Commercial Air Pumps

I will be buying a commercial air pump with multi outlet to replace my three air bubblers. Anyone with any experience with these? I heard they were decently quite and i will attempt to run it indoors if my wife doesn't complain about the noise. If she does i will have to route it from outside to the inside. The multi outlet will allow me to regulate each valves pressure and if they are on or off. So i will only need one pump for all my tanks.

I am buying the Eco Plus 3 35 watt... here is a little information I took from a site.

Convenient to operate without oil or much noise.
Cylinders and pistons are made of excellent materials, making the pump strong, durable.
Will meet many requirements of pumps with air dividers from four to twenty-two outlets.
Widely used to provide oxygen in aquariums, fish farms & hydroponic systems. One year warranty.

Commercial Air 3 (PSI = 3.9) (Watt = 35) (Tube Size = 3/8" ID) (Liter/Min = 65 LPM)

Here it is... ill try to get a video of it running... it should be able to run up to 20 sponge filters.

i can try to help you set it up, but i have never done it before. i recommend you do a PVP pipe set up =)

Thanks, im going to have to figure out a way to cut the noise down. but that might mean routing it from outside or the other room. but ill let you know...

mak a video of the pump, thanks

This is what i might get to regulate the pressure of the pump to each sponge. lower pressure for smaller sponges and higher pressure for bigger sponges..

ill make a video tomorrow morning and show it to you guys.

any pressure works fine. it only builds enough for a certain of tubes. you need to DIY a system with valves. the valves will adjust the flow rate of how you want it in each outlet.

ive been so busy havent had time to make a video but here is another video of the same pump working out side. outside would be best because of the noise, but i dont want anyone stealing it.

Here it is. i started in the other room so you guys can kinda hear its sound progression. You can tell in the video but you can clearly hear it in the room and it gets louder and louder.

nice. kinda loud for an apt though. maybe you could make a box to drown out some of the noise.

i know. thats my issue and thats why i havent used it yet. but if i had a house it would just be in the garage and powering everything LOL, maybe a foam cooler with an air hole...LOL gonna try that tomorrow.

let me come over this monday, and i will help you figure out what is going on. maybe it isnt a big issue. tbh...

Yea it's not too bad. It's just loud, plus I haven't bought my air manifold yet. Hopefully soon. But we'll see. Frank. U got any other wild bettas for sale that are already here in sd?
