AirPod® Air Pump w/Battery Back-Up for up to 55 Gallon Tanks

I have a 40 gallon tank and when the electricity went out at my house one day, the pump continued to work on the batteries but it was still to weak that my fishes went up to the top to get air. The motor inside is too weak to generate any strong air flow for the tank. It might work better for a smaller tank (up to 20 gallons but nothing more.) Look elsewhere for a better back up air pump.

No review of the product, as I received the wrong one. Be aware that you too may receive the incorrect one too. I got an air pump that doesn't have battery back-up, which defeated the whole point of my purchase. The troublesome thing is that there is a sticker barcode over the original barcode that has the product number for the battery back-up air pump and says, "Air pump w/ battery back up" I'm hesitant to order this again for fear of getting the wrong one again. Also, this item cannot be processed through the returns center and you must either call or chat with customer service to get a return started. One star for the experience.

Its a strong pump, so i had to use low power. When battery mode actives strengh lowers, but thats normal for batter operation. Its also small and not load (so far). 4 D cell batteries seems like a lot, but i considered it also last a very long time. Energy dont go that often where i am at, but i dont want to risk loosing my fish that where not easy to find. Internally its well build and not heavy (without batteries). Would be nice if it had wholes to mount on my wall, but it does not have them. Over all good priced unit for my 30gl tank.

Update June 20, 2012: Been 1 year and 2 months. Pump is on 24/7 and works great, pumps air same as when i got it. Only thins is that its not as quiet as before. Sometime batteries do not sit in place and enery goes and contacts for batteries are not good. Solution is to add something else on top of the batteries so lid is tight keeps batteries in place. I am using for 18 inch depth on 30 gallon and have pump on lowest setting since it puts out alot of air (still). Im considering getting another one. This is considered one of my best purchases, now i can go away for the weekend with little worries.

1 star because pump petered out after one month. Now sitting in the garage in a bucket collecting dust. Would make a nice paper weight but would probably tear paper! Useless item that I wasted a nice chunk of change on when i could have gotten something less and would have lasted. Junk!

This is a great product. Kept my fish alive from sandy and 2 other power outages.

The only complain on my part is that it should have a built in audio alarm. One of my big koi died because the plug of the ac is off seated from the surge protector. It kept my fish alive more than 24 hours though with my D size batteries. I just didn't know about it until too late. Even though it failed me once, I am still using it since somehow, it keeps me sane and free from dead fishes.
