How to prevent premature failure on a linear piston air pump

[@jseagate84]

Who is the company that made your pressure relief valve?

[@alans4281]

Thanks for sharing. I 100% agree with what you are saying.

[@woodswoodcraftzone3580]

What if you install one way valve so that extra pressure (if any) will not go back to air pump?

[@CoffeeTimeBrian11]

Useful information, thanks.

Hi, do you have a link for the bleeder valve please. Great episode Regards Duzzy🇦🇺

[@dallon507]

I’m here because I have this pump with only two tanks. 4 filters. Is there a consensus on how much psi the system should be running at? I drilled a 3/16” hole in pvc just to relieve pressure but it’s annoyingly loud and not sure if I’m letting too much pressure out now.

2PSI

Hi, :) Thank you for the much needed info! May I ask if you could tell me how many outlets the MEDO LA-60B is made for? I bought it today, and I cant find that anywere on the internet, :)

[@activehivegaming5368]

I've heard people talking about the L/min is basically approximately the number of outlets it can run. Eg. 60L/min would be good for approximately 60 outlets. I hope this helps or at least a good starting point.

@@activehivegaming5368 there is a calculator on google that helps you know how many litres per minute you need and it even recommends a air pump, but for larger setups like 300 gallons they don’t have a air pump and just tell you the recommended litre per minute

Would be nice if you had pressure gage in line

@ProfilesAquatica where did you get the test tube holder i can see at 4:08 in the video?

[@elsernall8732]

Can you link where you got that bleeder valve for the air system? Thanks!

[@arenelomax]

You can buy them from Jehmco (.com), but you'll have to call them to order it.

[@Koalavo]

Where did you get the valve? I cant find it anywhere

[@jimquitshowingmyname962]

The valve is just a gate valve. I think you are probably trying to find that air compressor relief muffler/silencer. You could literally use a large air stone.

I initially replaced all my pumps with a small used Thomas diaphragm pump. Replaced it's diaphragms once in half a dozen years. Replaced that with a small Fuji turbine, no maintenance other than keeping the intake filter clean, bled off the excess. Linear Piston pumps, just today's fad.

[@oruwatching]

and where did you get the bleeder?

[@jd3497]

Plastic, PVC or Cycolac stop valve and air muffler. Amazon, Grainger, Zoro, MHC, etc.
