My DWC system came with a eco2 air pump (JUNK) is the only term that comes to mind. My grow room and my entire home sounds like a shop compressor on full!. I needed something quiet and yet affordable AKA CHEEP!. I ordered a replacement air pump it is a Fluval Air Pump model Q-2 I hope it will be a decent replacement. I ordered a air line flow adjustable manifold 4 line and new air stones. Anyone know anything about the Q-2?
 
I can not believe the noise my eco-2 makes!. I would not recommend the eco-2 for home use at all. Air volume is mediocre AT BEST. I have a shop compressor and the eco-2 sounds like a shop compressor ON FULL.
 
I got a Fluval Air Pump model Q-2 This pump will be pumping air into a 5 gal. res. I see its rated at up to 150 gal. Overkill YES but I bet this will make my 5 gal res. look like a Jacuzzi Two new airstones orderd as well. The Eco 2 is no good for inside home use UNLESS YOU ARE DEAF!. I hope this new pump will fare better.!
 
THE New Fluval Q2 air pump arrived. AND WHAT A DIFERANCE FROM THE ECO-2 ONE!. The pump is in full operation and set to high. I am sitting next to the operating on full pump as I type this. I hear nothing!. Well, I do hear bubbles.,

Great news. From where did you order? My pump is ALMOST as loud as my wife (does it have dual outlets and do you think it will handle 2 12" stones)?
