Aquatop Breza AP-40 Air Pump | Single Outlet, Quiet Aquarium Air Pump for 5 to 50 Gallons

The Aquatop Breza AP-40 is a quiet, energy-saving single-outlet air pump that Aquatop rates for aquariums from 5 to 50 gallons. It pushes 2.5 L/min at up to 2.90 psi while drawing only 3.5 watts. It has no flow knob; to fine-tune the air, add a control valve on the line. Use it to run airstones, sponge filters, bubble wands and air-driven ornaments in freshwater or saltwater.

Features

• Single outlet. Runs one airstone, sponge filter or ornament.
• Rated for 5 to 50 gallons. Matched to the tank sizes on Aquatop's box.
• Simple, steady output. No knob to set; add a control valve if you need less air.
• Low power. Only 3.5 watts.
• Quiet running. Built for low noise, so it suits living rooms and bedrooms.
• 1 year limited warranty from Aquatop.

Setup

1. Place the pump on a stable surface outside the aquarium. Never put the pump in the water.
2. Connect Aquatop Premium Airline Tubing to the outlet and run it to your airstone or sponge filter.
3. If the pump sits below the water line, add a Aquatop Air Check Valve on each line so water cannot siphon back if the power goes out.
4. Form a drip loop in the power cord, plug into a GFCI outlet (not an extension cord or power strip), and switch on.

FAQ

Does it include tubing or an airstone?
No. You will need airline tubing and an airstone or sponge filter, sold separately.

Can I turn the air down?
Not on the pump itself. Add an inline control valve or a gang valve to reduce the flow.

Is it quiet?
Yes. Breza pumps are built for quiet running. Setting the pump on a soft surface helps keep any hum down.
