I wonder if you’re water valve might be the culprit? I bought the cheapest little plastic valve they had in the aquarium section at the pet store. I got a couple valves in the package for less than a couple bucks. Worth a try maybe. I only run one fluid bed so I use both outputs ran through a T splitter for the fluid bed. It shouldn’t make a difference but running both outputs into one bed should give you more air. Turns out to be the paper filter. Switched to a coffee filter and I have flow. Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OIR Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) im starting to make one myself out of a chopping board on spikes where I have drawn threads in the feet of the air pump so its stuck to the board and transmits vibration to the cup ( later I will try springs as feet) the air comes from the bottom center not from the side and i have laid a rounded cotton layer (It is just plain cotton not the pads you can get) under a filter the filter is pressed out of a vacuum cleaner bag (so it is 2 layers) the powder paint it expands good in the cup and got no valcano and the powder paint: cheap hand blender and bowl run the powder paint for 30 min. . the final one gets a JBL ProSilent air pump , I like the air pump regulator it got.
