SOBO SB-860A Adjustable Super Silent Air Pump

The SOBO SB-860A stands out as an essential component for any serious aquarist seeking powerful, reliable, and whisper-quiet aeration for their medium to large aquarium setup. This advanced air pump is engineered to deliver high performance while drastically minimizing noise and vibration, ensuring a peaceful aquatic environment and home.

Key Features for Optimal Aeration

The SB-860A is built around a powerful, energy-efficient motor that ensures consistent, deep-water air delivery. Its most defining characteristic is its Super Silent Operation, achieved through specialized noise suppression chambers and a sturdy casing, often equipped with suction cups to further reduce vibrational noise. This makes it a perfect choice for tanks located in living areas or bedrooms where noise pollution is a concern.

It features a Dual Air Outlet design, allowing it to drive two air accessories simultaneously. This capability is ideal for maximizing oxygen distribution in larger or heavily stocked tanks, or for running a combination of devices like two air stones, a sponge filter, and an air ornament at once.

Precision and Control

A vital function of the SB-860A is its Adjustable Airflow. The pump is equipped with a convenient control knob on the top, allowing the user to precisely and freely regulate the output rate. This fine-tuning capability enables you to match the oxygen supply perfectly to the needs of your aquatic life and the specific volume of your tank, preventing excessive turbulence or inadequate aeration.

Technical Performance Details

Operating on standard household voltage (typically 220-240V / 50-60Hz), the SB-860A is highly energy-efficient, consuming only 10 Watts of power. Despite this low consumption, it delivers an impressive total air output of 2 x 6 Liters per Minute (12 L/min total). It achieves a stable pressure of approximately 0.016 MPa, which is sufficient to overcome the resistance of medium-to-deep water columns and operate two devices effectively. Its robust build and quality components are designed for long-lasting, continuous performance in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums.

The SOBO SB-860A combines high output, dual-device versatility, and superior noise reduction in a sleek, modern design, making it a reliable and sophisticated choice for maintaining a thriving and calm aquatic ecosystem.
