A-2 Air Bubbles Pump with Tubing & Air Stones for Live Bait (110 Volts), Black

Because it has "two" outlets, I am able to keep two buckets of minnows fresh! Highly recommended.

I just received this product a couple of days ago, so I cannot comment yet on longevity. I can tell you how things are going so far. This is specific to others who are using it for fungi, particularly the Paul Stamets method.Pros:The dual hose allows you to aerate two buckets simultaneouslyThe output really keeps the liquid rolling! It does the job well.There is a weight on each airstone, sufficient to keep it submerged.You have everything that you need to plug it in, hook up the airstones, and start doing your thing! No need to shop around and piece together each of these parts separately.Cons:The hose that is included is rather short once you split it into two, to use both stones at the same time. You'll need to position the pump itself right next to the 5 gallon buckets. If you want to use larger barrels right away rather than diluting later on, then you'll need more hose.The pump is loud enough that I wouldn't want it to reverberate throughout my home. It is fine to keep in the breezeway, porch, or outside.Your outlet needs to be in an accessible location, because this doesn't have an on/off switch. You'll plug it in, and unplug it, in order to run it.Altogether, this product is great for my purposes, and fits the budget well. I'm glad that I purchased it, and will update if I run into any problems. I hope that this review is helpful to you in making your decisions. Please let me know, and happy shopping!

Works great and quiet.

I now have enough hours on this pump to recommend it's durability. If it keeps my bait healthy the rest of the summer it deserves 5 stars.I'm not rating it for noise because it wasn't in my living space.

Works great, metal case

Bubbler did a good job of keeping my minnows alive. Very satisfied with the product.

This aerator provides LOTS of bubbles! I got it to make vermicompost tea and it works very well for that purpose. I bought larger stones at the same time, so I never tried the stones that come with this pump, but they look sufficient to work well (for those concerned about the lead weights on the provided stones, they can be easily taken off). The pump does hum, as all aerators do, but since I'm using it in the garage I can't say if it would be annoying in the house or not.I've read reviews that claim this pump produces too many bubbles for their aquarium, but I can say for sure that it is the BEST for making vermicompost or manure tea, as there is NO lack of bubbles at all! With dual outlets I can make two 5 gallon buckets at once with each getting more than enough bubbles. The provided tube is seven feet long and needs to be cut in half to use both outlets. I place the pump on top of the chest freezer in our garage and have the two 5 gallon buckets on a milk crate (a steel milk crate from my dad's business many years ago - I did NOT steal it) on the floor next to the freezer, which allows the stones to lay on the bottom of the buckets. Buying a longer length of tube would allow for the buckets to sit on the floor, so I should buy more tubing, and perhaps most buyers would benefit from more tubing to be able to best use both outlets.

I usually do in the past. Pretty good product, but it's way overpriced for what you get.
