Really quiet: a great product
This was such a good buy. I was hearing a constant hum through the shared wall from my next-door neighbour's fish tank air pump. I bought this APS 150 for the neighbour and presented it as a gift when I told him about The Hum. As soon as he replaced the pump, I couldn't hear a peep from the fish tank any more through the wall, and the distracting hum was gone. A great outcome.

Not silent but quiet enough
Not silent but I don’t think there’s such thing as a silent air pump, mine is in the cupboard under the tank and it’s not much louder the the filter, seems pretty good so far with one air stone.

Nice little pump
Some posters have mentioned the noise. Lets be honest, it is an air pump, it is going to make some noise! For me it is no louder than the filter pump on my juwel trigon 190, so I do not have a problem with noise. Yes, you will get some vibration depending where you site it, so I have sat mine on a small piece of carpet in the unit under the tank and this works well. Only driving a single air stone at the moment, for decorative purposes, and I am pleased with it. It has a flow valve so you can regulate the amount of air it pumps out. I have added a non return valve as recommended by others.

Quality Air pump
I had an idea of what to expect as I've owned an APS50 for several years and use it on a smaller tank, however the power of the APS150 was even greater than I had anticipated - its running two filters in a 100 litre tank with ease.Its a stylish modern design and runs virtually silent! I am using it to replace an old RENA 301 - which made a bit of a racket - and this is a really pleasant change.Hearty recommendations - at under 20 quid its a real bargain - delivery was speedy.

In no way "silent"
When I purchased this the description said "silent". This is why I bought it. They have changed the description now. It is in no way "silent". I would go as far to say it is one of the more noisier air pumps I have owned. It is powerful, but that is not the point, the product was misrepresented.

Tetra Tech APS150 Air Pump- Quiet Quiet Quiet!!
I bought this as a replacement for an Ehiem equivalent which kept blowing the pipe off no matter how hard I jammed it back. Its powering a single air stone in 100 litre tank, purely for decorative purposes!Its been running for 24hrs and in my experience (kept fish for over 20 years!) its best to let air pumps run for this kind of time before making a decision on if its noisy or not. It gives the diaphragm a chance to warm and soften a bit. They all are noisy when they are first switched on.It’s pumping the air through admirably and is very very quiet so I am very pleased. Its interesting four legged design does seem to stand up to the blurb on the box and I am very happy with it. As for reliability, who knows but if it packs in I'll update!
