Hi all I have a compost tea brewer that calls for a 950 gallon per hour or 60 Litres per hour air pump.. At a glance, I can only really find this result:

https://www.amazon.com/VIVOSUN-Commercial-Aquarium-Hydroponic-Systems/dp/B06XDKRYC6

Yet it has a TON of negative commentary on it and people saying to buy something else. But what?

100$ more for this bad mofo
https://www.amazon.com/ALITA-INDUSTRIES-Air-Pump-LPM/dp/B006H61TU6/ref=sr_1_20?keywords=pond+air+pump&qid=1579632597&s=lawn-garden&sr=1-20

thats 40 Liters per minute though... which would land you at 2400 Liters per hour

oh they have a smaller one for 20$ less that is 15 LPM. that puts you at 900 liters per hour

I have 2 of these pumps. A 5 and a 3. They rock. Have the 5 rated at 1300gal/hr aerating my dugout and it doing a good job. Bath water is clear enough to see the bottom. Before I get in it.

I have two of these. They get a little warm but are surprisingly quiet if you hang them from a tent pole.
They sell them in various sizes, i believe i got mine from horticulturecource.
2nd edit.. im dumb I thought I read LPM.
