    I have this 8 outlet airpump that works silently for a couple of months but as all pumps, after prolong use, the pump gets noiser by the day. Anything i can do and need to take note of when i service the pump? Do i need to change anything?

    Might as well get a new one
    Cost is cheaper then to repair it.

    Try running the pump without the cover. Usually you can spot the source of the noise. Might be a loose nut, screw, diaphagram etc. Do be careful not to touch any wires or stuff. Unplug the supply before you do any repairs.
