ACO no longer selling USB nano pumps in retail store

[Maximus]

Just a heads up to anyone in the area that ACO is no longer selling USB Nano Pumps in the physical retail store. They are still honoring the typical return policy, though, but obviously not replacing the units.

Yeah I don't know what's up with those lately. They jacked the price on the website which before was the only reason I liked them. No longer have a use for them or their other pumps, I just get what I can find at a good price on amazon.

I've been using these lately:  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B683DHKT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1.

They seem to last longer than the little round USB pumps, and cost about the same.  That link is to an electric pump, but they have a USB version for $1.00 more.

My guess is that an ACO branded nano usb pump is one of the several items they have in the pipeline to launch.

That might make sense, I do remember Cory mentioning that their manufacturer for them wasn't willing to change anything about the design except for the wall wart.

I bet the price will come back down and I would hope to see more longevity out of those little pumps. Whether I’ve gotten them from ACO or Amazon they all have the same issues. Hoping Cory and team can put their stamp of approval on them and give us a better priced product that lasts

Since you can change the setting to have a stronger or weaker air output on the current air pumps, it might make sense to get rid of the nano pumps. Especially if the manufacturer won’t modify anything.
