SUMMARY
The discussion centers on optimizing the cycling speed of a venturi pump using a solenoid valve. The user requires a valve capable of cycling approximately 7 times per second to generate short, sharp bursts of air. Recommendations for faster valve types or regulators are sought to enhance performance. The focus is on achieving rapid on/off cycling to improve the efficiency of the venturi pump operation.
