Wanted to start a separate thread for the EL11 people thinking of going with the microlevel controller.
I happen to think it's a great system(for whatever that's worth), and am planning to get one.

But with my EL11 system with 2 separate air compressors and no air storage tank, that a upgrade on the pumps would make sense. After all they are 40 years old, and the solenoids leak. And I don't want to spend the money to rebuild them. I have been trying to figure out the best air source for the Microlevel and only 2 come to mind.

The 1st, and possibly the easiest, would to get a single Viair 150 psi pump with a stainless air storage tank. Tried and true.......
The second option would be to get 2 Viair 150 psi pumps without using a storage tank. Sorta like the EL11 system but newer and no solenoids.
I happen to like the 150psi pumps because if they decide to go nuclear on their own the bags should handle it.

Any additions, suggestions, opinions?

Scott.
