i was looking at making an airoponic system on the cheap, but the pumps seem to be expensive, but i remembered looking at water injection for a car,
so here is a link to a site looking into a cheap high pressure pump,

and

also here is a link to a site that sells this type of pump for $45us and up
http://cerinicoffee.com/ulka_pump_115.asp
as im sure you know these systems sell for around $1000us and upwards,
maybe an even better system would be to use a Rotory Vane Pump and a motor to run it
those pumps are around $50us an up and are rated at 75 gallons per hour and even higher!
avaliable on ebay
or a procon pump which is also available on ebay from about $50us not bad eh?
so what do you think?
 
Very cool. Definitely has my interest peaked. You going to give it a go?
 
im really thinking about it now alright,
wouldnt be too hard to do either,
might want to get decent water lines though,
it should be quite enough as well
i was looking at a procon pump and a 1/3 hp single phase motor for around $135,second hand but the motors are reliable and procon has great reputation,
get some good lines and high pressure nossels,
id say you could do it for less then $200 thats a huge saving!
 
I'd say, you should document the build if you do it, maybe put up a DIY article. Good find man.
