Review: Powerful Air Pump! - Why did you pick this product vs others?: I bought the air pump and air stones to assist in propagating plant trimmings. The bubbles and air flow helps root stimulation and people do buy them for their fish tanks for the same purpose if there are live aquatic plants. It's very quiet and has worked nicely with the included tubing. The air stone fits tight, it's snug at all points with no water leakage at all. I also like that it's creating more humidity that plants need, when I have it running in my open propagating bowl beneath my hanging plants. It's been an excellent value for the price and it's small size is perfect for concealing behind a flower pot.
Review: Really does the job well!! - Great price, good product!!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Should I keep this on 24/7? I cant really find a definitive answer.**
A: Sure you can. Ive have mine for little over half a year and i've left mine on 24/7, only turning it off for water changes at things like that. These are made to run a very long time continuously. Hope this helps!

**Q: What exactly does the check valve do? And, is it strong enough to push air through a 12 light changing air filter?**
A: Check valve uses to protect your air pump by preventing aquarium water from back siphoning during a power outage. This pump is not strong enough for your need. you could try this one ASIN: B072F2NTCY. Thank you.

**Q: does this unit vibrate?  and how physically large is it?   Thanks**
A: The unit does vibrate but it has feet to keep it from being loud. It's about the size of the palm of your hand. I have mine sitting on top of my filter and it fits perfectly.

**Q: Can you adjust the air flow. I feel its too strong for my mini bow 5 gal tank with single betta?**
A: No air flow adjustment,  but the stone is small.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loud Not Loud? Was sooo terrified to find out.
*by D***N on September 22, 2025*

Whew....finally put the air pump together for my 20 gallon fish tank. I already had an internal air filter inside while "cycling" my new tank and it is whisper quiet, but it was not giving enough surface agitation (upon learning after much internet learning and many youtube videos.) So I decided to also get a sponge filter and both this sponge filter and Pawfly air pump arrived at the same time. At first it seemed like rocket science to put it all together, but eventually figured it all out. I put that little red piece in backwards at first but was only getting one bubble at a time and remembered reading somewhere it may be in backwards, which it was. When I turned it in the other direction, then wow many awesome bubbles. So basically I was sooooo terrified that this was going to be soooo super loud and I read so many reviews on the air pump and braced myself for the noise like when I had a HOB filter and had to replace it with the internal filter and loved it so much. Well I plugged it in and WoW or Wow, super whisper quiet just like advertised. I did see in some of the comments that placing it on a towel or microfiber cloth would help with noise so I had a couple ready from my glasses case, the cloths that is. So sitting on 2 of those, I can hardly hear anything. The bubbles from the sponge filter is very minimal sounding and I put more water (dechlorinated) in the tank and It is sooo perfect and all is good.!!!! Sooo happy, now next step . . . to get some fish--- been cycling for about of month now. :0)
