ALITA INDUSTRIES Air Pump, 40 LPM

To sum this up if you need an air pump for your large fish tank this is the one to get. I, like many people have been through a large number of air pumps and they all wear out over time putting out less and less air. Most of the pumps do not have replacement parts so you are stuck buying yet another pump. I bought the 15 LPM model and it is MORE than enough to run 2 or 3 large (120 gallon) tanks with large airstones. My last pump was a EcoPlus Commercial Air 1 - 1 to 18 Watts 793 GPH and it worked for awhile but it too was losing pressure. It was very noisy in comparison and always running hot. This pump is built like a tank and is VERY quiet compared to the old one. Yes this pump is expensive in comparison to others but it is proof "you get what you pay for". Do you want to keep spending over and over buying cheap pumps? From what I have read this pump also has a rebuild kit but it is only needed after several years of use.It comes as shown in the picture. The adapters are plastic and I would have preferred them to be brass. You will need to purchase all other plumbing on your own so I recommend getting an adjustable gang valve to control air flow because it puts out a LOT of air for its size.I just got this pump and I am impressed . Hopefully it will last longer than the year or less that the others did.

Amazing product. I was able to retire about 10 individual smaller pumps and use just this one. I sold the old pumps and really this cost me nothing. The sound is almost silent. the only noise it the sounds of the bubbles. I am running it on 20 tanks and I know I could add maybe 10 more no problem.Highly recommend this for anyone with large tanks or a bunch of smaller tanks.

Running air stones for RDWC system. Powering eight 5 gallon buckets and one 25 gallon res. In addition it is powering two 5 gallon bubble buckets and one 5 gallon tea brewer. All with no problem. Was running one of the commercial style 8 way pumps and this AL-40 is so much less noisy, and a lot more powerful.Pros: 1. quiet2. powerful, can power multiple systems ,3. Customer service is fast to act4. simple, effective, solid construction with parts to rebuild if needed5. good warrantyCons: 1. Pricey, but so far it seems to be a great value. Does the work of two "commercial pumps".2. Does not come with an air manifold so factor an extra 15-30 into your budget.3. Fired up first time and it smelled very much like parts cleaning solvent/gasoline. thought it was therubber hose but it was coming from the pump. Called the manufacturer who stated this was common.Plan on running it 5 days or so with nothing connected before the smell goes away.and before you put it to use.

This is a nice pump. It’s currently supplying air for 18 tanks with air to spare. It is also very quiet.

Koi seem much more active with this amazing amount of oxygenation !! Especially comforting to have when I’m on vacation in case my waterfall pump fails !!!!!

Blows a ton of air that is! Im still testing for longevity but it works quite well, generates a lot of current with two large sponge filters on a 400g, 32" deep stock tank.

Not sure why some reviews state that it’s loud and can be heard from 3 rooms away. I had mine for 8 years and it only turns off for 3 days every 4 months. Still works great and it’s only loud with nothing connected. Once you connect your tubing you should hear a slight hum I actually have to touch it to make sure it’s on because my circulating fan that’s in the same room is louder.

I like it’s easy to use
