VIVOSUN 317-1750GPH Commercial Air Pump 20W-102W, 18L-110L/min, 6-12 Outlets Air Pumps for Aquarium and Hydroponic Systems

Do not BUYYYYY this product it easily over heat. Today April 7th of 2025. I ordered and delivered same day. I used it for a couple of minutes the airpump is overheating. TRUST Me!!!!

I hooked this up to my smallish backyard pond (100-200 gallons) and it looked like the water was boiling. The power was great, the problem is I could hear it quite clearly from my deck ~10m away. You can turn down the airflow with the levers, but the motor power is the same, so you're still wasting power and the motor will still be super loud. So if you have a largish pool outdoor for which you need that much airflow it's great, or if you're a restaurant with a bunch of big tanks to keep aerated. But the description suggests a home aquarium, and I can't imagine using it in my house at that noise level.

Built a homemade aeroponics system for growing plants and for rooting cuttings. It works great and produces lots of bubbles with the 6 air channels. It is in my garage so the noise does not bother me much, however you may consider this factor if it's positioned in your living area. I am assuming it could also be used for hydroponics systems

Running 7 sponge filters and keeps them running without a problem. It is a bit noisy, but I keep it in a closed drawer so it is quieter. Air flow is really good. Tried a different pump and nowhere near the volume and power this pumps out.

Best ai pump iv ever owned woud def suggest it and will buy again if need be !

Product arrived in a totaled Amazon box, as they no longer back with air pockets. But the pump survived unscathed, even though clearly dropped. I also dropped it from 6ft high onto a hard floor when it toppled off the shelf while running, and it didn't phase it. Things to note: I wanted to modify this to use as a gentle vacuum pump. I was pleasantly surprised to find the plastic intake cover had a tight sealing rubber o-ring. No modification necessary, this is a mild vacuum pump out of the box. I plugged it in and it ran immediately, no power switch. Reliable and cheap. After placing a finger over the end, I determined it was a very low pressure pump, as the manufacturer stated. So I rigged up a suction tube to lift water out of a container on the floor. Placed the pump on the counter, and flipped it on. It immediately lifted the water and sucked in into the pump, and it shut down abruptly. Oh no! I ruined it... Nope. Poured water out of the pump itself, plugged it in another outlet and confirmed it worked just fine. It was the GFCI breaker that tripped. (They work too!). I then unplugged it and tipped it. More water came out! I had failed to dry it out completely from before! This pump; you almost cant destroy it! Now to test the vacuum by lifting water... Placed on a high shelf with a 10ft clear suction tube to the floor, over 6' of elevation. The pump pulled the water right to 46.5", subtract 2.75" remaining in the container for 43.5" wc (water column) of vacuum. This equates to 1.57psi, or 226lb/ft. ~ 10.8kPa of vacuum. (1,1m wc). This is a very good little pump. This was the basic lowly 15w. Higher power may produce better performance. I'm happy with this. 4.5 stars instead of 5, because they state it requires a 1/4" ID tube. This is 6.35mm, to the actual 8.0mm outlet diameter. You need a tube between 7-8mm to fit easily. Also, the suction input is 8.9mm; 10.25mm over the barbs. So you need a 9-10mm tube here. Blow: 9/32" to 5/16" Vac: 5/16" to 3/8" Get the 5/16" heat the tube to fit.
