Hailea ACO-308 Air Pump

Post by davehoney »

Hi,

Has anyone got one of these air pumps, or similar?

I'm trying to work out if they are particularly noisy to run compared to the Hailea diaphragm models.

Also, if anyone has got one of these types, are they any good?!

Thanks

Dave

yeah i have one. and yes they are very noisy! but their cheap. they noise the produce does decrease once youve added airlines, and non return valves etc, i think the added pressure shuts them up a bit. but as my pump is in a concrete cupboard with wooded doors, i cant really hear it. if however it were to be exposed, i would not get one of these......sounds like a small person with a large jack hammer in the garden!! good pumps though, especially for the money.
