Tetra Whisper AP 150 Deep Water Air Pump
Tetra rates it for aquariums up to 150 US gal; it publishes no air flow for this size.
Plug-in air pump that Tetra builds for aquariums up to 150 gallons and for set-ups that push back: deep tanks, long air stones or several stones at once.
Consider: Tetra’s page gives no air flow or watts, so it can’t be compared with the smaller Whispers on numbers; choose it for a big or deep tank, or several air stones.
US version. Check what’s in the box before you buy.

Before choosing this model
- Tetra’s page doesn’t list what is in the box or how many outlets it has: check the package before you plan the airline.
- Set the pump above the water line, or fit a check valve, so water can’t run back down the airline into it when the power goes off.
What Tetra doesn’t publish
- Tetra’s page gives only the tank size for this pump: no air flow, watts, voltage, outlets or size. Check the box before you plan the airline and the shelf it sits on.
Before you buy, see how to set it up.
Check it against your tank → Something not working? See the troubleshooting guide.
Build the complete pump, airline and sponge-filter system, including depth, outlet and valve checks.
Included items & upkeep
Tetra doesn’t list what’s in the box, so don’t count on any accessories being included.
Plan for the routine work
- Keep it dry and off the floor where a spill or a leak can reach it.
