FWIW I have an Airmax turnkey system that uses a rocking piston pump. It is in my little pump house and you need to be within 20 feet of the pump house to hear it at all. The system has worked great so far but only been a year.

With that said, If I could do it over a again, knowing what I have learned at PBF, I would do a DIY system and save the extra bucks. On the other hand, IMHO If I was building a pond complex with multiple ponds or had a large pond with multiple areas of varying depths, I would go to a pro for a professionally designed system.
