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.
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, :)
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
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.
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.
Who is the company that made your pressure relief valve?

Thanks for sharing. I 100% agree with what you are saying.
Useful information, thanks.
Hi,
do you have a link for the bleeder valve please. Great episode

@ProfilesAquatica where did you get the test tube holder i can see at 4:08 in the video?
Would be nice if you had pressure gage in line

Can you link where you got that bleeder valve for the air system? Thanks!
You can buy them from Jehmco (.com), but you'll have to call them to order it.

and where did you get the bleeder?
Plastic, PVC or Cycolac stop valve and air muffler. Amazon, Grainger, Zoro, MHC, etc.
