Re: [Killietalk] Convention

I don't like battery-operated air pumps for travel because they're noisy, 
the batteries burn out quickly, and the diaphragms don't last. Go to a big 
bait and tackle shop and you'll find insulated coolers fitted with bait 
aerators based on a long-lasting reliable marine sump pump that pushes water 
up to a perforated PVC pipe located near the lid, from which it discharges 
under pressure onto the surface. It comes with an AC/DC cigar lighter 
adapter. There are also variants without the cooler (bring your own). Today 
you can also buy insulated thermal coolers that both heat and cool and also 
plug into a cigar lighter. They're useful for short trips where temperature 
is more important than aeration.
