SOBO SB988 Air Pump

The SOBO SB988 Air Pump is a four-outlet aquarium air pump with adjustable air flow and a combined output of 16 litres per minute. It suits hobbyists who want one mains-powered pump to supply air to several points in a tank or across a multi-tank setup.

Key Benefits

• Four outputs of 4 L/min each, giving a total of 16 litres of air per minute from a single unit
• Adjustable air flow, so you can tune the output to your set-up
• Rated pressure of 4 x 0.2 MPa across the outputs
• 12 W power rating
• Runs on standard South African mains power (AC 220V–240V)

How to Use

Connect the pump to your air-driven aquarium accessories using airline tubing, then plug it into a mains socket (AC 220V–240V). Adjust the air flow until the output suits what you have connected. The adjustable flow lets you fine-tune the supply instead of running everything at full output.
