RE: [Killietalk] A Quick Linear Pump Question

["Al Anderson" <killiman at iquest_net>]

I have about 200 outlets and they are on a 2" loop that goes around the fish
room there is a 1" loop that feeds about 30 tanks in a small side room. And
I use the smallest Gast blower. The blower is out in my garage and I do not
hear it in the house. My next pump will be one from John.

With a blower I used 1.25" piping to feed the tanks & pushed a valve into
this pipe above each tank. The blower produces volume but little pressure.
Would a linear power a similar system or should it be tapered off to smaller
diameter piping the further from the pump?
