TETRA TEC/SECONDNATURE WHISPER 60 AIR PUMP

Whisper air pumps provide reliable service at an economical cost. Efficient and easy-to-use, Whisper air pumps can handle the aeration needs of aquariums from 40 gallons. This pump, as the title says, is surprisingly quiet, the sound of the bubbles and the waves in my tank are actually louder than this pump, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that. I have an old, square shape, Aquaculture pump that was bugging me it was so loud. The Tetra Whisper pump emits a very, almost unnoticed hum. If you ask me if I have any complaints about this pump, I'd say its size, but that's a minor issue for me, the dome shape of the pump was intentionally designed to reduce the amount of noise it makes, and it works. The pump measurements are as follow: 7.5 inches long, 4.5 inches wide and 3 inches high. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase, the pump is well built, high quality and made to last. The best feature of course, its almost silent operation, I don't have to crank the volume up on my TV anymore. One last tip, if you want this pump, or any other pump to make less noise, place it on top of a thick sock or an old fashioned mouse pad. That should absorb some of the vibrations.
