Should you keep an air pump always running?
I have a couple air pumps for my new fish tank and they do not have on/off switches. This makes me think they are intended to be run constantly. Is that true? Does running them constantly decrease the life of the air pump?
Yes, run it constantly. It is designed as a constant run motor and actually starting and stopping is worse on it than running is.
