Monday, August 29, 2011 Repair Kit for Tetratec AP50 and AP80 Air Pumps Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Great little kit, much cheaper than buying a whole new air pump. You will want a pair of tweezers or forceps to remove and replace some of the very tiny plastic parts. There's a cute little wrench included in this kit but a decent small pair of channel lock pliers or Vise-Grips will be handy, as will a real screwdriver. I'd suggest a Q-Tip cotton swab, also, for cleaning the inside parts of the air pump where the new valve will go. The spaces are too small for anything else to do the job. You'll want good light and about ten minutes of time to get this done (I have two kids so staking out ten minutes of time is a big deal). The rebuilt pump works great and I love small projects like this. For me, the entertainment value in repairing the old pump was as satisfying as having one of old Tetratec pumps working like new again.
