Seems he is selling a bare bones unit for $1399 plus shipping, not the one Guy tested.
I am very interested in one. But until I can make sure I know what the base unit ($1400) includes as far as moister removal and MPV and such, I will continue to use what I have.Maybe someone that has purchased a base unit from Joe will chime in on what they actually got.His site is extremely confusing and all over the place. Talking to him, I was told I will need the $300 adder to get a moister removal filter plus a couple of other items and that the description on his site was (not accurate).Maybe Joe B can clarify all this.

Yeah, I know JoeB is gonna come in and wail on me, but to save $400 on the same item is to save $400, straight up. I'd love to buy from Mr. Joe, but money is money and I might even go the cheap route with the $65 HP filter being linked on AliExpress. Sure, it may blow up and kill me dead, but so possibly could Joe's Carette, if they are in fact the same item.Looking on Joe's site with all the fixin's including a Great White and his Alpha filter puts me up around $2,500 plus. His site is somewhat hard to figure the deals. No, I'm not a moron, but it does take some thinking to get a final price with the various packages. I would definitely trust buying from Joe, though, but I'm not made of money and if I can save a buck or two by shopping around, I will.

Also, the current shipments of compressors arriving at JB's do NOT have the Carette filter with them. That was supplied by the manufacturer just for the early birds.
Don't use regular motor oil or synthetic motor oil. You need high pressure air compressor oil like https://www.augustindustries.com/shopexd.asp?id=613&bc=noor the Coltri equivalent.The high pressure compressor oil is formulated to resist detonation at the high pressure/temperature of a high pressure compressor. Motor oils are not suitable for this application.===== Tank Filling procedure...roper filling is to start with the tank main valve and tank fill whip bleed valve closed.Close the bleed at the top of the PMV, but open the manual drain at the water/oil separator.Set the auto shutoff pressure to 4500.Start the compressor. Because the drain valve is open, it will see no load. Let it warm up for about 10-15 seconds to distribute its oil before it gets loaded.Close the drain valve. The pressure will steadily rise in the compressor. You should see the Carette gauge gradually rise. At the point the PMV opens, you will notice the rate of pressure rise drop for a moment. That's probably around 2200 PSI. Let the pressure continue to build to approximately equal to your tank pressure. Gradually open the tank valve to full opening. This lets compressed air enter the tank. The timing of opening the tank when the compressor reaches tank pressure is to avoid suddenly loading the compressor with full tank pressure.Don't keep the compressor running too long without a path for air to exit. You don't want to over pressure the compressor. The auto shut off should kick in before something goes awry, but it is best to keep an eye on things until you know all is functioning well. On my first run, I intentionally set the auto shutoff low so I could verify its function.During tank filling, the Carette pressure gauge should read pretty close to what your tank gauge reads. If they are grossly mismatched, something is impeding flow and/or you have a leak at the fill whip bleed. If the gauges are way off match, stop the compressor and troubleshoot before continuing.You will see the pressure in the compressor rise as the tank fills.Let the Carette auto drain fire every 10 minutes for about 2-3 seconds. You can also manually drain the separator, but the auto drain should do the work for you.Once the tank reaches fill target pressure (4500 PSI), turn off the compressor. Close the tank main valve. Open the manual drain valve and bleed valve at the top of the PMV.Turn on the Carette and let it run for 3-4 minutes without a load to clear out its cylinders of any residual moisture.Turn off Carette and close the drain and PMV drain.Open your tank bleed valve to ensure the hose is depressurized. Disconnect tank
