GREAT VALUE, POWERFUL, RELIABLE
(We also sell these as a kit that includes airstones, pipe and non-return valves. Big savings on parts prices! - search for item: 253109237057 )
Hailea ACO308 Air Compressor – Includes Multi Outlet Manifold
The Hailea AC series air pumps have a piston mechanism rather than relying on a rubber diaphragm, this is a robust, reliable and efficient design, representing excellent performance for the money.
Suitable for oxygenating aquariums and ponds and hydroponics systems, they are also used for compost tea brewers, waste water treatment and other applications such as inflation and dusting.
The AC-Series is designed for continuous or intermittent use indoors (or in a suitable enclosure outdoors).
There is even an inlet connection available on the rear of the pump to draw clean air through a filter for example.
Includes a brass connector & hose and 6-way plastic manifold
Ideal for:
Aquariums (fresh and salt)
Ponds
Hydroponic nutrients and bubbler systems
Aquaponics
Compost tea brewing
Water treatment
Decorative water features
Inflation
Dusting
Specification table: (Complete Range ALL AVAILABLE HERE )
Specifications:
Pump Type: ACO308 / AC45
Voltage: 220-240V, UK plug
Max. Flow (L/min): 45
Max. Pressure Bar: 0.18 bar
Power Consumption: 22W
Weight (kg): 1.2 Kg
Cable 1.3m approx
Dimensions: 195 x 90 x 95 mm
Output -Thread: 8mm, brass barb: 6mm ID, over nozzle 13mm ID, manifold-out 4mm ID, manifold number outlets: 6-way
What pipe do I need?
You will need standard 4mm airline. (It comes with a short length of 6mm pipe to connect the manifold)
How noisy / quiet is it?
They are designed for performance rather than low sound levels – they do make quite a loud hum so please consider this if noise is an issue, it is unlikely to be suitable for your living room for example. Note that the noise is reduced under load so please test under operating conditions. See our ET range of pumps for quieter operation.
How long can it be run for / duty cycle?
These pumps are designed for continuous use under normal conditions. As with any air pump you can prolong its life by balancing the output with a valve to release any excess pressure. Avoid running pumps with no load.
Can I use it outside?
They are not designed for use outside, but are often used in a weather / debris proof enclosure that is well ventilated for air-flow and heat dissipation. Please ensure any outdoor electrical appliance has adequate protection, check with an electrician if unsure.
Is it serviceable?
This range is not serviceable and does not require maintenance other than checking for anything that might cause problems such as debris and moisture.
Tips?
Always use one-way valves if the pump will ever be lower than the water level (on dry land) to prevent the water siphoning back to the pump. Use inline-valves to balance flow between multiple air stones and to relieve excess back-pressure on the pump. Avoid running the pump with no load or with all outputs closed.

There is even an inlet connection available on the rear of the pump to draw clean air through a filter for example.
Every Hailea AC-Series air pump includes a manifold to allow several applications to run from one pump on standard 4mm airline.
