Thanks for the heads up Marc, I appreciate it. I am aware of the oil problem. As far as I can tell, the hydroponic pumps I have been looking at are diaphragm pumps with no oil involved, which is why I considered using one of them rather than one of the many other air pumps out there. At any rate, before I put a system together, I would be very sure that the pump was oil free.

Thanks again for your response,

Best regards,
