Air Pumps

[Chobble]

Alright, I'm a complete and utter noob to air pumps. I need to get an air pump to brew 200 gallons of tea at a time. I know that sounds like a lot, but many people use much more in smaller hydro systems. I have Four barrels, Each one holding 50 gallons. At minimum I want to be able to run two 6" air stones out of each barrel (Minimum, preferably 4 airstones).

Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

Think Cheap and affordable as well please :D

Here "Microbe Tim" says an Eco Plus Commercial 5 is suitable for a 50 gallon brewer

There is a thread somewhere on here about DIY vortex brewers using 5 gal buckets that im sure could be modified to 55 gallon drums and relatively cheaply too.

This ecoplus pump is about the best for 200 gal.and it last forever.

Shoot for 1 lpm per 1 gallon of water for actively aerated compost teas, agitation and aeration need to be intense to get the best teas.

An eco air pump with a couple stones is hardly going to get you what you need.

Current Culture H2O has Alita and Hi-Blow air pumps as well as some pretty cool diffusers, I bought a brewer from them several years back, it still kicks ass.
