I've read where several folks are using Gast pumps. I went to the Gast
pump web page and I'll be darned if they don't make more than one model
of pump. In fact they make lots and lots and lots of different types of
pumps.
For those who are using Gast pumps, which model?
SAA-V114-NQ = Two-stage Rocking Piston Vacuum Pump (non-lubricated)
http://isoar.ca/~andrewm/rc/images/saa-v114-nq.jpg
Cost $90 USD new-in-box from an Ebay surplus seller.
I don't run it continuous, as noise is a factor in my apartment. I have
it on a digital vacuum switch with a 5 Gal resevoir tank. It doesn't
like to start with over about 9 inHg, but luckily it leaks just enough
through the valves so the addition of a vacuum checkvalve was all I
needed.
Does anyone have a pump they want to part with for a reasonable price??
Contact me off line on that one.
You can often get a new Gast diaphram pump off Ebay for $25-$50 USD.
