With all the current and past DIY aeration system discussions, I want to share my experience.

Some ~10 years ago I contacted Bill Cody about DIY aeration systems and he recommended a ¼ hp Gast rotary vane air compressor - best recommendatin ever!

That little pump is still running today 24/7 except winter months with NO pressure loss, housed in a Igloo cooler with NO cooling fan!
Only maintenance required is annual filter cleaning and occasional O-ring replacement
Low electricity usage!

Don’t know todays cost but best bargain ever for my money!
