EHEIM air200

Choose the EHEIM air200 for two direct air lines from one pump, with a nominal 200 l/h output.1

Why this one

  • The air200 provides two outlets for separate air lines, so you can connect a pair of air devices directly.1
  • Its nominal output is 200 l/h on a 3.5 W rating, compared with the air100 at 100 l/h and the same rated power.12

Other contenders

  • EHEIM air400

    Choose the EHEIM air400 when you want a higher nominal output for two direct air lines. It is rated at 400 l/h with two outlets, compared with the air200 at 200 l/h.13

Buying advice

  • Match the pump to the depth and airflow requirements of your diffuser or air driven filter. A nominal output and a maximum lift are separate ratings, not a promise of that output at every depth.1

For nano tanks and small aquariums

Consider the air100 when you need one direct air line and its nominal 100 l/h output suits the connected device. A small tank does not by itself establish the airflow needed.2

For deep tanks

The air200 lists a 2 m maximum lift. Check the pump and diffuser instructions against the depth where you will place the air device before choosing it.1

For running several devices from one pump

Choose the air200 when you want two separate air lines connected directly to one pump. Its two outlets avoid needing to split a single outlet for those two lines.1

For large tanks and fish rooms

Consider the air400 for its higher nominal output of 400 l/h and two direct air outlets. Choose by the connected devices and their depth rather than tank size alone.3
