I am wanting to build a vacuum system, and am a little confused on which pumps are okay to use.
It looks like rotary vane pumps work, and I have also seen diaphragm pumps used. Would a piston/rocking piston pump work just as well?
Also, does the horse power really mater? It seems to me that as long as you can pull a certain amount of vacuum, the horse power shouldn't really matter too much. Is there anything that I am missing with this?
Please let me know. Thanks,
Matt
