Hozelock Pond Air Pump 320: 1800

Just right for the job
I bought this as a replacement for two mini pumps that I had coupled together to act as a fish saver in winter when the pond (10ft x 8ft x 2ft, 4500 litres) freezes over. They were barely enough to keep a layer of air under the ice. Then the waterfall pump failed, a major task to replace so I had to increase aeration PDQ and this little beauty does the job very well. It comes with two air-stones and a long length of hose and the fish seem to be content. And so is the lady fishkeeper which is even more important. The pump is adjustable and very quiet (unlike the lady fishkeeper)
GOOD FOR AQUARIUMS TOO ! ! !
I bought this because my rena air 600 recently gave up as they seem to do after 18 months or so, I also wanted to try something that can pump to more depth as my 8 foot tank is just over 2 feet deep and most pumps seem not to like this sort of depth.
I have already tried the Blagdon (far too noisy) so when I saw a recent review on this and the super price on Amazon I decided to PUMP for it !

I can tell you that I am absolutely DELIGHTED with the result !
Not quite as quiet as the Rena air but when you turn it down it is very close and it is SO MUCH MORE POWERFUL !!!

I would recommend this pump without hesitation it is fully pumping 2 2" air stones from the bottom of my tank where I tried an Eheim 400 that could NOT handle them and even the Rena air 600 when good could not match the power OR price of the Hozelock pond air 320!

Cons: you DO have to fit your own power plug so if you are not up to the job it may not be for you.
Hozelock 320 Air Pump
Iam on my second of these pump, they are very good but not completely water tight. The first one failed after 2 weeks when I looked inside it
there was a lot of rain water, but I like the pump as the supplier had not got another one I got my money back, & ordered one from Amazon (which was cheaper).
This time I have put a cover over the pump to keep the rain off, so far it been OK. The only place I can see that rain may be geeting in is around the ajusting knob.
