Has anyone used an Aqua Culture air pump before? If so, any useful reviews that you could give woudl be great. Are they reliable, quiet, long-lasting, etc?

I'm using the Aqua Culture 20-60 gallon, double outlet air pump.

Compare to my other air pumps, I would say Aqua Culture is a little bit noisier, though it is noisier, it's powerful.

I tested the Aqua Culture air pump to my other 40 gallon one, the Aqua Culture seemed to pump the same amount of air as my 40 gallon from each outlet (Aqua Culture- Double Outlet), so I think the Aqua Culture air pump I have either pump 30 gallon from each outlet (total 60 gallon as the max the product claimed) or 40 gallon from each outlet?

If you don't mind the noise, and if you want a low price air pump, this is it. The one I have is only $12, I think it's worth to try.

I have a douple air pump as well and one of the diaphragms went on it after about 1 year. I am having problems finding a relacement diaphragm. No one seems to stock them and can not find the company online. I would not recommend them.

Is the diaphragm the little blue things that come with the pump? I got a 20-60 double and I got two little blue things with it that have hose fittings on either end. What do they do?

I have a bunch of them and they do pretty good.

Those are probably one-way valves that go inline between the pump and airstones or whatever the lines go to. They prevent siphoning of tank water back into the pump if the pump is turned off. Highly recommended.
