If I parallel connect two identical air pumps will this increase my LPM?


Say I bought two ap-100, and ran in parallel meaning hosing off their outputs (3/4") connected to a Y into one 3/4" line
To my vortex brewer input would I increase airflow? Can't seem to find a good answer

Yes, but I'm sure you'd be better off simply running two separate lines next to each other.

Not really an option as I only have one inlet on my brewer...

I guess I could just make it a pipe thread to 2 3/4" inlets.... That's what ill do then. Just need to make sure that two running together would help
