I’m just assemblling my system and came across this method. Does anyone use this method of air over water to fill the tank? Does it work well? where would I get the tank?
Love the forum.

I believe I have heard of someone doing that. The beauty of the small pump is that the intake can be held up from the bottom and the sludge/sediment stays in the bottom so the fluid is reasonably clear that they are pumping.
It is possible you could achieve a similar situation but I wonder if there might be more agitation of the fluid and lower layer. I am just thinking out loud. I have no dog in the hunt.

Here is another example from @Bigdaddy2166 There are several on the forum that have done it with various tanks
Oops I think you were asking about using compressed air… regardless bigdaddys setup is worth looking at!
I used a 25 gal alum fuel tank. Modified it with 120 v diaphragm pump. Turn the three way valve and you can fill it or empty the pan.
