Thanks in advance.

I have one of those for tanks holding mated pairs. I haven't used it yet, but it is really well made.

Aren't the Alitas and the DAPMH15 from Jehmco diaphragm pumps?

I think Francis is looking for a piston pump.

Francis, I'm looking for pretty much the same thing a true liner piston pump to drive 20+ sponges. It has to be super quite, reliable and powerful yet with a low watt usage.:angel: and did I mentioned low cost too!:D

Just let me know if you find it Francis:)

well aquacave has free shipping other than an overweight fee. which is low. 15.00 so big saving there.
the jehmco one sounds good..and i need more supplies also for the shop. hydro sponges, bags etc. so we could do in one clean sweep . pick up on a monday . i have a wholesale account there francis.

i need about 25 to 30 lines. also jehmco has the valves for the pvc pipe.. i have some..but need more.

Hey Francis,

I have the Pondmaster AP100, works great and very quite. Got it from Mops. Free shipping. Plenty of air for 20+ sponges.:)

Take care, Evelyn

I have two 60s from John @ Jemhco. The price is right and the pumps work great. I would highly reccommend calling John at Jemhco Francis. Ed
