I am not sure what the psi rating are on those pumps specifically, but the
linear pistons that I have will pump a 6 inch airstone 10 ft. That is
amazing for these type of pumps. In a normal aquarium though, it is not the
psi that you need but the volume, of course.

I second that recommendation. The electricity saved vs. a blower will pay
for
the pump in a year or so, depending on your rates. They are quiet,
efficient,
simple, and reliable. They will not provide the pressure for very deep water
use, that is their only deficiency.
