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

["Ron Anderson" <yodeman at lycos_com>]

Hi guys,  I'm not Barry, but I believe he has the largest linear pump from JEHMCO. I have this pump also, extremely quiet with tons of air.  The key with these pumps is the fact that the piston floats on air inside the chamber, there is absolutely no friction of any moving parts whatsoever. John told me he stocks the pistons, but has never sold one.  Also, as others have said, they are self regulating based on back pressure, so operate them in a closed loop, so they don't have to work harder than required by your outlets.  They are listed under hardware at  http://www.jehmco.com/index.html 
A little pricey at first, but the largest pump only consumes 120 watts of power, is dead quiet, and will probably last a lifetime.  Ron
