My Hakko 80L pump has been running 24/7 to supplement my 5000 gallon koi pond for years now. It's outside, covered by only a canopy of bushes. The pump lets out a quiet humm which is consistent with all air pumps. This particular model lasts long and we've had no issues whatsoever.

PlayItKoi helped me understand the benefits of adding a manifold into my system to control bubbles coming out of my aerator. The pump will then be able to run for years without having any problems with it!

I've had the HK80L for about 5 years and I'm very happy with the quality of this machine. I run it in the bedroom with a line out to our pond, yes it's that quiet. Maintenance is easy when changing the diaphragms and like a previous reviewer said, have a spare set on hand. My significant other doesn't like it running full blast cause she's worried about the pond plants so I added a bleed valve so that I can adjust the airflow. Buy one!

My follow up review. I bought this pump In June 2019 and the diaphragms first failure was in May 2020, which is pretty good, almost one year. I’ve gone through a lot of shabby air pumps and 11 months of uninterrupted service is pretty good! The product instructions say to replace the diaphragms annually, so just buy a service kit and stash til needed. The service kit is just the cost of using this pump, no whining. I use my pump in a hydroponic application, 24/7, where reliability is critical. The air pump design is really smart. The field induction transformer is made specifically for the pump to move the magnetic actuator, and it is very efficient. The actuator has a diaphragm connected to each side, so air is pumped in both directions, very efficient . If you need a high volume, reliable air pump, this is your product. Just remember to order a service kit when you buy it. Replacing the diaphragms takes about 15 minutes and is very simple.
