I'm perfectly happy with my big box 3 gallon pancake compressor to power my air pump pushing through the 5" filter press. Yes, Haynes has a point--noise. But even he puts his "quiet" compressor in a different room. I do the same--compressor in the basement, hose runs up the stairs to the kitchen. Nice setup.
