I'm looking to buy a new linear air pump I have the LPH from
jehmco but I'm looking at the Alita's from Ken's Fish. Is there
anyone that has the Alita and can comment on them.
Thanks

I have a Al-60 love it.

I have the Alita AL-15A and it is the quietest air pump I have ever owned! Extremely powerful and is silent!

If your LPH is wearing out there are repair kits available for them.

Altia AL-60 here... bought it used & it lasted almost three years before it needed a rebuild.

Don't mean to be a drag, but how long should they last before a rebuild? 3 years doesn't sound like very long.

it's recommended to rebuild once a year. But, IMO Just keep a rebuild kit on hand.
Either way it lasted almost three years for me & who knows how long it was going for the previous owner.

Owned both....prefer the Alita.

Was wondering how many filters or other outputs you can operate on the 15A? I'm still looking for a pump to handle filtration for about 12 20G longs and breeder boxes and was wondering which Alita is best suited.

Rebuilt my AL-60 last night. It's manufacturing date is 2008, so if the previous owner did not rebuild it, then it lasted 6yrs.

I have a 15A right now running 10 outlets with no problem and I take one on the road with me that runs 12 without any issues. Depends on placement I think. Mine running 10 is pushing upward from the floor and if I had it up I am thinking I could get more out of it.

Blair how many outlets does your AL-60 run?
