wow i just landed on this video. whats crazy is i just bought me the rechargeable engel aerator this morning on amazon and didnt even watch about it yet. luckily i bought it. nice comparison vid bro
Great review. I normally research before making a purchase but on a whim I bought a Clam lithium about 1 hour before watching your video. It's going to be returned and I ordered the Engel lithium.

While I do like the lithium battery powered pumps are great, the best part about the D cell is the convenience of being able to replace the batteries when they run out. I built a LiFePo aerator box that has a 10AH 18 volt battery and it lasts for a long time. Great in-depth review!
Awesome reviews man. Engel for the win, I just got mine to replace the one that came with my 7.5 q bait cooler, I’m also not a fan of buying batteries.
Never had a rechargeable aerator - always used rechargeable batteries. But the single charge numbers you show are impressive. I wonder if Engel gonna run (or does it stop if plugged in?) if I bring a power bank and hook it up directly via USB C? Awesome review btw. Will probably get Engel when the old one dies.
I feel like another test u should do is a time test in the fridge or a freezer on low to represent using it icefishing or in cold weather because i feel like the D batteries might not last as long as the lithium
The clam comes with 4 rubber feet that go into the screw holes on the bottom to keep it up off the clip. It looks like you have one in one of the air ports.
I worked fantastic till it got splashed on Not water proof or resistant. Totally bummed At 50$ I won’t be replacing this. I hope in the future they make a waterproof model.
If that happened after only being splashed on, I would highly recommend reaching out to Engel / Clam depending on which one you got, both should be able to handle that. I'm sure either company will try and help you out
Yes, I have. It works great. I haven't put a timer on it, but not much different from room temp performance anecdotally. And still love how dang quiet it is
So can you run the Engel lithium pack WHILE you charge it? Reason I ask is if I'm camping for 3 days I can't afford any down time with the unit not running. It'd be even better if I could rig it to work off my DeWalt 20v batteries. Thanks.
Do you use the 3" diffuser with the lithium aerator? I tried that and it seemed like it was over taxing the aerator. Like it was having a hard time pushing air into it.
Hey Alex, my first day out my air pump seized. I seem to be replacing my pump yearly. Was looking at the Engel primary because it’s rechargeable. Is this still your go to and have you had any issues with it in the past year?

Awesome review! I was just about to pull the trigger on a clam based on another review that said the Engel wouldn't run while charging..... THANKS!!
Yes! And yes it absolutely will run while charging! 👍👍

That is definitely a plus of having swappable batteries
@@AlexTimm yes indeed!

Good choice!
Great comparison tests..helped a lot..I have the old Engle pump and the clam lithium
Thanks Ed! What did you think about the new lithium one from Engel?
@@AlexTimm I'm gonna have to get one lol
Finally a great rechargeable aerator. The Engle Lithium sound really quite

Yeah, if you plug the Engel in to constant power or a power bank it will just keep on going!
The deeper the air stone, the more power it takes. Try it in a 5 gallon bucket filled to the top with air stone on the bottom.
Thanks Alex - good review. I appreciate the info
Absolutely! Thank you for watching and commenting!
I feel like another test u should do is a time test in the fridge or a freezer on low to represent using it icefishing or in cold weather because i feel like the D batteries might not last as long as the lithium
Yeah, thinking about doing a time test on high with them this winter
Great run through. Thanx eh. Been loving the new gear vids. Sub’d. ✌️
Awesome, thank you! Lots more to come!
Awesome review Alex!
Thanks!
Very good review, well done
Thank you!
The clam comes with 4 rubber feet that go into the screw holes on the bottom to keep it up off the clip. It looks like you have one in one of the air ports.
Now I've got to do some research lol 😆 if that's true I've been doing it all wrong!
I just got one for Christmas! Took me a minute to figure it out myself 😂
Great information ty
Great video
Thanks!
The clam comes rubber buttons to keep it from vibrating.
I didn't get any on either of the 3 I purchased unless I missed them in the box?
I worked fantastic till it got splashed on

Have you ran the engel in the heat? Im asking because i am in arizona. Haha
Yes, I have. It works great. I haven't put a timer on it, but not much different from room temp performance anecdotally. And still love how dang quiet it is
What is the warranty ? Somebody said 30 days ??
So can you run the Engel lithium pack WHILE you charge it?

It'd be even better if I could rig it to work off my DeWalt 20v batteries.
Thanks.
Yes you can! And I think DeWalt makes a USB adapter for their 20v batteries, so you probably can!

Yes, the Engel is my go to for winter and summer, no issues yet (other than the small rubber feet coming off, but that's minor as I'm hard on it)
@@AlexTimm awesome thank you!
Good👍
