boxtech First Impressions
It worked, fabulously!
Once, the water in this tank backflowed into the unit. After 3 weeks, I received a new one in the mail. I have it running 8 different sponge filters at high rate! Just bought and started using it a few days ago. I have been in the hobby for 20+ years and this is the best air pump! Push once for On and hold down for 5 seconds for off. The first lasted about two years when one side decided to put out less air.

boxtech Final Thoughts
Reliability to be seen.
I found calcium deposits were clogging the bottom where the air was supposed to exit. The motor was working but air was not moving. I had the Whisper models and they were way too high in emissions. Highly recommend if you desire HIGH air output on several tubing lines! Otherwise, I would buy another one. I have two of these running in my kitchen and my living room is right next to it. The current from the bubble wand is softer but its still a current.
