Is this air pump any good?

[Roland Jacques]

i need to feed my nw skimmer air it allmost 7' tall. im changing it from a 1" mazzi jet venturi. To a GG wheel i think im going to need a air pump to over come the head. i need at least 40 scfh. and this ones way more than that.

has anyone used this brand?
