Simple water aspirator setup

xgregg676 - 23-8-2024 at 02:05

I've seen a few water aspirator setups

I am wanting to construct my own using a Chapman water aspirator.

Id like it to have a vacuum gauge displaying pressure in mmHg,

Preferably an efficient pump to keep the water as cool as can be, and a way to turn it on slowly.

Not sure what fitments of pipe I'd need, or which pump would be best.

Looking for recommendations / information.

Thank you

There are a few threads on this forum about water aspirator setups. A search using the term aspirator should bring them up. Other than that, there is a lot of information about it on them there interwebs.

Another question I have is it more economical to build one or buy one.

VEVOR has a deal right now on the recirculation water vacuum aspirator for 100 bucks'

If the aspirator is for 'vacuum' filtration then I recommend a cheap mechanical pump.
Buy a couple, one for rough use and one spare.
