Having used both diaphragm pumps and Blowers....................  Get rid 
of them !!!


         They are too noisy, very expensive to run and cannot compete with 
the efficiency of a true linear piston pump.  My linear has been running 
continuously for 4 years, 24 hours a day and I replaced the inlet floss 
filter once each year...................................

         Go to our friend and advertiser Jehmco and they will honestly 
advise you on which size pump is best for you.  and when you set up your 
fish room, set the air in a closed system with no bleeder valves, this will 
increase the efficiency of the system.

         You will not be disappointed.................
