Ensure the life of your fish with the Silent Air Pump with Battery-Powered Back Up from Penn Plax. Plug in the AC power cord, and when there is a power outage, the Silent Air Pump will automatically flip to battery power.

Power outages are easily one of the top reasons for total tank disasters. During a power outage, water movement comes to a halt and when that happens gas exchange will stop. Over a short time, oxygen levels in the water can become depleted, and your fish can start to suffocate. A battery powered air pump is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to promote gas exchange during a power outage. Using a simple airstone, or even just allowing a free flow of air will help agitate the surface of the water, allowing oxygen to transfer and dissolve into the water.

Almost all battery powered air pumps do make a bit of vibrational noise and placing a shock absorbing pad around the pump or on the surface it is laying on will help minimize the noise.

• Be sure to occasionally check your batteries
• NOTE: Power cord does NOT charge the batteries
• Quickly test the Air Pump by unplugging AC power cord
