£46.50

High-output 60L/min air pump supplied with a 10-way manifold for powerful aeration across DWC systems, nutrient reservoirs and multiple air stones.

The Hailea ACO-9820 is a high-capacity diaphragm air pump designed for hydroponic systems that need serious amounts of aeration. Producing up to 60 litres of air per minute, equivalent to 3,600 litres per hour, it provides a central air supply for larger reservoirs and multi-pot growing systems.

Unlike the smaller ACO-96 series pumps with individual outlets built into the casing, the ACO-9820 has a high-output main connection and is supplied with a 10-way manifold. This divides the pump's airflow between multiple airline runs, making it straightforward to operate a bank of air stones from one pump.

Hailea's Super Silent design combines double damping, noise absorption and anti-vibration features to reduce operating noise. The oil-free diaphragm system provides clean compressed air, making the ACO-9820 particularly well suited to hydroponic nutrient aeration.

Why choose the Hailea ACO-9820 Air Pump?

  • 60L/min maximum airflow – delivers up to 3,600 litres of air per hour for demanding aeration applications.
  • 10-way manifold supplied – distribute airflow between multiple air stones from one central pump.
  • Ideal for larger DWC and RDWC systems – provides the air capacity needed for multi-pot hydroponic installations.
  • Low-noise design – double damping and noise absorption help keep operating noise below 40dB.
  • Oil-free diaphragm operation – supplies clean compressed air without oil in the air path.
  • 35W power consumption – efficient output for a pump capable of delivering 60L/min.

High-output aeration for DWC, RDWC and nutrient reservoirs

The ACO-9820 is designed for systems where several aeration points need to operate from one powerful central air pump. Its 60L/min output makes it particularly useful for larger DWC and recirculating DWC installations, commercial propagation systems and sizeable nutrient reservoirs.

The supplied 10-way manifold allows the total pump output to be divided between multiple airline runs. Individual lines can then feed separate air stones positioned in DWC pots or at different points around a reservoir.

Airflow is shared between the connected outlets rather than 60L/min being delivered through every outlet. The actual airflow reaching each air stone will also depend on factors such as airline length, water depth and the resistance created by the diffuser.

How to use the Hailea ACO-9820

Position the ACO-9820 on a firm, stable surface above the water level of the reservoir. Connect the supplied manifold to the main pump outlet, then connect the required lengths of compatible airline to the manifold.

Attach suitable air stones or diffusers to the opposite ends of the airline and position them in the nutrient solution. Keeping airline runs reasonably direct and free from kinks helps minimise unnecessary resistance and maintain good airflow.

The 60L/min rating is the pump's total maximum airflow. When using the 10-way manifold, this air supply is distributed between the outlets being used. The number and type of air stones, depth of nutrient solution and resistance through the system will determine how that airflow is divided in practice.

Periodically inspect the pump, manifold, airline and air stones. Diffusers that become blocked with deposits can increase resistance and reduce effective airflow, so regular cleaning or replacement helps maintain consistent aeration.

Hailea ACO-9820 Air Pump FAQs

How much air does the Hailea ACO-9820 produce?

The ACO-9820 produces up to 60 litres of air per minute, equivalent to a maximum airflow of 3,600 litres per hour.

How many outlets does the Hailea ACO-9820 have?

The pump has a main high-output air connection and is supplied with a 10-way manifold. This allows the airflow to be distributed between up to ten individual airline runs.

Does the ACO-9820 come with a manifold?

Yes. The Hailea ACO-9820 is supplied with a 10-way air manifold for distributing the pump's output between multiple air stones or diffusers.

Is the Hailea ACO-9820 suitable for DWC and RDWC?

Yes. Its 60L/min output and multi-way air distribution make it particularly well suited to larger DWC and RDWC systems where several pots or air stones require continuous aeration.

Does each ACO-9820 outlet produce 60L/min?

No. The 60L/min figure is the maximum total output of the pump. When the supplied manifold is used, that airflow is shared between the connected airline runs.

What size airline does the ACO-9820 manifold use?

The supplied multi-way manifold is designed for standard 4mm internal diameter airline commonly used with hydroponic air stones.

How noisy is the Hailea ACO-9820?

The ACO-9820 is rated below 40dB. Hailea uses double damping and noise-absorbing features to reduce the vibration and operating noise associated with a high-output diaphragm pump.

How much power does the ACO-9820 use?

The Hailea ACO-9820 has a rated power consumption of 35W while delivering up to 60L/min of airflow.

What is the difference between the ACO-9810 and ACO-9820?

The ACO-9810 produces up to 30L/min and is commonly supplied with a 6-way manifold. The larger ACO-9820 doubles the maximum airflow to 60L/min and is supplied with a 10-way manifold, making it better suited to larger multi-pot systems and higher aeration demands.
