Unfortunately, you have to pay for most of it. Naah. No need to pay for it. Don't need anything industrial scale. I'll try a couple of types of DIY manifolds and pressure chambers with different pipe sizes and use what works best for my application. I'm in the process of locating a tank I can do my testing in.

I have yet to see a fresh water recirculating system that is run on air lifts and I've seen quite a few including multimillion dollar systems. But if you say so. Originally Posted By: JKB Sea water systems use air lift's because of the corrosive nature of sea water. I guess I'm not aware of any sea water systems in Indiana. So there aren't water pumps that are made to withstand corrosion? Originally Posted By: JKB Pressure = Power. The deeper you go, the more power you'll need. You can almost 5X the flow of an air lift just by doubling the size of the pipe, whereas you would have to go 10X deeper with higher pressure to achieve the same flow in the smaller pipe. Don't want to use more power; I want to use less. That's my main impetus for designing a system that runs on air lifts. And yes diameter of the pipe is one of the parameters, but remember I don't need industrial scale power at industrial scale power consumption. Originally Posted By: JKB I'm sure you'll figure out something, and am not knocking this in any way, just that I'll trust the engineering info. I always do. Originally Posted By: JKB Air lift's are not a one size fit's all type of device. Nice thing is they are cheap!!! Nothing in this world is one size fits all. Nothing. Originally Posted By: JKB If you haven't connected the dot's, almost everything in the Aquaculture Industry comes from the water/waste water industry. I knew that from my waste water class in fisheries science before you were born. Dude really? You didn't think I knew that? It's in all the recirculating texts.
