Cheapest spd pump

Do A LOT amd i mean a lot of reading. @Cryo13 @Killa12345 @Killavolt, myself, and a few others have also posted threads, videos and pics of our setups. I suggest reading, and getting the vac parts like we have.

For a 5l you should probably get an edwards e2m30 / e2m28 or comparable pump, however in a pinch one could probably get away with using thatā€¦
I completely agree with @Demontrich

JB built HVAC pump will kill it, $400-600 and youre good. the eliminator model works, but I havent ran into a model that doesnt work. Hit typically sits around 50 micron main body unless you strap two together.

Plus theyre typically available in stores around the US

Yes. I have one on a summit 5l kit

And I also use it to pull vac on my cls system. I can get my giant 12" collection down under 20 micron. And that ish is way bigger than a 5L spd.

Would this work?

Iā€™m gonna try this idea when I get around to it. Safely wiring it wasnā€™t really a specialty of mine and it burned out.

I got my 0.9 cu ft AI acuutemp from 0 to -30 in 5 seconds. It was a wet dream and I urge people to try it out but SERIOUSLY WIRE IT CORRECTLY

Would work a 1000ml , slight maybe a 2000

No thats only good for rotovapes. U want something heavier/bigger than that for spd.
If its new and below $500, Its probablt not gonna work well. u want the pumps that are $2k+ new. Obviously buy them used if u can. I just scored a edwards e2m28 ($4k new) for $800 off ebay and was $40 short on another bid on a e2m30 that went for $900

Alcatel 2021i is your beat bang for your $$$. But a rebuilt used will run ya 1600+. Used ebay challenge pumps can be found for 300-500.

Rotary vane vacuum pumps may be a good spin

This is literally a pile of shit

Which one?

Anything like the kdlab stuff.

When you spend money on a pump you should expect to perform 5-10 rebuilds on it.

Why buy pumps destined to the dumpster when they need servicing.

Have you used any of the kdlab pumps? How do they compare against an Alcatel2021i?
