Dophin Air Pump

The Dophin air pump is a compact, low-power, and quiet aquarium air pump engineered for consistent aeration in freshwater and marine tanks. It’s ideal for hobbyists who need reliable oxygenation for filters, air stones, and breeding setups while keeping noise and energy use to a minimum.

Key features

• Quiet operation — designed for low noise so it won’t disturb living spaces.

• Low power consumption — runs on low watts for economical continuous operation.

• Suitable for freshwater & saltwater — safe to use with both aquarium types.

• Single or multi-outlet models — choose single-outlet for small tanks or double-outlet versions for multiple air stones.

• Portable battery option available — battery-powered models are available for transport or power-failure backup.

Detailed description

The Dophin air pump provides steady, adjustable airflow to maintain healthy oxygen levels and improve circulation in your aquarium. Because it’s built for quiet performance and low electricity draw, the pump is excellent for bedrooms, offices, and display areas where noise matters. Models vary by outlet count and capacity so you can match a Dophin pump to a small desktop tank or a large system.

Installation is straightforward: place the pump above the waterline to prevent back-siphoning, connect standard aquarium tubing to an air stone or check valve, and plug into a standard AC outlet. Battery backup models are useful for transporting fish or during occasional power outages. Regular maintenance — keeping the air filter foam clean and replacing tubing when hardened — will keep airflow consistent over long use.

Technical specs

• Model examples: AP1500 / AP1501, AP1502 (single and multi-outlet variants).

• Voltage / Power: Typical AC models 220–240V, ~1.8–1.9W (low power).

• Output (flow): common outputs around ~600 cc/min (≈30–120 L/hr depending on model).

• Use case: recommended for aquariums in the ~30–60 L range for standard single-outlet models; multi-outlet models can serve larger setups or multiple air stones.

(Note: specs vary by exact model — confirm the model number on the product listing or label before publishing.)

Benefits — why choose Dophin

• Energy savings: Low-watt design lowers operating costs without sacrificing aeration.

• Reliable oxygenation: Stable airflow reduces dead zones and supports aerobic beneficial bacteria, improving water quality. (Industry best practice for aquarium aeration.)

• Quiet & compact: Low vibration mounting and compact housing keep the pump unobtrusive in home setups.

How to use

1. Mount the pump above water level or use a non-return valve.

2. Attach aquarium tubing to the pump outlet and to an air stone or filter accessory.

3. Power on and verify steady bubble output; adjust or add additional air stones for flow distribution.

4. Clean foam filter and inspect tubing every 6–12 months.
