My electric pump will fill system < 5 min completely empty. It takes about
30 sec to 1 min to refill once the pressure drops to the level where the
pump starts when cycling the doors.

Is there anyone out there who does NOT have an air leak somewhere in
their
door system.  Or more to the point, how long can one reasonably expect
the
air reservoir to maintain enough pressure to open the doors after sitting
a while ?  1 day (my typical experience) ?  1 week ?  Forever (yeah,
right...)?

How effective is the auxillary electric air pump offered by Terry Tanner ?
It seems that the normal mechanical air pump takes quite a while to fully
recharge the system after it is empty.
