eBay compressor

[BountyHunter1976]

kzz1kaw, which one did you buy, the tuxing or one like mine?? As far as shipping, it will be inside styrofoam in a cardboard box that is packaged inside a little wood crate. Although the wood is about maybe 1/4" or less, that is how they ship. One end of my box was partially opened when fedex delivered it. I believe customs probably did that trying to get a peek. Some people have reported damage to theirs, but don't know if same as the Ace Eagle or one of the others and by a different seller.
My M10 is supposed to be delivered tomorrow, so there is a small item to put air into...

See what buying that pump made me do, it made me have to buy another rifle to put air into!

The one I bought is called yong heng air pump blue color from Darren trade. Looks like the one on fleabay. There are so many of this style compressors with different names color. Is yours pictured like the one I originally posted same color?

[kzz1kaw]

I looked at my first post and what do you know it is the same compressor about 100💵 Cheaper buying thru AliExpress.  Don't know if is the same vendor. 100 💵 Is 100💵. Just means I can spend the money on airgun related stuff maybe another pcp? Lol this hobby is addicting once you go over to the darkside😳😎. Btw did your compressor come with spare parts seals, o-ring etc?

[BountyHunter1976]

Yes mine came with spare seals, filters, and a test plug. I can't say what all is in the bag but a good handfull of parts. Here is the exact one I got. Just copy it and paste in your browser. All except the first little 4 characters....I can't post a link yet, but I posted a picture on my 3rd or 4th post...lol

I copy an paste. Same compressor except yours has gold anodized pump and 220 volt and the one I ordered is silver 110 volt

[kzz1kaw]

Bh1976 you said pump came with spares. What is a test plug? Is the water pump a submersible type or not? I'm hoping that the 110 volt pump includes a 110 volt water pump and not a 220 volt pump?

[BountyHunter1976]

If you ordered a 120v compressor, I'm pretty sure you will get 120v water pump. And yes it is submersible that goes into the bottom of your water container. I went to wal mart and bought a 5 gallon bucket with a lid to use. The plug I am talking about is the little plug you can put in the end of the high pressure fill line to test run the compressor and make sure it builds up pressure. It's a little shrader  plug. If you scroll down on the page of the one I bought, you will see all the parts it came with.

[kzz1kaw]

Roger that on the test plug. Last year had to replace my 5 hp pressure washer pump rated a 3000 psi that instruction said to use 30 wt non detergent oil? I'm going to try that for the oil and for the coolant there is a product that you can buy at the auto parts store purple/ violet color additive that you add to the coolant. My omega super charger if I remember correctly I had to add purified water or a bottle of drinking water with the included coolant. Don't remember about the oil don't have the manual to look it up. Maybe some of the members on this site can chime in if you own a omega super charger.   Never did understand what the difference is between 110/120 volt thing😳

[avator]

Me either... they both hurt like *&%$ if you put your tongue on them.

[BountyHunter1976]

Never did understand what the difference is between 110/120 volt thing😳

In the U.S. the line voltages are 120 volts now, not 110v. And we have 240 volt and not 220v. I don't know exactly when or why but it did change.
I may see if I can find a higher flow rate water pump to make sure it stays as cool as possible. But of course it would be in 120 volt. I only chose to use the 240 volt because I had already run a line in my room here for some other electronics and had read that it is easier on the pump motor for not drawing as many amps.

[kzz1kaw]

From what I have seen on these compressors base on pics only and description  that if the compressor gets too hot that it shuts off and it has a temp gauge by the on switch.  I see pa has the hill pump for 289 shipped. Hmmm  hill pump or add a little more cash and take a chance? Ahh I'll take the compressor 😎

[BountyHunter1976]

There is a lot of talk on some of the forums that the G6 pump is better than the Hill pump. But I have an Airforce pump already that I bought with my condor. Talk about a while pumping up the 490cc bottle. Getting to 2k is not so bad, but 3k had to had a little leverage help. Since my health went south and the last surgery I had, I don't have enough weight to make the pump go to 3k. That's one of the reasons for the little electric pump. I know I won't be using it much, so I'm hopeful that it will work ok for me. I did hear one guy had his going to 60C and shutting down. Don't know if he found out the trouble or not. I figure when I go to air up the tank or bottle on the rifle, I will throw in a package of Blue Ice or two to chill the water down and make nice and cold. May even pick up an extra block of Blue Ice since it won't hurt to have spares.

