, running the pipe line (bought a longer pipe separately) from my shed to the pond. Works great and provides lots of aeration.
Would definitely recommend.
Easy to set up, very quiet, my normal filter is noisy but the air pump is silent. I’ve placed mine below the the tank and it’s working fine.
My guppys love swimming into tbe bubbles and as I’ve only been using it for one day, I can’t say if it’s cleaning the water but my betta seems happier as there isn’t a rush of water as I had before.
I can definitely recommend.
4.0 out of 5 stars Quie
Compared to my old air pump, it is much quieter, more air volume per minute and uses less electrical power. Especially like the fact that it came with all the accessories to use straight away.
5.0 out of 5 stars Good pump!
I tried a few pumps from Amazon which claimed to be silent – they weren’t, so they all went back.
This one is as near to silent as I’ve ever got, so I recommend it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!
I’ve purchased many air pumps over the years but this is by far the best! Very quiet operation and to have the air stones, tubes etc included makes it definitely value for money!
5.0 out of 5 stars Thought it was loud, until...
Okay guys, I got this to circulate oxygen around the tank, and it looks to to do the job.
I have a 60l tank, but i got the pump with 2 outlets, incase I wanted to use both. I am using one.
I plugged it in, and thought, dang thats a loud buzz. I read a few other reviews about the noise and was preparing to send it back.
Being the tech guy I am, i thought I’d tinker a bit. I then covered the remaining outlet with my thumb, and the noise went away! It was the air rushing through the open nozzle!!
I snipped a bit of tubing off, attached it to the unused nozzle, then plugged it, and now I am at piece!
I gave mostly 5 stars, but 4 for the “Easy to Install” as you have 2 tubes, 2 connector and 2 nozzles. It seems you need 4 tubes.
I assume the intention is to cut the 2 tubes in half to make 4, and thus the second loop, but it would be great if the instructions confirmed this.
4.0 out of 5 stars I brought a second one
After my 1st purchase of one of these I was very pleased with how quiet it is, I have 2 fish tanks so thought I’d buy another, the second one isn’t as quiet so have used it on my ” kitchen fish tank “. Still much quieter than my previous pump, but not as quiet as my 1st one of these. Would still recommend and have ordered one for a spare so I have 3
5.0 out of 5 stars Just great!
The pump really is silent, I have it in my room and can sleep with it turned on (it can still be heard though so if you are a light sleeper or can be disturbed by a constant buzzing noise). 10/10! Great quality for the price it costs.
5.0 out of 5 stars Aquarium pump
Easily fitted, I’ve used two stones in 120L tank with my old pump to add extra air. This improved quality of water.
Easy to install, air tubes are generously long,little noisy which is not an issue. Would do with clearer instructions on how to connect it safely(maybe little arrow on the valve). In overall, I really like it, great product. Thanks.
4.0 out of 5 stars Does what it says but...
So this product does indeed perform as required. It’s easy to set up and gives more than enough pressure for a 110litre tank (30 gal).
But… it is loud, well louder than it should be in my opinion. Wrapping it in a towel helped and just about made it bearable. Also the power cord is quite short. Just something to be conscious of.
4.0 out of 5 stars Useful and superb quality, value for money
This is a really useful piece of kit, and does the job perfectly. Personally I don’t feel that the product is too loud, and have it on constantly in the living room with minimal disruption. Compared to some others on Amazon price-wise, I wouldn’t look elsewhere for an equivalent, as this does everything that I need it to.
The only reason I give this 4 stars and not 5 is due to the fact that as others have mentioned, I have found the tubing to periodically “slip” out from the connection, or from the unit due to air pressure. It’s a minor inconvenience, and doesn’t deter this from being an excellent product.
Excellent item, just as described.
I liked everything about this air pump. Sleek design and is very quiet. The item was a very reasonable price and additional set-up parts in the box were easy to install. The installation video was very helpful and it was quick to set up.
5.0 out of 5 stars Quiet and reliable
I chose this for my 2 Gallon planted bowl. It has been great, on constantly, low noise and aerating the water perfectly.
Excellent Air pump
I have had a few air pumps in my time and this one is by far the quietest good output for size looks good and well made.
No it’s not absolutely silent but not far off!!! I purchased this for my new barb tank and I have to say if you are looking for an air pump you really can’t go wrong with this one even my wife approves of the noise level so it must be good, would definitely buy again and try more products from the range.
5.0 out of 5 stars Quiet & powerful
Very quiet which was the main reason for purchase because I have ridiculous OCD’s, however this I great for me & my fish.
Highly recommended.
5.0 out of 5 stars Just the job
Does what it says, easy to set up and looks grea
Excellent air pump
To provide extra air for our 240 litre aquarium, this air filter is excellent, easy to set up and loads of bubbles defenetly see the difference in clarity of water as well as fish movement. Highly recommended.
4.0 out of 5 stars Excelle
After having a couple of air pumps previously this one is definitely the most quie
This air pump is really quite good. You can adjust the airflow. It has a safety valve for backflow. The tubing is quite long and sufficient for the job. The only thing I disliked was that the backflow valve has no proper instructions on how to position it or which way. There is a video if you scroll through the description pictures. But nothing in the written instructions.
4.0 out of 5 stars Reasonably quie
This is reasonably quiet and does a decent job of adding some oxygen into your tank. Being able to adjust the flow rate is useful.
It's oh so quiet,it's oh so still....
Compared to the so called top of the range there’s no comparison. I’m guessing they had nothing to compare it too! This NICREW UX5 is fantastic so so quiet and the output of two lines is spot on. If you are reading this as a view to buying one then trust me,you WILL NOT be disappointed.
I don’t very often leave reviews but this has to be one of the best budget pumps I’ve bought!
A lot quieter than those from big brands, I barely hear anything, the sound of bubbles hitting the water surface is louder, and holds a lot more power than other nano pumps I’ve tried!
Very quite, works well but could do with having more instructions
The air pump is great, nice and quite but could have done with having instructions with it as you have to cut the piping to put the anti-flow valve in place and I ended up having to look up videos online on how to do it. Other than that it’s working great.
4.0 out of 5 stars It’s OK
It’s ok. A bit noisy and the air stones are a bit rubbish. But for the money it does the job
Really is silent.
Was very sceptical about previous reviews about how quiet this was. Needed to replace an extremely noisy pump. But 3 weeks on it is still so quiet I have had to check several times to see if it is actually working! All you can hear are the sound of the bubbles. Long may it last!
Aquarium air pump.
I purchased the 1.7kw single air pump which it says on the description as being ultra silent, it CERTAINLY is not ultra silent.
It is a very good pump but it is NOT silent.
I would have liked a couple more little suction stickers with it because there was only one.
Very good quality but the pump has to be located higher up than the tank so you will need a shelf or something above the tank for it to work.
Up to now very good pump very quiet, the bubbles create more noise, comes with check valve pipe and controll valve all fit well and haven’t come of with just been pushed on, helped with my cloudy cycling tank, as others I was sceptical after reading reviews and price, but so glad I got one and didn’t pay over the odds for a branded one, only gripe power cable is a little short that’s why the drop in sta
