Rated Frequency 60Hz. Operating Pressure Range 0.71 - 2.13 psig. Rated Pressure 0.11kgf/cm2(1.56 psig). Rated Airflow* 45 LPM (1.59 cfm) or over. Power Consumption 45 W @ 60 Hz. Running Current 1.0 amps. Operating Noise 38 dB Max. Weight 3.0 kg. Highly reliable, unique, die cast piston construction. UL-approved for outdoor use. Integrated grounded line cord. Service life expectancy of 6 years with proper installation and periodic maintenance. Environmentally conscious design allows the pump to operate with lower energy consumption as it requres only 50-60% of the line currrent typically used by diaphragm pumps. UL-listed for outdoor use Low Noise Level The pumps operate at a very low noise level, about that of a light ballast, as there are no crankshafts, connecting rods or ball bearings to create additional noise. Low power consumption With the piston as the only moving part, frictional losses are diminished which allows for lower starting and running current. Line current requirements are only 50-60% of that typically used by diaphragm pumps. Automatic Pressure Adjustment Designed to self-adjust should the pressure exceed the rated value of the pump, the piston stroke will automatically shorten to reduce the strain on the pump. At the same time, power consumption of the pump will decrease to protect against possible increasing Self-cooling design Air drawn in through the intake valve over the coils reduces the temperature seen in the interior of the pump. MEDO pumps feature a unique, patent-awarded linear-motor-driven free piston system that is globally proven in the wastewater treatment and aquaculture industries.

I have three of these connected to the same air distribution system, they are awesome for maintaining air to all my tanks!!

I was hesitant to pull the trigger on this pump but really glad I did, so quiet and works perfectly for my fish room, check out some YouTube videos for pointers on setup

I am stunned by how quiet this is. Using it to run AirStones in a dep water culture hydroponic system. It provides excellent pressure. The air Stones bubbling is literally louder than the pump.

This is my 2nd pump, first one lasted seven or eight years. There not cheap but the best never are. I highly recommend. The only hitch I tried to replace the piston on first pump that was a waste of money. I wish it would be possible to have the old pump rebuilt no luck on that.

This is the second unit I have purchased. My first air pump (under a different brand name) lasted for ten years even though I did not realize that the air filter should be changed yearly. Had to purchase this pump as my wife accidentally dropped the old unit into the pond. It worked for a very days after drying out but then quit. I use the pump to keep my koi pond from freezing over in the winter. Even during the coldest spells in the Northeast the unit keeps a hole open in the ice. Has been working at a depth of 4 feet. I highly recommend this pump if you need to keep a hole in pond ice. Works much more efficiently (and cheaper to run) than using a floating heating element deicer.

Great pump with plenty of air for my Aquaponics system. Very quiet for an air pump this size. Much quieter than the previous pumps I have purchased. Runs moving bio bed, 2 air stones in dwc grow bed and 1 in Talipia tank.

Like most people, I bought a lower priced (Hakko) air pump, assuming it was just as good. Over its 5-year life, the diaphragms needed replacing 3 times at a total expense of roughly $150. Part of the problem was because the unit operated really hot*, and it was really loud. Not just a little loud, but loud enough to hear >100 feet away over the sound of the pond.The last time the diaphragms failed, I was ready for something different and decided to try the Medo brand, mostly because it used pistons instead of rubber diaphragms. When it was first turned on I thought something was wrong because I could barely hear it. Nope, it's been running perfectly - and nearly silently - ever since. I think they're well worth their initially higher price, which once replacement diaphragms are factored in, are a great deal.*Before anyone says that it ran hot because of my installation, note that when the Medo was swapped in to the exact same system, it ran 10 times cooler and you couldn't even hear it running.