The audience and I are waiting for your review

[avator]

Here's what I'm thinking....
This thread has answered some questions and raised some questions. Ultimately questions may still remain that can only be answered here by speculation. BountyHunter has done a great job at answering what he can from his experience. I think the most important information he has given us so far is:

Quote:  Joan, the one replying to me from CHON Electronic where I purchased the pump was good about replying back to me each time I sent a message with a question, although sometimes had to re-clarify what I was wanting to know I had no problems. For the price if all goes well, I saved enough cash to be able to get the other items I want, err, need...
End Quote:

A well placed message should clear up any grey areas. I am doing some decision making and comparison shopping myself. My biggest issue here in the deep south is humidity. I think I can all but eliminate that issue by keeping the compressor inside the house in the controlled climate. That negates the option for a booster type compressor. I don't want 2 compressors running in my house. I would like to explore ways to have pressure controlled start up and shut off. A small reservoir air tank. Kick on at 2500 and kick off at 3000. You know.... connect my gun to the reservoir, fill up and walk away. Master shut off when I'm not at home or shooting airguns. Fire it up 30 minutes to an hour before shooting sessions. Seems like a small ninja tank would be plenty. Keep the larger tank filled and at the ready for away games.

[avator]

I should have clarified the 2500 low side..... I don't plan on filling my gun to 3k. I may wish to bump that low side up to 2600 - 2700psi and the high side up to tank capacity.

And out of curiosity I sent her a note just a few ago asking if it would be ok to maybe add a desiccant filter to the input of the compressor. I have a couple I bought a while back at harbor freight that I can connect to the input where it just has that little brass filter. If it does not put too much strain trying to draw air through it might really cut down on the water that the pump has to let out. If things were really bad with humidity I'll just turn on one of my portable dehumidifiers that I have setting in a storage room. Hmm, to bad I can feed the air coming out of it directly to the pump...lol
I did a few more test runs with the plug in the line and it does heat up fairly quick, so I will probably go ahead and find a higher flow rate water pump. On amazon they have all different flow rates and pretty cheap too. Now to figure out what the flow rate is on this one that came with it and increase it by at least 50% or more. I do not want it to get hot.
And thanks for all the compliments. I will keep all I can find out posted. The more info the better.

600 l/h is the pump flow

The test is with the test plug in place? Have you tried filling a tank / gun ? I believe the test plug you are referring to is a plug to keep dirt out of the quick connect. I'm thinking the reason it is heating up fairly quick is the test plug on the quick disconnect? This is just my spectulation of course. Try it without the test plug and try filling a tank or airgun and see if it heats up?
Btw... I like your avatar 👍

[BountyHunter1976]

Will get to fill a small tank tomorrow on my new Mrodair M10 when it gets here. It is a 250cc cylinder and fills to 2900psi.  And they explain in their videos that it is a test plug and show using it in the vid to check to compressor as they put the plug in and run it up to 5500psi. I guess you could leave it in to keep particles out also, but it is a test plug. Been looking at other pumps and found on ebay also. The 600 l/h is 160gph and the next step up is 290gph and on ebay is $13.75 and free ship. Then a 500gph for $16.95 shipped free, both same seller. There is other on amazon in different sizes for just a little higher. All these are 120 volt and I would have to watch and not plug into my 240 volt power strip or POOF!

[kzz1kaw]

Found these same compressors on you tube




Don't understand what they are saying but at least you can see this compressor working. I am going to add ice in my bucket along with a clip on fan blowing on the cylinder head to help keep it cool. Heat is a killer on the compressor just my 2 cents. Draw your conclusions from the video. I'm in😎

I've had my eye on this one: http://mylondair.com/product/html/?106.html]http://mylondair.com/product/html/?106.html
I'm not sure about the price yet but they claim it will fill a 6.8L bottle. For now, I only plan to fill my AT44 directly but may buy a SCBA tank in the future.
