Setup was quite easy, following this post even though some of the parts were slightly different. Filled it with fluids and let it run for 15 minutes without a load. Continued with another 5 minutes at 1800 psi. Filled my SCUBA tank from 2800 to 3500. Disconnected the tank and let run for an additional 5 minutes with no load. Worked great.Two things to note... the low pressure cylinder gets warmer than the high cylinder, which I found odd. The other is that I can't tell if the cooling water is circulating since I removed all the air from the cooling system. I dont see a flow indicator but I assume if it wasnt working, I would have had more heat.Ok guys...I've got to chime in here....almost every description that I read of the process of filling a bottle already containing some air , I notice an important omission...when filling, before opening the compressor valve, are you waiting until the unit gets equal or greater to the pressure already in the bottle?...or is every one skipping this step?

i'm really interested in this compressor i called air tanks 4 sale to ask for a quote on a package deal yesterday and was told i would have some prices mailed to me in 15 minutes but never got them. so today i mailed them with what i wanted to ask for quote still nothing. very discouraging.makes me wonder what kind of after the purchase service you'll receive if there was a problem especially sense i'm looking at spending $2500.00 to $3000.00
His email response is very slow. But he answers the phone call right away(owner) even after office hours. He has stated here in the other Gate that he doesn't monitor all of the Gates.

I applaud the early adopters as you pave the way for better future products and usually have to pay through the nose doing so...
Hi!Do you know who are the providers outside of USA?I'm very interested on buying this compressor..I was looking a very similar or equal on 1ct1c.com but I didn't find any review/comment about buying from that Webthanks
Thanks for the answer...the thing is...I'm living outside of USA that's why I'm needing another vendor
This is where I bought mine from: https://www.1ct1c.com/product/big-tank-filled-air-compressor-10l-12l/ After ordering, they sent me an email saying they only have 220 volt models, and would refund my money, if I didn't want that. I responded that 220 volt was OK. After about 1 week, I emailed asking when it would ship, and they responded to my email with a tracking link. Received it a few days later. Compressor is very nice, well made, and mine came with the optional water separator installed, and extra packs of silica and charcoal, along with some spare parts. Hardest part was filling with water/coolant. Mine came with no oil, so I'm using some 10-30 full synthitic motor oil, for the break in period, then I'll drain and fill with some Royal Purple compressor oil. However, there is no drain plug that I can find. Guess I'll have to siphon the old oil out the fill hole? I've been using a Yong Heng compressor, and have no complaints about it, other than very high rpm, and noise. This Carette is quiet, compared to Yong Heng, runs slower, and stays cooler. Only had for one day, so more to come, "IF" I have any problems
