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

It was EXTREMELY noisy the first day (like industrial equipment for a pond, in my grow tent in the bedroom 🤬)....then it quited down.Give it 8 hours to break itself in. I was worried I was going to have to return it but I LOVE IT. 🫧great price point, it's made from metal and from a reputable brand®️....plenty of reviews

I'm going to excellent air pump it but it is a big air pump so the noise is assessive however I would highly recommend this air pump because it works really good for what it's supposed to do so everybody that says it's super loud it is loud but that is what an air pump that size sounds like thank you

These have been the lifeline of my 30-40 tank fish room. They don’t seem super loud to me and they are able to pump a lot of air to a lot of tanks. Perfect for small fish rooms. I’ve had one quit on me in a year or so, so the build quality might not be up to the same standards as more expensive models but for the price they seem to do the job great.

Works extremely well with all of my tanks for my small business fish store, no issues and unpacking was extremely easy! I will be buying more.

Powerful little air pump, I had one just like this that lasted years of abuse. I use it for my pond air diffuser.

Alright, buckle up, aquarium warriors, because I’m about to unleash a rant-fueled review of the VIVOSUN Commercial Air Pump 1427 GPH 55W 90L/min 12 Outlet—a cheap piece of garbage that strutted into my life with big promises and left faster than a cat when the vacuum starts. This Amazon buy had me fooled for about five minutes before it revealed its true colors: loud, hot, and about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. Here’s the scoop, served with a side of snark.First off, let’s talk about the hype. This thing claims 1427 GPH, 55 watts of power, and 12 outlets to oxygenate your tank like a pro. And sure, it blew—like a hyperactive cheerleader on a sugar high, pumping air with the gusto of a tornado in a teacup. My shrimp were probably doing backflips at first, thinking they’d scored a spa day. But the honeymoon ended quick. This pump runs hotter than a jalapeño in a microwave—touch it, and you’ll be nursing a burn while wondering if it’s secretly a space heater. The aluminum alloy “heat-radiating plates” they brag about? More like heat-trapping torture devices. My tank water felt like it was prepping for a shrimp boil, not a serene swim.Then there’s the noise. Oh, sweet mercy, the noise. VIVOSUN claims “under 60 decibels”—maybe if you’re measuring it from the moon. This thing roared like a lawnmower with a grudge, echoing through every room of my house like a poltergeist with a megaphone. I could hear it over my TV, my music, even my own thoughts—forget peaceful shrimp vibes, this was a full-on assault on my sanity. My baby shrimp probably grew up with tinnitus before I yanked the plug. It’s marketed as a “quiet solution” for aquariums and hydroponics, but unless your definition of quiet includes a jackhammer symphony, they’re straight-up fibbing.The 12 outlets? Sure, they’re there, and the adjustable valves gave me a fleeting sense of control—until I realized it was like putting lipstick on a pig. No amount of tweaking could save this beast from its core flaws. It’s got the power to push air to my shrimp’s hideouts, I’ll give it that, but at what cost? My eardrums, my patience, and my faith in budget buys. I returned it faster than you can say “refund,” because life’s too short for this kind of nonsense. A linear piston pump might cost an arm and a leg more, but it’s worth every penny for the whisper-quiet, cool-running bliss it delivers—this VIVOSUN disaster taught me that the hard way.In short, the VIVOSUN Commercial Air Pump 1427 GPH 55W 90L/min 12 Outlet is a cheap, overhyped letdown. It’s got the airflow of a champ but the manners of a frat party—hot, loud, and gone before you can say “buyer’s remorse.” Save your shrimp, your floors, and your sanity—skip this garbage and splurge on something that doesn’t sound like it’s auditioning for a horror flick. One star, a shrimp-sized eye roll, and a heartfelt “good riddance!”

Loud but works very well.

Years later and it still works like a charm.
