Texas715,
Your timing couldn't be better....just spent the day runing an airline from my large pond to the 1/4 acre TGG pond, a distance of about 400 feet. The large pond is also another 400 feet from the compressor.
It is absolutely no problem to push the air those distances....a far better option than running electricity.
I just hook up the middle buster on the tractor and dig the trench and lay the pipe. Takes very little time and effort.
I prefer to use pvc pipe at least 3/4 inch. Today I was using 1 inch for this additional line. I like pvc because of its durability over the plastic pipe...I can run over it on my equipment without problems. Also, the cheap plastic stuff isn't often pressure tested before shipping and you can have leaks.
How far can you push air? I've heard of guys pushing it 2000 to 3000 feet without any problems. Maybe one of the Vertex pros will chime in on this....by the way I recommend their diffusers and compressors also, really excellent.
If any questions I haven't answered, please ask. Thanks.
