Why don't you email the manufacturer before you go spending a bunch of money? It can do no harm. That luft pump puts a ton of air out... 2.3 cfm IIRC if you have the SL-65. Or do you have the smaller one? The SL-38 I think it is... Anyway, I wouldn't buy new pumps yet. And what happened anyway? I thought you had a big pump already?

um try it with out the lift pump.. don't need it with a beckett set up anyways they suck all the air they can use on there own. you might actualy be starving the becket of air
