  • Automatically switches to battery use during a power outage
  • Powerful air flow with 5 adjustable levels
  • 1-year hassle-free warranty

The air pump you've always needed is here. Keep your aquarium water well-oxygenated and your fish healthy in absolutely any scenario — even when the power is out. To give you peace of mind, the Aquarium Co-Op air pump utilizes a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that automatically switches to battery use if it loses power. It can be run continuously for approximately 20 hours on a single charge and can run in Power Save mode (where the air cycles between 15 seconds on and 15 seconds off to conserve battery) for 40 hours or more. Note: the printed manual has not been updated yet and incorrectly states that the battery runs for 8 and 16 hours.

Has been tested during a short term power outtage

Worked like a champ! Powered both my filters for about 8 hours when the power went out. I have no reason to think it wouldn't have kept going had I needed it - but, fortunately the power came back on. Thanks ACO

ACO dual outlet air pump

I really appreciate how the ACO air pump has been engineered to be so versatile and reliable. It's very intentionally designed, and high quality. Customer service at ACO is top notch, and the company's philosophy and products are the industry gold standard for good reason. ACO walks with a purpose.

Peace of mind

I love this air pump. The double outlet option is powerful enough to run two double stacked sponge filters, even the largest size. It’s quiet. Most of all, it keeps running in the event of a power outage. I love that the pump kicks in automatically - one less thing to worry about!

Single & Double Outlet Pumps

I had previously left a 4 star review because the Dual Outlet pump I ordered was very loud. However, customer service reached out to me and ended up refunding me for that unit. I am very impressed with Aquarium Co-Op's customer service -- this company really stands behind their products!

My single outlet pump continues to work very well.

I bought the one output and two output versions. The two output version was incredibly loud, but the smaller 1-output version was acceptably quiet.

Great everyday pump that also does emergency and transportation duty

Have one of these powering Co-op sponge filters in two tanks. Worked great to throw on a 5 gallon bucket to transport fish to the store.

Follow-up Review ... Less Than Stellar ...

My initial hopes were high; this has the potential to save my fish next time we have a multi-day power outage. But it was untested at my first review...

I had to do a lot of work on my big tank, so I moved the fish over to a 40Breeder tank for a few weeks while the work continued. I had a couple power-sponge filters, so I wasn't worried about filtration, per se; I was more concerned with getting a bit of surface agitation for better CO2 dissipation. I figured one air stone per outlet should work okay, right??

Well ... to put it bluntly, each outlet is barely able to push more than an anemic stream out of the air stone. If this were a standard air pump, you'd assume the diaphragm was shot. I opened it up just to make sure, and the diaphragms were fine .... just that the motor was ... well, being kind .... pathetic.

Others have suggested spending a lot less for something essentially the same, from Amazon. After this real-world test ... I'd have to agree. I already have these three, so I'll keep 'em charged up for the next time power goes out. But I'll already know they don't have the power this price point would suggest ... and I doubt they'll last as long as suggested. You can do better ...

They don’t last..

Poor quality, luck if you get a year out of them…
Waste of money.

I got this just in time for the storm. Lost power for 2 days. Wrapped my tanks in blankets and turned this on to power save mode. Never lost a fish!
