Hi Excess0_1
Again I will say the Harbor Freight one is first class. That is the pump I use. I can’t speak to the ones that just “look like it” and I certainly won’t rec them.
From what I understand the mityvac brand Is really good too if you can’t get the Harbor Freight one (folks outside the US). If in recall correctly, Boston Pump sells that the Mityvac brand, which is also available at autoparts stores. Here is an eBay link for $52.26. Harbor Freight has it for 40 something.
Mityvac MV-8000
I will reiterate I have zero experience with the LeLuv cylinders, my cylinders are from Boston Pump, Vacutech, and rebranded ones manufactured by LaPump. However thunder’s vets I trust have said good things about the quality on LeLuv cylinders. I have purchased a couple of their hoses w male connectors so I do know the company is legit.
The beauty of the system I have presented is this:
- you can start with airpumping, and ‘upgrade’ to water pumping down the line without making any additional investments
- if you choose to upgrade to a thick-wall and/or elliptical cylinders down the line like I have, you still have a great pump to work with.
