The new shape of silence. The Whisper Air patented dome shape and sound dampening chambers minimize turbulence and produce a smooth quiet stream of air. Wide footprint, rubber feet and suspended pump motor eliminate sound producing vibrations. Thick walls insulate motor noise. Powerful diaphragms provide ample airflow for deep water applications.

This thing was quiet when I first got it.
3 months later it sounds like a pet store.
I should’ve laid down 60 bucks for the Rena.
Worthless pump, diaphragms go bad in less than a month, repair kits are expensive, about half the cost of a new pump but with S&H will cost anywhere $15 to $20. The simply and only rubber diaphragms (no need for screws, metal supports or magnets) should be $1-$2 max. Dont waste time buying this junk!!!
First, I’m very surprised to see people complaining about this pump being a waste of money. It’s an incredibly cheap pump. If they wanted to get the best pump out there, perhaps they should have been willing to shell out more money for one of the other brands mentioned, like the Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Rena Air 300 Aquarium Air Pump. Obviously, they went cheap with this pump, and they’re unhappy with it. I personally use this pump for Hydrofarm Emily’s Garden System, and I am very, very happy with it. The reservoir holds anywhere from 2-6 gallons, and currently all six pots are growing very well. They’re vibrant, the growth is explosive, and the only way to circulate nutrients to all of them is with the airstones in the Emily’s kit.
If you’re considering the Emily’s kit, be _sure_ to get a quieter pump. The one that it came with is so noisy we could hardly hear the television over the noise of the pump. This pump solved that problem.
And for you aquarium people, the Whisper line includes _many_ other pumps like the Whisper Aquarium Air Pump 300 – Up to 150 gallon. If you want a big pump for your aquarium, shell out just a little more and get one that’s appropriate rather than defaming this pump. This pump is *awesome*. Because it’s so quiet I’m thinking of adding another Emily’s six-pot or even a sixteen-pot setup, and just buying another Whisper 100.
I don’t get all the negative reviews, This pump has worked flawlessly for me for last 18 months.Maybe i just got lucky?
Or everybody is unlucky
I agree with most of the negative reviews on this air pump. I bought this and it pumped a lot of air the first few weeks. Afterward, the air flow gradually diminished. The replacement rubber parts and repair kits cost almost as much as a brand new pump! I recommend finding a pump with a longer warranty and stuff. If any of you aquarium fans know of a solid air pump with a long life (regardless of cost), leave some feedback here. I am interested – thanks.
