Thanks very much Bodgie. That's a real shame about your pump but if you were happy with it for ten years it doesn't owe you nothing I reckon. Hailea appear to be the leaders in the field the now till someone cracks the silent barrier.
Excellent comparison and description Daniel, I don't know this All Pond Solutions, but I have several Hailea not membrane but piston in my fish room. The vibrations feel good at best, I put the compressors in an insulated box with polystyrene and insulating material, and the noise is not heard.
Really useful video. I was looking for reviews on the APS.... Watched your video and bought the Hailea instead. It arrived today and I'm very pleased! Thanks
Oh hey that's great. Glad you made the decision you feel is right and that I was able to help if I did then. I still use mine. It has treated me well for years now, I hope you find yours the same.
Hi Daniel... I love giving myself presents too.. haha.. and they are pretty much always for my fish.. or other pets. It's a nice looking unit. That is a bonus for sure. I have a couple multi spouted pumps. One runs all my show tanks. I keep mine under the tank with a return valve. It's a bummer when it isn't quite up to what they advertise. I'm glad it's not a must have. Thanks for sharing.. have a great day!!
No point doing it if I'm not going to be honest about it. The whole idea is to help others with my experiences so got to keep it true. Might not have been everyone's experience but can only say what I see and hope it helps someone. 👍
Argh.......we wanted this to work better too Daniel....pump man it's a crap shoot lots of times....we've been really lucky sometimes and not so much other times....thanks for the awesome review as usual sir and have a fantastic weekend!
Nice video Dan, I have been using aquaone twin outlets for a long time despite experiencing malfunctioning of one outlet after a few months. Need to change the brand.
Thanks very much bud. We'll never get silent for now but a couple of folk have come back to me saying they really like the Hailea brand. Don't know if you have those over there.
great review i have yet to find one that is an acceptable noise level, every time i think i have one i give it a week and they eventually sound like a go kart is stuck under water.
Thanks but. Don't think the technology is there at the moment to make a silent one but a few folk have come back to me saying they have had good experience with the Hailea. Don't know if you have that brand in Australia. Love the go kart analagy by the way. 😂
@@DanielKeepingFish Yeah Hailea is available in Australia although not in every fish store as it use to be but you can still get it online here, I've had my hailea ACO 9904 for at least 8 years now, the low setting doesnt work as well as it use too but still works fine on high so can't complain about the longevity. side note: my hailea (on high setting) is more nosier than yours it sounds more like the all ponds one (low setting) instead
I bought one recently I shortened my air pipes as usual also thinner as usual with the return valve and used a square piece of rubber from an old car innertube but I also have my aquarium stand doors insulated with sound proofing sheeting to hear less of my external filter noise and they're that quiet filter and pump I sometimes forget my aquarium is there. Just some ideas for you all a sheet of sound proofing doesn't cost much at all and worth thinking about using if you are trying to silence some of your aquarium stuff
G’day mate lol I would love one of these in the one outlet version as I have a tank in my TV stand. ( but I’ll HAVE TO TURN THE TV UP ) bro I’m gutted for ya you deserve a treat so it’s a pity that it’s louder it looks good but but I also like the look of the retro one Might make a good give away Lata lata lata
Good idea mate. Not sure how I feel about "who wants to win this thing I hate?" but I might give it to someone who's in a pinch. Maybe someone who needs their car jacked up for some work done under it or something. 😂 Thanks a lot though. Your message made me feel a bit better about it. 👍
They seem to be winning out on balance at the moment. Four the four pin models anyway. The technology isn't there for silent running ones. Whoever manages to make one of those will have hit the Holy Grail I reckon.
Hey Steve. If I have been any help to you making a decision I'd feel pretty good about that. I would urge you though to research further though and consider other views and reviews on these items. Although these are my opinions in sure there will be others that do not align with mine. Some people will love the APS others will prefer the Hailea. I try to demonstrate and evidence why I feel the way I do about aquarium accessories but my view is just one in a forest of impressions. I will be uploading a video in the next couple of days where I use a dB meter to test several air pumps. That may be of interest to you and I hope you settle on an air pump that you are happy with after considering all options.
Hi I stopped by to visit you're channel. I hit all the buttons and bell I hope you do too Tyfs ❤ I'm soooo Looking forward to seeing more videos!! Have a wonderful day much love to you 🥰
Thank you for your video it’s informative But you didn’t show what the output looked like when you dialled the air pressure up? You just filmed the pump it’s self after turning it up and then said it’s way more than you use and you still have a ways to go yet but then turned it back down without showing us :(
Yeah, only thing is I cut the airlines to size and used the airstones. Should have considered that but I wanted to use the stuff that came with it for the review. Oh well, I have a back up for emergencies now and something to prop doors open with. 😜
@Hiarahki Music well I mean if you need a big pump that size it's the quietest of the big pumps I've ever tried but you will hear it a wee bit even if it's in a cupboard. If you need several airlines in a living room you may be better running a couple of smaller pumps which would be quieter instead one big one. A lot of people say the Tetra Whisper is very quiet too but I've not got my hands on one so far.
@@DanielKeepingFish Ahh I see! I appreciate you taking the time to respond 🙏🏽 I wanted 4 airlines for good filteration ... I thought it would be cheaper to run on electric as you know bills have increased here 😔 🇬🇧
heyyy dan! awesome comparison! my haliea pump called it quits on my last week hahaha probably a solid 10 years+ of use though! loved the video!
Thanks very much Bodgie.

