The Rissee SCARAB series sets a high-performance standard in aeration — a compact industrial pump with signature dual-chamber wings, built for applications that demand consistent airflow under significant back-pressure. Where standard air pumps suffer flow-loss at depth, the SCARAB maintains torque and pressure, keeping oxygen delivery constant in deep water and through fine-pore diffusers. Choose the 240V AC line-up for permanent installations, or the 12V DC range for transport, emergency backup, and solar-powered systems.

Why Professionals Choose SCARAB

Most air pumps are built for shallow tanks and easy runs. The SCARAB is built for real systems — deep water, long lines, and fine-pore diffusers that punish underpowered pumps.

🪲

Dual-Chamber Wings

Two chambers, double the exhaust pressure. Internal dual-motor air chambers deliver larger air displacement and double the pressure — without increasing power consumption.

🌊

Built for Depth

2.5 metres, every model. Standard pumps lose flow the deeper they push. The SCARAB maintains torque and pressure, so oxygen delivery stays constant in deep-water environments.

AC or DC — Your Call

One series, two power worlds. 240V AC models for permanent mains installations, or a comprehensive 12V DC line-up for transport, emergency backup, and solar applications.

Engineered for Pressure

Every SCARAB packs the same high-pressure DNA — from the 10 LPM DC-10 to the 80 LPM DC-80. No stripped-down entry models, no compromise components.

Dual-Chamber Displacement

Double the exhaust pressure. Twin motor-driven air chambers maximise displacement and efficiency without extra power draw.

Uniform 2.5m Depth Rating

Depth is not an upgrade. Every model in the series operates effectively at depths up to 2.5 metres.

Adjustable Output

Dial in your airflow. An inline control dial (on applicable models) lets you calibrate output to your system's exact requirements.

Aluminum Alloy Housing

Built to run cool. A thick aluminum alloy shell delivers optimal heat dissipation and long service life.

Under 50dB Operation

Quiet enough for any room. Acoustic dampening keeps noise below 50dB — no more humming through the fish room wall.

Brass Outlet + Manifold

Distribution sorted. Every pump ships with a brass outlet and multi-outlet plastic manifold for easy air splitting.

Vibration-Relieving Feet

Stable and silent. Rubber feet decouple the pump from your bench or shelf, killing vibration transfer and rattle.

Compact Industrial Design

Small footprint, serious output. The signature winged chassis fits tight installs while moving up to 80 LPM.

Find the Right Model for Your System

Eight models, one depth rating. Pick your power source first — 240V AC for permanent installs, 12V DC for mobile, backup and solar — then match flow rate to your system volume and diffuser load.

Model Type Power Flow Rate Max Pressure Dimensions (L×W×H)
AP-20A 240V AC 10W 18 LPM 2.5m 12.2 × 14.4 × 7.1 cm
AP-30A 240V AC 18W 30 LPM 2.5m 13.0 × 13.3 × 8.5 cm
AP-50A 240V AC 25W 54 LPM 2.5m 17.1 × 15.0 × 9.1 cm
DC-10 12V DC 5W 10 LPM 2.5m 10.6 × 12.5 × 6.3 cm
DC-18 12V DC 10W 18 LPM 2.5m 12.2 × 14.4 × 7.1 cm
DC-30 12V DC 18W 30 LPM 2.5m 13.0 × 13.3 × 8.5 cm
DC-50 12V DC 25W 54 LPM 2.5m 17.1 × 14.8 × 9.1 cm
DC-80 12V DC 40W 80 LPM 2.5m 19.8 × 16.7 × 10.6 cm

All models rated to 2.5m maximum pressure. Inline output control dial included on applicable models. Always size for total system back-pressure — diffuser pore resistance plus line losses.

AC or DC — Match the Power to the Job

The SCARAB range splits into two complete line-ups sharing the same dual-chamber, depth-rated platform. Choose the power world that fits your installation.

240V AC Line-Up

AP-20A, AP-30A, AP-50A. Mains-powered models for permanent hatchery, aquarium, and pond installations. Plug in and forget.

