I haven't worked out the finer details yet but given the small orifice on the Waterite hose barb, I cannot imagine that it would need a lot of CFMs. The micronizer would still have to suck just as before, just that the upper range of pressure/flow would be raised.Any thought to the compressor capacity required to make this strategy viable?
If I could find a small quiet running compressor, I would consider slaving it to the pump power so that it runs and stops when the pump does. That way, I could go tankless without a regulator. If I use a conventional air compressor with a pressure switch, I would dial in the regulator for the desired pressure since my compressor shuts off at 100 PSI.
Even if I were to inject ten times as much air as the micronizer would suck on its own, the air volume control on the precipitation tank will just vent it off. If the tank didn't get purged, the oxygen level would reduce while the rising CO2 and H2S levels make up the bulk of the air. I figure the CO2 and whatever H2S collects in the tank should be purged. I have my tank vented to the sump pit which in turn is power vented to the outside.
