Airtech 130 or a HiBlow 80...

I`m using a HiBlow 40 now but a bigger pump is needed, and was going for the HiBlow 80 but the dealer I go to has non in and recommended the Airtech 130, are the Airtech pumps any good ??

I`ve been read the forums and it seems that back presure from using too smaller size tube/pipe and not enough right size stones/disks doesnt help.

Would you recommend a Airtech 130 ??

Yes ... it's one of the best pumps available.

But like anything else it's only as good as the application it's used for. Use any pump incorrectly, creating too much back pressure and it will overheat and blow up. Damaging the diaphragm and or the pump. 8)