12V DC Line-Up

DC-10 through DC-80. Battery-voltage models built for transport, live-haul tanks, and off-grid locations.

Solar & Backup Ready

Keep air flowing when the grid fails. DC models run straight from a 12V battery bank or solar system — ideal emergency aeration.

Adjustable Output

Calibrate on the fly. Applicable models include an inline control dial for precision airflow management across the output range.

Build the Full Air System

A great pump deserves a great delivery system. Pair your SCARAB with the right diffusers, tubing, and protection to get the most from every litre of air.

🫧

Air Diffusers & Air Stones

Fine-pore performance. The SCARAB's 2.5m pressure rating drives high-resistance fine-pore diffusers that starve standard pumps. View Range →

🧵

Airline Tubing

Rated for the run. Match your line to the pump — we stock airline sized for every SCARAB flow rate and run length. View Range →

🛡️

Check Valves

Protect your pump. A check valve stops back-siphoning during power cuts — essential insurance for any below-tank installation. View Range →

🔋

Backup DC Air Pumps

Redundancy when it matters. Pair an AC SCARAB with a DC model on a battery for backup aeration during outages. View Range →

Everything in the Box

Every SCARAB ships ready to plumb in — no extra fittings run required before your first start-up.

🔩

Brass Outlet

Durable, threaded, ready. A machined brass outlet stands up to years of fitting cycles — no plastic snap-fittings at the pump.

🔀

Multi-Outlet Manifold

Split your air with ease. The included multi-outlet plastic manifold distributes airflow across several tanks or diffusers from one pump.

🦶

Rubber Vibration Feet

Fitted and damping. Vibration-relieving rubber feet come pre-fitted for stable, quiet operation straight out of the box.

🎛️

Inline Control Dial

On applicable models. Where fitted, the inline dial gives precision airflow management without touching the plumbing.

Take It to the Next Level

Thinking beyond a single pump? These are the moves serious aeration systems are built on.

📈

Step Up in Flow

Room to grow. Moving from an AP-20A to an AP-50A — or DC-30 to DC-80 — more than doubles your airflow while keeping the same 2.5m depth rating.

🔁

AC + DC Redundancy

Never lose aeration. Run an AC model as your workhorse and a DC SCARAB on a charged battery as backup for power cuts and transport.

☀️

Go Full Solar

Off-grid aeration. The DC line-up runs directly from 12V solar systems — pair with a battery bank for 24/7 aeration far from any outlet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q How deep can the SCARAB pumps operate?
Every model in the series is rated to a maximum pressure of 2.5 metres. That rating covers water depth plus diffuser resistance — so a SCARAB holds its rated flow at 2.5m of depth, or in shallower water through fine-pore diffusers that add back-pressure.
Q Should I choose a 240V AC or 12V DC model?
Choose 240V AC (AP-20A, AP-30A, AP-50A) for permanent installations with mains power — hatcheries, display tanks, ponds. Choose 12V DC (DC-10 to DC-80) when the pump needs to move with your system: transport tanks, live-haul, remote sites, or backup aeration on a battery.
Q How loud are these pumps?
All SCARAB models are rated under 50dB thanks to acoustic dampening and vibration-relieving rubber feet — quiet enough for living spaces and working fish rooms alike.
Q Can I run a DC model from a solar setup?
Yes — the 12V DC line-up is ideal for solar applications. Run the pump from a 12V battery bank charged by solar panels. Size your battery and panel array for the model's draw (5W to 40W depending on model) plus your target run time.
Q Will a SCARAB drive fine-pore diffusers and air stones?
Yes. Fine-pore diffusers create higher resistance that chokes standard pumps — exactly the condition the SCARAB's dual-chamber, high-pressure design is built for. Match the model's flow rate to the number and type of diffusers you're running.
Q Can I adjust the airflow?
Applicable models include an inline control dial for precision airflow management, letting you calibrate output to your system without re-plumbing. Check the individual model listing for dial availability.
