This is my rig here. Hopefully it will work as I'm just getting used to navigating this forum.

Welcome Veronica...
That should do it... Make sure your water pump is on the bottom of the bucket and your return hose stays at the top. Some folks have complained about those water pumps failing, keep an eye on it.

Yeah, thanks to the great advise on this forum I did get that right. Also I'm looking at getting one of those indicator impellers to put on my water line as extra assurance in case the water pump does fail. Right now I'm running the return hose to the top of the bucket so that I know it's flowing. I'm not running it too long yet. Just topping off my guns as needed.

Looks good to me 👍🏾

As for the impeller indicators.... I'm gonna go a different route here. I'm going to use food coloring in my water. That way I can see the water moving in the return hose at a glance without staring at the indicator. Hopefully it won't dye my hose too quickly.

Fedex just notified me I have a 47.62lb package expected to be delivered Tuesday(ish).... I am getting slightly more confident that this seller is legit and his 10 day delivery guarantee is pretty much spot on.

I see this one from ebay seller ashleytrade1984(17746)
high positive feedback and has the newer unit with cyclone water removal and adjustable switchoff pressure

anybody bought from this seller ?

or can others advise which are known sellers and not bracelets/coins ?

[imadunatic]

I would definitely trust that seller, they're not going to up and disappear like the other scammers with a 17k+ 99% feedback. Pretty good price also, that is the lowest I've seen on the Auto stop 110v (by about $10 I think).

[lennyk]

Yes I think so, will prob order from them.
Do these pumps have a thermal cutoff safety ?
It should not be hard to install one if not.

[Richard Lee]

"thermal cutoff safety ?"
I don't think so. The 120vac version doesn't have one that I can see.

One thing that might help mechanically, is a layer of firm shipping foam under the foot-pads of the compressor.
On my setup, it cut down on the noise and vibration from the table it sits on.

LOL.... I put a Dale Earnhardt Sr. stadium seat cushion under my AirMax MKII. Made a HUGE difference.

P.S. Didn't make it run any faster.

Definitely the best price I've seen on eBay, especially if they are willing to take an offer it'll be cheaper than aliexpress as well for the top model Yong heng. Here is the best price I've seen on aliexpress for that adjustable one:
110V Adjustable Auto-Stop 4500PSI 300Bar 30MPA Electrical High Pressure Air Compressor Inflator PCP Rifle Airgun Scuba  Air Pump

dangit, ya'll get 110 volt WITH auto shutoff for less than what earlier adopters paid.  Lucky!

[Richard Lee]

"auto shutoff".. Is that like driving one of those new driver-less cars? You can take a nap while filling your tank? 
Sounds like Trusting the IRS.. 

[Bizill]

Agreed.  But if I were to have a stroke or baby-momma wanna pull me into the bedroom then I'll at least have one fail-safe working for me.  Ah, who am I kidding, I'd be done before my Yong Heng fills up my Prod.      No need for auto shutoff.

I don't see anything in the description of the eBay auction lennyk posted that says that compressor has the Auto-Stop/Shutoff feature - am I missing something? Also, besides the Seller offering a 60 day money back guarantee, do these Yong Heng compressors have any stated/implied warranty from the manufacturer, Yong Heng?

[WesBob]

Geez you are right. The picture is of the adjustable model but the description doesn't say it is. Anyone buying better confirm the picture is accurate. It does give the fill rate as 50l/min so it's at least the hardback model. Be rotten trick though if it's not the adjustable version

[Bob Pratl]

When I purchased mine two months ago I originally ordered the 220 model because the add stated that it had an Auto shutoff so I emailed the supplier to explain how it was adjusted. I was told that it was an AUTO shutoff when it reached 4500 PSI but was not adjustable for different set points so I ordered the 110 volt model which has neither. It's so fast that I don't mind babysitting it.  Bob

I think I remember seeing that you could order them set to shut off at your desired pressure.

[WesBob]

Yeah it depends on the model. The top model has adjustable pressure. The next one down shuts off at 4300psi and the next one doesn't have that option but still has the water/oil separator and fast filling, and the cheapest model is slower and doesn't have theoil/water separator apparently.
Here is a picture of the different models.
