The Silent Air® B11 Battery Powered Air Pump is a powerful and versatile air pump that will aerate your aquarium during a power outage or when there is any interruption to your AC power. A must for any aquarium, the Silent Air® assures continuous aeration of your tank giving you peace of mind and keeping your fish safe. This air pump provides your tank with needed air whenever the AC power is interupted. Simply connect your Silent Air® pump to your air line or aerating stone, insert two "D" size batteries (not included), plug into any AC outlet and turn the on/off switch to the ON position. The Silent Air® will now continuously monitor your AC power to detect any interuption and will turn on automatically as needed providing your fish with life-saving aeration during a power-outage. Designed for extended operation, the Silent Air® B11 uses two large "D" size batteries that insures hours of continuous operation. The Silent Air® provides enough air for most aquariums up to 55 gallons in size and can also be used for transporting fish or for use in temporary tanks while cleaning your aquarium. Whether you have a tripped breaker, a blown fuse or complete power outage, the Silent Air® B11 Battery Powered Air Pump will give you hours of needed air when you need it most. It is recommended that you test your Silent Air® periodically by unplugging the AC cord with the unit ON which should activate your pump. Batteries should be tested and changed as needed. The AC power cord is for power detection only and will not charge your batteries. Requires 2 Alkaline "D" batteries (not included) that can provide full power for up to 48 hours depending on the life of your batteries. Length of operation with battery power will vary depending on the quality and age of the batteries used. Placing unit on a shock absorbing surface will minimize vibrational noise. Measures 5.5"Hx 3"Wx 2"D and has a 5' power cord for easy placement.

   This is the second one I've purchased. We did have a power outage during the winter in which we lost power for almost 3 days. This worked great to say the least. I have a battery back-up system but with no power there is not a way to recharge it so when it went dead these keep running because all you have to do is replace the D cell batteries which I didn't have to do...very efficient!!! It can be a little noisy when it is running but definitely something you can live with as it is only temporarily. You won't be sorry owning this product!!!!

   This product does exactly what it says it does. It is a good system for an emergency aquarium pump that cuts on automatically when the power cuts off. Very convenient when it happens while you are at work or away from the house. Some have said this model makes a lot of noise, but I do not think the fish will complain that they are getting airflow in an emergency. The noise is not that loud, IMO, and it can be muffled if placed inside a cabinet, such as those that most aquarium stands have. It takes two D batteries, not included. The tubing that comes with the product is only about 12 inches in length, so for my system, that was inadequate. But it accepts standard tubing that you can purchase at your local pet store. For a few bucks you can get about 6' of tubing.

   I bought this since I live in Florida and the storms that come through here can leave people with no power. At first I had my doubts about this. So this is what I think of it.Pros: small, uses D batteries, last a long time, works when power is out and delivers what it is supposed to do.Cons: Loud. this thing is loud but I have an aquarium cabinet and I put it under there on the shelf and I never heard it when the power went off. So if you have it out in the open, it will be loud. Suggest placing a cloth or something underneath it so it will cut down on the noise.Overall, I love it and will not be without one. I only gave it 4 stars because it is so loud. The rest is definitely a 5 star.

   It's not all that silent but it sure lasts a long time. An 8 hour blackout, no problem..all specimens survived in the salt water tank! Sweet....

   I live in a area where power can go out for long period of times. I have had this for a while now and have seen it work. It turns on instantly when the power goes out, even if the power only flickers. It works well, but it is extremely loud. I'm giving it a 4 due to the noise.
