Overall, not too impressed with the quality of items from this manufacturer. (15 years, experienced hobbyist) It will get the job done, but there are many more inexpensive alternatives that will yield far greater results.

My air pump has two outlets, and I used 2 of the "T" fittings to make a "equalizing bridge" between the two outlets. I then used 2 of the control valves to allow individual control of each of the filters. Completely closing either valve diverts air through the equalizing bridge to the other filter, preventing the pump from laboring. <br />I found no problem with quality of workmanship or materials used. The plastic chosen seems to be a non-brittle, slightly flexible type, similar to that used in Tupperware.
