hyggerRechargeable Aquarium Pond Air Pump, Powerful Quiet Commercial Tank Air Pump with Hose Air Stone Check Valve Adjustable Flow Diverter Valve for Fishing Yacht/Power Outages/Hydroponic

This was the first purchase I’ve made with Hygger but after receiving numerous suggestions to try their product I found a great sale on Amazon.I’m in love with this brand now I’ve never seen a pump of this size so powerful yet quiet, I originally purchased as a back up air pump due to power outages here in Texas. But I ended up using it as my full time air pump and plan on buying another as a backup because the quality is that good! It comes with connector hose, metal splitter, air stones, and back up valve. It works on our 55 gallon by connecting to two sponge filters with extension hoses. I have it on minimum setting and it more than does the job of filtering the tank thru filters.Aquarium isn’t overstocked we have 5 angelfish, 4 yellow barb, 6 mollies, 2 tiger barbs, and two plecos.Hygger is my only co that I will use now for air pumps.On rechargeability it ran for over 10 hours on minimum power level which is normal operating level so no disturbance to fish at all until our power was restored.

This air pump is a must have to protect fish in your aquarium. I have used regular air pumps over the years connected to UPS battery backups but they do not provide the run time and peace of mind that this air pump does.I was skeptical about the run time on battery that was provided soo I decided to run my own test.I have a 120G aquarium and I bought the larger model of the pump figuring that on the lowest setting would provide the longest run time on the lowest setting. Using 2 of the supplied airs stones and hoses it provided more that enough air for my 120G aquarium. Even on the lowest setting there was enough air to run 2 more air stones. Ultimately this pump ran 78hrs before it finally ran out of power! This is good for extended power outages like I needed. I recommend buying a second one to keep it you are in an area with prolonged power outages.I would like to know more information about the battery like voltage and amp hours. I also want to know what type of battery it is like is it (NiMH or LION).One major thing that would make this the ultimate backup is to add a function to have it turn on in case the power goes out instead of just running all the time. My only question in running all the time is how durable the pump is for running over a period of years.The LED readout is accurate and gives you a good gauge of how much battery time is left.Some things I would change:1. Make spare batteries available and user replaceable. In case people have longer outages, they should be able to replace it with a freshly charged set to keep the air running.2. Make user replaceable parts available for the air pump. I have never had an aquarium air pump that does not need parts replaced after a couple of years.3. The supplied air hoses are precut to all the same length. It would be better to supply a long length of hose and let the user cut the length they need.Overall this is the best option I have found to have a reliable air pump during power outages.

The media could not be loaded. The pump system is working great so far. It is nice to have a battery back up incase of power failures which in California are getting more and more often.HOWEVER after only about 5 months of running, the air stones are falling off. It appears they have a smudge of glue holding them on and I guess it is not water proof. Seems like something going in a pond would be water proof.

This thing is a beast! I have peace of mind now in case of power outages & it worked great during the hurricane season. I have 3 of these now & have one on my 60, 75, & 135 gallon aquariums & don't fear losing power anymore. I highly recommend this, especially if you're prone to outages.

This thing MOVES serious air! Currently pushing 2 small air stones, 2 large and 4 small sponge filters with the pump at half power! I’m sure it will be able to run air for my 150g when it’s up and running.I’m a huge fan of Hygger products and this one is yet another great addition. Came highly recommended and let me say so far, I’m impressed. Hit both my marks. TON of power and almost dead silent. The battery back up is the frosting on this cake.Great value, solid build and function. Can run all my tanks! 👍🏻

Currently runs 7 of my aquariums with tons of air and I haven't even turned it up all the way. No power outages yet to test the battery life but so far all is well.

Awesome back up if you loose power

The charging cord broke already
