Re: [Killietalk] Blowers

Tim,

my advice, especially with some of those deep tanks, would DEFINITELY be 
to get a linear piston pump. I have used both and the latter wins hands 
down. They are quieter, put out better air pressure, self-regulate on 
demand, don't wear appreciably, and are cheaper to run. I have a large 
lp pump and it runs 150 tanks, with only the sound of the bubbles 
audible in the room. The type I have are shown on www.jehmco.com, but 
you must be able to get comparable pumps in the UK.
