Wow! I'm trying to move into DWC here and am setting up a test bucket.

This air pump is amazingly loud, and it's a very annoying sound. Like an old electric alarm clock -B-U-Z-Z-Z!!!

It's an "Eco Air 1 Plus," just a cheapie, 9 bucks at the $$ hydro shop.

What QUIET pumps are ya'll using? If you have experience with more than one type, could you rank them in order? I might not be able to locate the exact model you like.

I've got the dang thing stuffed in a small Igloo killer and it's still really loud. Price is no object--but this one ain't gonna fly. I can't imagine running it 24/7 inside. I wouldn't mind having something higher capacity; probably would run multiple buckets if I could. But if it's gotta be this loud, I won't be able to stand it. It seems louder than all my fans combined!

Help! This is annoying the wife, and she's volatile to begin with! :cursing:

Thank you, Hermie (WHAT?!?)
