VIVOSUN 317GPH Commercial Air Pump 15W 6 Outlet 20 L/Min for Aquarium and Hydroponic Systems

I have it hooked up and running today I have six air stones on this and it is pumping massive amounts of air I had to open one of the two leftover valves all the way open to slow the air to the air Stones down a bit I am thoroughly impressed but how much air this pumps you can run 8 to 10 air stones without a problem" Put a 6-in piece of hose on the intake the same type of hose you have on the pressure side and it will silence this pump to almost no noise"This is what I did and it works for me

Decided to pick up the Vivosun Commercial 102W Aquarium air pump as my Higger aquarium air pumps kept slowly burning out. I needed a better-quality pump that could do the work of four Higger air pumps and last longer than 3 to 6 months. Since switching over to the Vivosun from the Higger pumps, I had no issues. The pump currently supplies air to four 18-inch bubble bars in my 450-gallon aquarium. The amount of air generated is impressive. All four bubble bars are running at with the valves wide open and there's still air to spare. Vivosun provides a generous 12 port manifold to allow for many connections from a single point. The pump is an impressive piece of equipment. Last thing to note, I created a video to do a noise demo. If you want to see the demonstration you can search in youtube the title of the video: VIVOSUN Aquarium Commercial Air Pump 1750 GPH 102W 110L/min 12 Outlet Noise Demo. In the video I stand about 6 or so feet from the aquarium before approaching it and opening the cabinet to show the difference in noise levels. What the audience is not aware of is I have already taken measures to lower the amount of noise being generated by the pump. I added a rubber mat underneath two 2x4s the Vivosun sits on dampening the noise quite a bit and currently bleeding off excess air. My plan in the near future is to see if I can further dampen the noise more by placing it in a Heavy-Duty container wrapped with noise absorbent/cancellation foam.My noise demonstration video on youtube. Just search on the title and you will see it:VIVOSUN Aquarium Commercial Air Pump 1750 GPH 102W 110L/min 12 Outlet Noise Demo**UPDATE 1/31/2023***After switching to the Vivosun pump now for several weeks. I'm quite happy with its performance. I managed to lower the noise more by using noise cancelling foam which I wrapped the cabinet of the aquarium with on all sides. This also helped with various ambience noises such as the FX6 canister filters too. I would highly recommend this pump to anyone who needs a reliable and powerful air pump.VIVOSUN Commercial Air Pump 1750 GPH 102W 110L/min 12 Outlet for Aquarium and Hydroponic SystemsSpecs:Weight: 7.5 PoundsWattage: 102WHeat Resistant Aluminum casing/housingElectromagnetic piston driven shaft (No rubber diaphragm)12 Port Manifold for air tub connections11/32 Primary Air Trunk Connector from copper valve to manifold110L/MIN of air produced1750 GPHReported Decibel level by Manufacturer: ~ or less than 60Rubber mounts to absorb vibration

I got this air pump because the one I had was getting tired and not making enough air. When I set up the pump I connected all of the air lines I had been using to the manifold and turned the pump on. The pump makes a considerable amount more noise than my old pump, but I figured that was the cost of getting more air. What I did not realized until latter was how much vibration the pump creates.I have the pump in a room upstairs, I was in the dinning room below the room and can hear the pump vibrate the room upstairs. I hung the pump up to try and minimize the vibration but it still shakes the whole room upstairs. I guess that is the cost of getting 70 L or air per minute.Other reviews said the pump got hot, mine has run a couple days now and it gets warm to touch, but not hot enough to burn you.update May 2025- How do you rate something that basically performs the intended function of pumping a lot of air, but overall fails due to high level of vibration and noise.I used this pump for a couple months and finally could not take the vibration and noise. I had the pump upstairs in a family room and you could hear the pump and feel vibrations from this pump downstairs and though the house. I lived with it for a while, but it kept getting worse until I had to stop and try something else.The pump housing is very warn to the touch and does create a considerable amount of heat.It would probably be a great air pump for outside or if you have a very solid surface to set or mount it on.
