Would this work for filling a 10 gallon 150PSI air tank? What is involved in adapting this for permanent installation?

This compressor would not be a good choice for permanent installation, it would overheat when subjected to that kind of requirement. If you're looking to permanently mount an air compressor, Viair makes ones designed for that duty.

Yup. But the air pump needs to be pretty strong. I'd say no less than 20 gallon tank strength and I'd guess 40 gallon tank rated air pump is pretty much the strength, though not sure how high you need to go.

Yes it will work. I use it on multiple 10 gallon tanks when i acquire new fish to minimize disease exposure.

In short, yes you can do what you explain without any added pumps. Best thing for doing what you desire is to upgrade to a larger storage tank. This will allow you to run multiple lines without stress on the system for your demands. But as an example, with the standard 3gal tank, I have no problem with lines running over 10' above the tank and still have good pressure. Just doesn't last long with the small tank. Remember, this system makes a decent amount of waste water, so don't expect 10gal to go in and 10gal to come out. If you plan on using it throughout your house, the cost and water consumption will surprise you.

Yes, it would work but the strength of the pump would be alittle too much on your small tank......the regulator on the exhaust of the pump included in the package would be a necessity in your case or you will have some serious current/wave action going on in your tank.....

I believe you'll need to get "disposable tank regulators" as opposed to the large dual guage regulators you would use for a full size. eitherway, it has to have a regulator, or gas will release at tank pressure. talk about a bad day.

It will work, but unfortunately my experience with these permeate pumps is that they did not last very long. (I went through 3 pumps in 2 years) I am now increasing the water pressure to the RO unit using an electrically driven pump from Bulk Reef Supply. This unit delivers more pressure to my fridge icemaker which is one floor above the RO unit. It is still working great after 10 months.

Sara - I seriously doubt that this filter would work for your particular application as it works on a "siphoning" principal which would mean that the intake tube would have to be submerged at all times allowing no air whatsoever to impede the flow of water. Additionally, the filtering unit must sit lower than the tank to work properly.

I use mine on a five gallon tank and think it would work equally well for 10 gallons... I would not go smaller.

I don't know. You are probably better off getting 2 or 3 smaller ones and connecting with tees. The 10 gal satsified our volume needs, but does not have the pressure of the smaller ones for some reason.

Yes it will fit on a standard 10 gallon, however it has a fairly strong rate of flow and may have troubles on such a small aquarium.

There are charts to look at. My read says a size 2 at 1.3 gal per min will give 1500 psi. Look for yourself. The 3 will work but give a lower pressure.

It will work just fine. Place in the tank where you want it, place gravel/rocks around it. Hook it up to an air pump and plug into an electrical outlet. Done!

I found it on the Lotos web site in the manual. The CFM requirement is only 3.8. @ 66 PSI. A small compressor should do the job. Tank size will not matter if you have at least these specs.

It would work but I wouldn't recommend it. This is more like a one tire emergency filler. It takes a long time to fill tires with this. I would recommend a real air compressor with a tank for your needs.

Ditto on what Adam said. I use this on my 50 gallon reef and it does a great job, but flows quickly so be prepared. Honestly, I think this would be overkill on a 10 gallon...you may not have time to effectively vacuum due to the high flow rate. On a side note, the hose isn't the greatest quality and tends to kink if you don't pay attention.

I believe that it should work. I am using it on a 2.2 gallon per minute 2700 psi machine and it seems to "over perform" so I would try on your machine.
