Aquarium Air Pump Valve Cleaning / Cheap Fix - Performance Restored

Cleaning the reed valves, or check valves, of a couple aquarium air pumps ended up restoring their performance. In this video, we'll see how those pumps were cleaned. They were used with fish tanks and for making aerated compost tea. I have owned the pumps shown in the video for several years and they all still work great. Below is a list of the pumps serviced in this video. I receive a commission from some of the links in the description. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
