How To Set Up The Tetra Whisper Air Pump [CC]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this 2017 video I show you how to set up the Tetra Whisper Air Pump for 2-10 gallons.
[CC] available. So you don't have to listen to my weirdly quite voice and the annoying repeating of the word "thing" lol.
You don't need the same air stone bar as me or the same check valve or tubing, I just went with the cheapest things I could find. In the video I showed two different air stone bars. The first one didn't fit in the tank so that's why I showcased a different one in the tank at the end of the video.

*Sorry I kept calling the air control valve a "thing". Also, sorry the audio is really quiet.* Subtitles are an option. Oh, and apparently, *I installed the check valve the wrong way. So do the opposite of what I did. Links are in the description⬆⬆⬆ Also, here👇 are some ANSWERS to the most asked questions.*
*Question>.* Do you need to have a Check Valve?
*Answer>.* No, a check valve is not necessary for the pump to work. It's for stopping any water from getting into the air pump. The inside of air pumps are not water proof, so it would be good to have one in case water from the fish tank were to siphon up the tube and enter the air pump, which is very possible especially when turning off the air pump. If you want to risk not having a check valve, then make sure your air pump is placed above the tank somewhere and have the airline tubing hang down making U shape between the air pump and the tank. That might keep the water from getting into the air pump. But I recommend just getting a cheap little check valve so you won't have to buy a bran new air pump if something were to happen.
*Question>.* What does the Air Pump come with?
*Answer>.* It come's with the air pump, the air control valve, and some instructions. The things you need to buy separately are: Airline Tubing, Air Stone or Bubble wand or Sponge Filter or you can just put the tubing in the water with nothing attached, and a Check valve if you want.
*Question>.* Does the Air Pump make any noise?
*Answer>.* Yes, It makes a small buzzing or vibrating noise. That's why it's called the Whisper Air pump and not the Completely Silent Air Pump. It can be louder out in the open or on a hard surface or if the valves are touching something. I keep mine on the floor behind a stand, so I can't really hear it at all.
*Question>.* How come no bubbles are coming out?
*Answer>.* Well, there could be a few reasons why bubbles aren't coming out of your Tubing or Air Stone.(1). The air flow control valve could be completely twisted shut preventing any air from the air pump getting into the tank.(2). The tubing could be clogged somehow, maybe with water.(3). Air could be exiting from somewhere on the tube.(4). Your bubble wand or air stone might not be soaked in the water long enough for it to have softened up and open the pores in which the air exits.(5). Maybe your air pump isn't strong enough for the size bubble wand you have.

What a fantastic tutorial, not unnecessarily long, just right, explained concisely, quality microphone and relaxing voice.

You're a rockstar for explaining this. I had purchased all the correct pieces but had zero idea how to assemble it all. Much love!!

[lulamoonlight]

So your telling me I needed all these separate parts! Dude omg wow well wish me luck going back to the petstore

[phamthai]

OMG I love this, you went straight to the point, unlike many other videos while I needed to know how to set the dear thing up they tried to educate me why an air pump is important for fish. Duh ! I knew it's important that's why I got one !!!

If you can't put the air tube. Put the end in hot water, it will make it softer.

Thanks I was wondering what those black air control things were. They came with the pump and I was wondering if it took place of the other air thing I had. Now I see that I need both. Thank you!!

[cleovintora]

So much better than the instructions on from the

[jelkafabianova]

finally video where it makes sense, thanks. i recommend not to use air control but bleed valve, it makes less pressure and helps your air pump to last longer

[MrBestgeorge]

Very good instructions, thanks! Tetra should be paying you for this.
