Got if from amazon
Amazon's got a good price on those. At 47.5 Liters per minute it should run 40+ outlets with ease.

That what I thought too. And I figured how many outlets I'll be running and it totaled 30 and that was have 6 extra sponges going "in case"

Good! Just in case I want to expand ;D
My Jemco is only a year old, but the thought of running out of air is terrifying. I do have these 4 small Medo linear pumps run about 15 sponges each. They are ancient, but they work. (those old Medo's refuse to die). I bet I could put my thinking cap on and figure out how to plum them all together. They would require check valves because without them, they think that they are working against one another.
Actually, even without my thinking cap I have a picture in my mind of what to do. It'll be easy.
My wife's grandfather has a couple of those medo pumps and he swears by them
I only bought my Jemco when I basically decided to move my own self into the fish room. They are great, but since they are not insulated they have a hum to them. 3 of them running in a 20X20 room got too loud to live with 24/7.
Just arrived today!! Excited to get this bad boy hooked up. I plugged it in and it's super quiet and that's with air just pushing out the front nozzle, after I hook it up to my loop it should quiet it even more.

Tell me about it. I regret selling my alita but I guess I'm glad I did because now I have a bigger pump haha
I don't run a closed loop on mine......works fine...and I can add to either end too... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I left mine up when I moved a yr and a half ago so it's just easy to use what's already there. It worked great for me. It circles my entire 12x12 fishroom. I do like the setup you have though and if I move again I'll more than likely go that route since putting up the PVC was a pain in the rear

Heck yeah, why reinvent the wheel, if one's available......
