Looks like it should do the job at a very reasonable price:

They also have 50 ft of hose for $20. With a 10 ft length of "heater
hose" from Brownie and a low pressure scuba regulator, you'd have a
complete rig for a little over $300.



Quite a few people over here have bought an all plastic Australian
made rig - compressor, header tank, hoses and regulator, all in a
fitted case, for a thousand dollars, U.S. Others have built their own
from an aquarium air pump, local hardware house plastic hose and a
scrap SCUBA regulator.

It appears that they both give about the same service for cleaning the
bottom, etc. :-)
