I have seen these pumps from time to time & was wondering if it would work good or not. many have a 1 1/2 hp motor & put out 21 cfm free flow.

I guess nobody has used this type of pump. Any ideas on a pump that puts out a lot of cfm to run 6 or 7 dual pods?

I don't think anyone has. In fact I've never heard of a "separate drive" rotary vane pump. I have seen the really large ones you can add several regulator valves to to direct them to different ponds or areas of ponds.

I have a 1/3 hp rotary vane ~4 cfms I direct to three different 1/10th acre ponds via three separate air lines.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

If you look at the gast web site you can see the models 2567 on the rotary vane products list. I have 4 dual pods that run at 1.5-3 cfm each, I want to add two to three other dual pods. Just need a better pump to handle the cfms.

5-6 acres I believe. It has one large square pond connected to a smaller round pond. Currently I'm aerating the large pond, I want to aerate the small pond as well, this will need long air runs in order to do so. just researhing a pump that will handle the job.
