I had purchased the tuxing big compressor a few months ago and noticed that I was having a water flow problem. Looking at videos of others using their compressors it looked to be similar to mine. I inspected the inlet and Outlet of the water hoses to the heads and saw that the 90° fittings were threaded in too far and ended up removing over 1/4" of brass to increase flow. It almost doubled in flow. I don't know if this would be worth looking into on the Yong heng.

I have the dual cylinder and even after getting a larger pump the flow didn't increase much at all. Maybe I have a clearance issue.
I have had my Xin Yong Shi compressor for a while now, and the temps were higher than I want them to be (75-80C).It looks like many members here uses ice to cool down the cooling water in order to decrease the temps, but this is not the most economical solution and IMO, quite a hassle.I was thinking instead of changing the ∆t in the q=mc∆t equation, I can simply pump more water though with a beefier pump and get the same result. However, I haven't had any luck finding a 220v water pump with the right fitting and plug. Would be extremely helpful if anyone here who've attempted this can chime in and give some advice.Thanks.

Surely you have 120V available. Even if you bought a Euro/Asian version 220V compressor, the water pump would not have to be. Go to your local pet store and in the Fish section and You should be able to find a variety of pumps to suite your needs. Look at a "Powerhead" they are used on under-gravel filters. I have several but prefer a "Maxi-Jet". they are small, magnetic (cool) motor, easy to clean if needed, I am sure the outlet is the size you need to push the hose for your YH onto with no adapters. They come in a variety of output. Ranging from 400 ltr/hr (head height of 24") up to the 1200 ltr/hr (head of 60"). Also if you DO require 220V try here...https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR3.TRC1.A0.H0.Xaquarium+powerhead.TRS0&_nkw=aquarium+powerhead&_sacat=0 because there are fish keepers in UK / Europe too.
