## Overview

The SOBO SB-988 Aquarium Air Pump combines a powerful 960 L/h airflow with an advanced noise-damping system, delivering whisper-quiet operation ideal for any professional or hobbyist aquarium setup. Featuring four nozzles for versatile air distribution and built from durable ABS, it ensures long-lasting, energy-efficient performance while safeguarding aquatic life with smart design elements.

## Description

Instructions for use: connect the air pump to air stone or filter via air pipe. Plug into 220-240 volt power point. To prolong pump life, replace air stones regularly. Never allow pump to come in contact with water. Air pumps have to be kept at a height higher than the highest water level of the aquarium, to ensure that the water does not flow back into the air pump in case of electricity failure and not touching or abutting the aquarium to ensure that the vibration caused by the air pumps does not disturb the aquatic fishes. Important safeguard: disconnect all the plugs of the electrical aquarium appliances before putting hands into the water. We recommended that air pump and other electrical aquarium devices, should be connected to correct voltage and power supplies with ground fault circuit interrupters. Power: 12 w voltage: 220-240 v frequency: 50/60 hz output: 4×4 l/min pressure: 0.02 Mpa.

Review: Good result of my research of about 5 pumps - I have tried almost 5 Air Pumps, 1 failed in 2 months and other 4 I have returned due to Noise levels at night. I ordered this SOBO pump after lot of research and with a doubt, but to my surprise, this works like wonder. It have 4 nozzles so I have used connectors and made into 1 single outlets and gives a brilliant Air curtain in my aquarium. NOISE Levels - It has a a auto controller and upto middle level there is NO SOUND at all. But yes at higher levels it does give humming sound. SIZE - the piece is BIGGG, i was surprised to see the size of this Pump (almost 8 inches X 6 Inches) which is about 4 times your normal air pump. But as this goes in the cabinet below my aquarium, I am not bothered about the size. best part is its powerful and does not make the usual irritating humming noise.
Review: Low noise high power - Really good one . powerful yet quiet good looking too

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Low noise high power
*by A***R on 9 December 2022*

Really good one . powerful yet quiet good looking too

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Noise Less
*by A***E on 12 December 2024*

It is a very good oxygen and it is not noisy at all, unlike other products in the market which are very noisy. Today, I feel this is a zero silence product. The only problem is that the size is big, the rest is a quality product.
