Looks like that motor could handle a dozen more drums. You really didn't need to use the purple primer as there is no pressure.

I just like the smell of the primer ;D. I plan on hooking up 2 more barrels but they will be 8 inch pvc (if I can find some cheap ). the 1/4 hp was only 6 dollars less and didnt have a fan this 1/2 has a 2 year warrenty

Nice set up. Maybe look for a utilities crew doing some water line work. I believe that's 8" PVC they use. I would imagine they might have a short piece of scrap. The buzzkill is when you look for fittings. You'll spend a small fortune on those things.
