Re: need air-pump advice...which to get for my fish room

["Ron Schulz" <beemster at bestweb_net>]

In my last post, I indicted I was using a Japanese made linear piston pump
which has been running continuously for over 20 years. I took a look at the
pump. It is in fact a Medo Compressor made by Nitto Kohki Co. Ltd.Japan.
I called Jemco to ask them if their pump (being Japanese made) was the same
design made by the same company. He said it is the same design made by the
same parent company. Based on this, I would highly reccomend spending the
xtra money and go with a pump from Jemco.

Anybody have experience with this pump.  I like it because it's low priced.

to pump air to more tanks.
