AquaEL Oxyboost Plus

The AquaEL Oxyboost APR Plus is a quiet membrane air pump whose air output is smoothly adjusted with a dial on top. The number in the name is the maximum air output in litres per hour.

There are two models – APR 150 Plus for aquariums of 100–150 l (one outlet, 150 l/h, 2.2 W, head 60 cm) and APR 300 Plus for aquariums of 200–300 l (two outlets of 150 l/h each, 2.5 W, 70 cm). Both take 4/6 mm airline. The insulated housing keeps it quiet and the rounded shape makes it easy to clean.

The pump suits continuous aeration and driving sponge and undergravel filters, and in a marine aquarium also a simple tube protein skimmer. The pumps are made at the AquaEL factory in Suwałki, Poland, so according to the manufacturer membranes and piston units are always available as spare parts.
