Thanks for the info the low power usage is obviously a great selling point along with the very low price. I use a 100 ltr/ min pump in my fish room which has an energy consumption of 65w. There are however, a couple of downsides to this pump. 1) the air outlets are very small and would need adapting to connect to an air ring system as the narrow bore of the outlets will put more back pressure on the pump. 2) the controls situated on the top of the pump would make it more difficult to adjust air flows when the pump is situated above aquarium racking systems. It is always preferable to run air flows at maximum levels and bleed any excess air via a valve in an air ring. Nevertheless an impressive pump at a very reasonable price 🤓👍
These are great points, thank you! Controls are indeed hard to access if the pump is above the tank. That's one disadvantage of digital design, if they were regular manual controls, things would have been easier. This pump isn't probably the best option for fish rooms as you can only make 6 extensions at most, but a 10W model might be a better fit.
@@tropicalfishhub The pump I use has only one outlet but it has a much larger diameter on its outlet. This is then fed into a 0.75 inch diameter plastic pipe ring system via a T-piece. Thus the pump feeds air into the ring from both sides - this evens out pressure. The plastic pipe I use is 0.75 water overflow pipe and I then drill and insert connections that enable the use of standard airline tubing to feed the tanks in the room. The main problem with the hygger pump is the small diameter outlets not the number of them. IMO the pump would be more efficient with a wider diameter outlet. There is a pump on the market (I can’t remember the brand!) that has a large diameter, but threaded, outlet which allows different size adapters to be screwed into it. Sorry this reply is so long-winded!
Thank you sir for the review! I absolutely love their Heaters🔥

Nice review ,thanks so much for taking the time to do this 👍,been looking at a few air pumps lately ,first one i've seen with touch control 🤔
Thank you! It seems like a nice pump still produces no noise and doesn't heat up
So, does it run after power outage?
