"SERIOUSLY PEOPLE WHERE'S YOUR OWNERSHIP"May 30, 2010
By Daniel Cotte
I know, I know ... You don't like the Tetra Whisper 100 ... It's too noisy, It's cheap, The diaphrams don't last ... blah, blah, blah! We know, we've ALL been there including myself. HOWEVER, come on, where's your ownership ... If you are old enough to have common sense and can take constructive criticism than YOU should already know "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!" I've Been There!!!!!!! Not to mention for ALL those who are thinking of purchasing a RENA, think again ... you MUST do your research! YES, I know what you want to say, " but RENA's are better " and I agree, a "better company" but the problem lies deeper. The problem is with DIAPHRAM PUMPS .... PERIOD!!!!!!!!!! Face it, you can spend $25 on the Whisper or $50 on the Rena, you WILL STILL have diaphram problems. After research, I found that for $70.08 w/ shipping (viva la pets inc online)... I NOW have a Coralife Super Luft Pump(model SL-58 rated for 400 gallons or multiple tank applications) ... These pumps work with a PISTON rather than a diaphram. In turn, if anyone knows, a piston is MUCH better but different nevertheless even in the event something failed it can be worked on rather than having to replace. ALSO, it is an aluminum housing vs cheaper plastic and even the air filter can be taken out and replace relatively simple in fact. MOST importantly, piston manufactured pumps are designed for commercial use so the are built much stronger. Coralife offer a few models ... ex... SL-38 AND SL-58 ... pumping 38 & 58 Liters PER MIN vs Whispers 9 Liter Per Min. The SL-58 I purchased for $70 now handles a 55 gallon, a 30 gallon, two 20 gallons, and a 15 gallon ALL WHILE OPERATING FLAWLESSLY :) I have learn to simply INVEST in the right pump, filter, powerheads, light, tanks, plants, etc... DO YOUR HOMEWORK ONCE AND YOU WILL ONLY PAY ONCE....hope this helps...GOD bless everyone...
If I can help in any other manor feel free to email me at [...]

 lasted 3 daysJun 04, 2007

I have a 55 gallon aquarium but it is deep, so I needed a powerful air pump replacement when my unit failed. I got overnight shipping on this, because my fish could not wait. When I took it out of the box and hooked it in, it was VERY loud-but it had good aeration. On the second day, there was no output from one of the ports; and on the morning of the third day there was no output at all. But it had finally gotten quiet!! I placed another overnight order and got my original brand of pump and have had no problems. The whisper pump will not be recommended by me to anyone. The box was well packed and undamaged, so obviously the QA at the factory was not completed.

Cheap and won't last-waste of $$Oct 22, 2007
By Frank Rini
I have a 95 gallon tank and have went through several of these whisper 100's to power multiple airstones. At first it blows very strong air through both outlets. Over time one or both of the outlets stops blowing air, or blows it so weakly that a bubble or 2 might come out of the airstone. These are made so cheaply and I am about to complain to the company. I have went through 4 in the last year. I guess the diaphrams over time just conk out. I am awaiting a few rena 400 pumps and hope they are more reliable.

Whisper my @ssJun 14, 2009
By J. Peralta
This thing was quiet when I first got it.
3 months later it sounds like a pet store.
I should've laid down 60 bucks for the Rena.

Quiet is a relative termAug 14, 2007
By David L. Morris
I purchased the Whisper 100 about three weeks ago to drive both tubes on an undergravel filter in a 30 gal tank. I was replacing a Whisper 40 that wasn't able to drive two tubes. The 100 was noticeably louder than the 40, but still OK in my living room. You could tell it was there, but you could tune it out. Until a couple of days ago. The whisper turned into a rattling hum on the left side. Adjusting the airflow made no difference. I had to disconnect the tube. That did the trick, until today when the right side started going south. So I unplugged it and now have two separate pumps (a whisper 40 and some other tiny one I got at Walmart) running the two tubes. Both of them together are quieter than the 100 was when it first came out of the box.
I give it a 2 instead of a 1, because I could probably send it in and get it fixed, but at this price it's just not worth the trouble.
