The quietest pump on the market!

I was long looking for a truly quiet diaphragm pump. the word "quiet" should not be placed on the packaging, but the pump should be really quiet. But one thing must be clear, there are no silent pump on the market! All pumps can be heard more or less. This "more or less" is mostly an objective of only a few dB, but make it out! Also the frequency of the noise plays an important role. A muffled sound you feel most comfortable than lighter tones.

Therefore, I have over the years almost all pumps that are available on the market tried. The quietest pump in my personal test so far definitely the Eheim Air Pump! 2nd place ended the Aqua Medic 300, but the price is in a whole different league. At No. 3 the cheap China pumps landed by Hailea. This costs from 10, - Euro, also operate very quietly and are qualitatively quite well, but they have a somewhat lighter tone, which is not to everyone's liking. I found in the living area it is annoying with time slightly.

The Eheim pump is swinging freely suspended in fact suitable for the bedroom, if you are not too sensitive, so quiet and pleasant it works. Tip: Select the output of the pump generally larger than required and then throttle the air flow in accordance with a control valve. As a result, the pump then operates at some back pressure and is much quieter. For the durability of the membranes, this measure is also good.

I hope my experience will help one or the other buyers looking for the truly quiet pump!
