I've tried a few different pumps out there and so far this brand has been the best value based on two main things: #1) Air flow per dollars spent - This pump puts out GREAT air flow through two separate outlets that don't depend on each other. That's a huge benefit that eliminates having to have a "T" fitting AND two adjustment valves, which can not only slow your air flow but it's a pain in the ass to adjust. #2) Noise - This pump puts out a little noise, but surprisingly less than I would have expected for a high volume pump. I'd say about 30% more noise than a Tetra Whisper pump but 300% more air flow given the equivalently rated Whisper. It also has very little vibration. Extra bonuses include the 2 outlets as mentioned, and adjustable air flow which is really cool. I own a bunch of pumps, including several Whispers like the Whisper 20, Whisper 40, and the larger Tetra 26075 Whisper Air Pump, 150 which even that produces only 2.6 liters/min air flow while this sucker puts out 7.8 liters/min, although the Whisper is definitely the quietest pump on the market. BOTTOM LINE: There are other pumps that put out more air flow but they are much more expensive and very loud. There are also more quiet pumps on the market but you would need 2 or 3 of those to put out the same air volume as this one. For the techies out there, specifications on the box says: Power = 3W ; Pressure = >3.768 PSI ; Air Output = 7.8L/Min ; Noise = <40 dB ; Weight = 1.5 Lbs ; Size = 162mm X 100mm X 87mm (6.4" X 4" X 3.4"). Comes with a 4 foot cord. Review: SUPER SILENT? what a joke - It is so damn loud we can't use it even during the day! Also has a weird plug which wasn't mentioned, had to figure what the plug was then wait another several days for an extension plug to be delivered! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002TCC46U | | Air Flow Capacity | 8 Liters Per Minute | | Brand | Active Aqua | | Brand Name | Active Aqua | | Colour | Aqua | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,310 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00638104000512 | | Item Weight | 0.8 Pounds | | Manufacturer Part Number | AAPA7.8L | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | AAPA7.8L | | Operation Mode | Automatic | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | UPC | 638104000512 | | Voltage | 120 Volts | | Wattage | 3 Watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Active Aqua - **Colour:** Aqua - **Item Weight:** 363 g - **Material:** Plastic - **Power Source:** Corded Electric ## Images ![Active Aqua Air Pump, 2 Outlets, 3W, 7.8 L/min - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71HCjjEGlWL.jpg) ![Active Aqua Air Pump, 2 Outlets, 3W, 7.8 L/min - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ouyVO11ZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Value - HIGH air flow, more quiet than expected *by B***H on 3 October 2013* I'm an aquaponics guy and raise my own tilapia.

Also has a weird plug which wasn't mentioned, had to figure what the plug was then wait another several days for an extension plug to be delivered! ### ⭐⭐ It's loud! *by M***S on 27 April 2019* Although this pumps air wonderfully, it's loud. Very loud. Direct from unpacking, it's running at 62dB. This is louder than normal conversation and is almost as loud as street noise. With doors closed, I can still hear it pumping away in other rooms. Should it be this loud? Unfortunately, it's expensive, it's not broken and I have to keep on using it until it dies. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hydrofarm AAPA7.8L Active Aqua, 2 Outlets, 3W, 7.8 L/min Air Pump, Silver - Penn-Plax Standard Airline Tubing for Aquariums – Clear and Flexible – Resists Kinking – Safe for Freshwater and Saltwater Fish Tanks – 25 Feet - VIVOSUN Air Stone 2PCS 4 x 2 Inch Large Air Stone for Aquarium, Fish Tank and Hydroponics Air Pump --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ro/products/298598982-active-aqua-air-pump-2-outlets-3w-7-8-l](https://www.desertcart.ro/products/298598982-active-aqua-air-pump-2-outlets-3w-7-8-l) --- *Product available on Desertcart Romania* *Store origin: RO* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