Quality, keep it real, i like it I wonder how honest some other channels are with there reviews sometimes

Nice video! I found this very helpful! Nice choice of comparison!😉👍
Thanks very much Lazarus.
Argh.......we wanted this to work better too Daniel....pump man it's a crap shoot lots of times....we've been really lucky sometimes and not so much other times....thanks for the awesome review as usual sir and have a fantastic weekend!
Daam man that sux it was too loud. Least it can be used for back up. Ya never know till ya try mate. Great review of it man
Thanks very much Nathan.
Yeah gotta try these things. Hopefully it helps other people considering buying one to make their decision too.
Somehow I want getting notifications. Darn youtube. Very cool pump. Same premise as the topfin 8000 I use and I love those
I don't think we get Top Fin over here but if I find one I'll snap it up and give it a try on your recommendation. 👍
Nice video Dan, I have been using aquaone twin outlets for a long time despite experiencing malfunctioning of one outlet after a few months. Need to change the brand.
Thanks very much bud.
We'll never get silent for now but a couple of folk have come back to me saying they really like the Hailea brand. Don't know if you have those over there.
@@DanielKeepingFish I haven't seen any in the stores. Mostly aqua one products for sale. Will definitely hunt for it online.
Maybe they don't ship them over there. Sure hope you manage to find somewhere that does though bud.
great review i have yet to find one that is an acceptable noise level, every time i think i have one i give it a week and they eventually sound like a go kart is stuck under water.
Lol

The grey guy for the win 😆. I have 3 of those and love em.
Yeah I've loved it for ages Angelo but didn't realise quite how much till I compared it.
Thanks bud. Take care.
Nice comparison Dan 👏👏
Thanks very much bud.
Wee bit accidental but gotta roll with it sometimes eh?
@@DanielKeepingFish yeah shame that new one was so loud. Slick looking unit
I bought one recently I shortened my air pipes as usual also thinner as usual with the return valve and used a square piece of rubber from an old car innertube but I also have my aquarium stand doors insulated with sound proofing sheeting to hear less of my external filter noise and they're that quiet filter and pump I sometimes forget my aquarium is there.

Good advice. Where would you get sound proof material

Lol put it under and change 4 tires at once lol
I bought a sera 4 pin air pump it’s not overly loud but also not as quiet as I’d like might look into one of those hailea pumps
They seem to be winning out on balance at the moment. Four the four pin models anyway.
The technology isn't there for silent running ones. Whoever manages to make one of those will have hit the Holy Grail I reckon.
Daniel Keeping Fish aye this sera one is quiet but definitely not unbearable and it’s in my bedroom haha
Great air pump
Thanks. Yeah the Hailea is ace.
WAS JUST ABOUT TO BUY ONE OF THESE ALLPONDS 4 outlets..to run 4 nano tanks.i think 🤔 I’ll have a look at the Hailer ones first 👌🏻

Good afternoon my new friend , here support u
What about the Ehiem double outlet air pump if you can still get them?
I'm pretty sure I saw the Eheim Air 400 on Amazon the other day so assume they're still producing them.
@@DanielKeepingFish I used to have one.
Hi can you tell me what is the case material of hailea? Isit aluminium? Or plastic
It's plastic on this model bud.
Hi I stopped by to visit you're channel. I hit all the buttons and bell I hope you do too Tyfs ❤ I'm soooo Looking forward to seeing more videos!! Have a wonderful day much love to you 🥰
Definitely the white is one is Sunusun CT Series air pump
Thank you for your video it’s informative But you didn’t show what the output looked like when you dialled the air pressure up? You just filmed the pump it’s self after turning it up and then said it’s way more than you use and you still have a ways to go yet but then turned it back down without showing us :(
It's a good point. I will definitely keep that in mind for future videos. Thank you.
Not having return policy?
Yeah they do but I cut the airlines and used the airstones. I'll need to keep it for an emergency backup for now.
Shame :( at least it's easy to return stuff to amazon if it's not fit for purpose.
Yeah, only thing is I cut the airlines to size and used the airstones. Should have considered that but I wanted to use the stuff that came with it for the review.
Oh well, I have a back up for emergencies now and something to prop doors open with. 😜
I couldn't even hear the grey one.
I know mate. Didn't realise how good it was till I compared it with another.
Thanks man.
@@DanielKeepingFish You're welcome!
what ashame about the noise ... wouldnt bother me to much as all my tanks are on my landing so noise isnt a concern
so hilea better choice?
For me, when it comes to the four pin models yes, the Hailea wins out.
I purchased the APS one and it's loud asf ....kinda annoyed tbh ...waste of money
Yeah it's horrible.
@@DanielKeepingFish Would the Hailea be too loud for a living room?
@Hiarahki Music well I mean if you need a big pump that size it's the quietest of the big pumps I've ever tried but you will hear it a wee bit even if it's in a cupboard. If you need several airlines in a living room you may be better running a couple of smaller pumps which would be quieter instead one big one.

I wanted 4 airlines for good filteration ... I thought it would be cheaper to run on electric as you know bills have increased here 😔 🇬🇧
I guess one way of giving me an answer is what would you say on the scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the loudest) ? Sorry for questions
