I need an electric vacuum pump for a non automotive related project. Does anyone have this one? http://www.harborfreight.com/automotive-motorcycle/refrigeration/25-cfm-vacuum-pump-98076.html

If so how loud is it?

As an aside anyone know how I could plumb in a vacuum tank on an automatic switch? Kinda like a compressor with tank, only in reverse? (Yes, I know vacuum is only lower pressure)

Wiring in a vacuum switch is easy. The problem you might have is finding a valve that will open under vacuum. I built some vacuum tables for composite layup, and in the end switched over to manual valves.

Initially I will just use a foot operated electric switch to turn on the pump when needed.
