The Dr Bross electric pump appears to be Rena Air R301-ES it pulls a maximum of about 11inHG; the Rena pump retails for around $65-85 retail. A majority of aquarium pumps can be converted to vacuum pumps by rotating the valve assembly 180 degrees.Sir Bedevere: ...and that, my liege, is how we know the Earth to be banana shaped.

First you have to find your technique, rotate your routine, and then plan on it taking a while. Then you will find satisfaction.

You will have to put an adjustable valve inline with the pump and tube; oh and a gauge too. I have some pictures of the parts you will need to use in the "Pumping" group; maybe join?Sir Bedevere: ...and that, my liege, is how we know the Earth to be banana shaped.

Yes 11inHG is a bit high, I use a pump that pulls over 22inHG currently and use a brass valve to limit the vacuum pressure to 5inHG.Sir Bedevere: ...and that, my liege, is how we know the Earth to be banana shaped.

The dr bross pump maxes out at 3HG and that is ok. What I am going to do is use a T connection and have the pump running while connected to my harbor freight pump. This is how I tested the suction.
What I will do when I need more suction is use the hand pump while still connected. I am very disappointed with the suction, but after reading that I am to use low HGs for best results I am ok.
It looks gheto but it works well. Now I need a 2 x 9 cylinder that does not cost a fortune!PE is a lot like sex. First you have to find your technique, rotate your routine, and then plan on it taking a while. Then you will find satisfaction.
