Air assist

Hi guys
Hope you are all well. Not been on for a while

I have a 6090 and still on the original air assist. Think it's going to give up soon so thought i'd catch it before hand (its 7 years old so had some hammer)
Can anyone recommend a bigger and better air assist pump for me?

Many thanks in advance

Richard

The same one supplied is available in larger sizes - I have one but it is quite noisy so I bought a silent air compressor (now two).

It's about the same noise level but as it cuts in and out at least you get a break from it.

The original air pumps are sold for aerating ponds - worth asking HPC if they do the larger size, if not and if you want I may think about selling mine.

Hi Dave

The little bugger has worked hard these past years. I did go to an aquatics place to find a better one. They said the one I had was more powerful than what they supplied which was strange.

Whats the model of the air comp you have?

The one I bought was a Hailea ACO-380 which is 280 l/pm and 380 watts
