I had one with a tank. I pumped it up before printing. No tubes, just a hose and air gun.

i've lived in 3 countries and 4 different states in america, each long enough to setup a darkroom. i hate to spot prints - i have been fortunate to have little to no problems with dust on negatives and prints - ever!!!
i hope i haven't jinx'ed myself now that i've written that - boy, i'd hate to have to go through some of the stuff people on this thread have resorted to... i have a camel hair brush for my negatives before i print them and vacuum my darkroom on an infrequent basis!!!
demon dust don't darken (lighten!) my door
I just saw my room in daylight (office where I scan for my digital prints) OMG! I can't believe I am breathing this crap in!
At least your city recognizes the problem

I remember when LA was so bad I wouldn't go there

Interesting, did not know about that. My house is a sealed house the way Pulte built it, but I still cannot believe the dust levels. I am thinking of putting hepa filters on all the outlets for the A/C unit/s (where the air comes out) I have them where you typically put them, but this is ridiculous. I may see how much room sized, Hepa/ionizers are and put the biggest one I can in each room. It's no wonder we all keep getting sick. This is as modern a house as they come. We barely open our doors and windows.
Who knows, probably junk.

Or perhaps this? A couple in my office, one in dark room, and a few around the house in general.

Check out consumer reports. They've done a comparison on these. If I remember rightly, the top one was from Blue Air. Perhaps, https://www.amazon.com/Blueair-205-P...79739536&psc=1

I had an IQAir stack filter sometime ago, $1000+, filters very expensive.
It worked well, but my daughter needed it more so I gave it to them.
My Chicago condo Leed Certified was so tight it was bad. I had to install leaks, a power exhaust and find intake air from the wall inside the bathroom. That made my darkroom possible.
Now i am happy in my very leaky 100 year old hardwood shack.
I lost my hacking cough 6 years ago. Breathe easy now. No more CPap.
