Looks like a pretty decent air pump for the price and it certainly seems to be putting out a good air flow. My go to for air pumps are Evolution Aqua. I noticed you have the pump sitting on the ground beside the moving bed filter. If you haven't already done so I would suggest installing a non return valve in the airline to prevent any water getting into the pump in the event of a power failure. 👍🏻
These are great air pumps. I've had an ACO 9730 for 3 or 4 years and I got a second one from Coastal Koi this year. They are nearly silent! I have both running at the same time and they are quieter than my old Medo LA45 and I thought that was quiet. They will start making some noise if there is too much back pressure but otherwise they sit there calmly purring rather than buzzing.
Mine is rated a super silent but its auditable. If there is no load on the pump as its blowing ar it will be much more noisy thsn if itnwas attached to an air stone. Think it offers 4.5psi or somthing. Defo needs some back presure /resistance to alownthe pump to run more silent. Also aids in vibrations having a bit of resistance.
Nice one Ad looks like a great pump and very quiet as well, nice up date 👍👍🚀🚀
Great Pump.
What a bonus having a plug and a UK one as well 😂.
Good unboxing 👌
Dave & the team @Coastal Koi are tops, great free professional advice too if needed.

Hi, nice pump. Probably worth changing the fuse to 3amp as a 20w pump will draw substantially less that the current fuse of 5amps🤓
Looks a good bit of kit for the money mate 👌🏼
Great review mate 👌🏻
I have the same air pump, but the 9730, from the same supplier mate……. 😊 👍🏼👍🏼
