Ok,Camp Fussell,this friend in Ohio now has a MAJOR complaint.The Extreme Big Bore Booster Pump is being sold.As of today,they told me my warranty is dead as they cannot access parts for it ,and Texas Machine Parts told me in a nice way to go get ****ed as far as a parts diagram .They told me it would be like McDonalds taking the recipe for the Big Mac to the grave with them when they go out of business.So,I have a nice booster pump right now that works flawlessly,but the day will come when it needs serviced.I’ve learned a very valuable lesson as far as buying from a sketchy company with limited history.The writing was on the wall with tjhe Extreme Booster Pump.The history of the you tube videos of this pump shows the company changing hands several times in about 6 years.So,I guess I enjoy my booster until it fails,and then at that point try to find a high pressure engineer or mechanic that can get er’ going again.One question I ask myself today,is if I would have known there would be no warranty or support for this item two years after I bought it,and knowing that it functioned as described for the time being,would I still have gone through with the purchase? I honestly don’t know the answer to that question ,but I suspect I would not have done it.The fact is,right now the pump works flawlesslyand theres no electronics to it,so how hard could it be to maintain? Hell,I have seen photos of units that JoE Blow built that were fully electronic solenoids controlling all the valves. Altaros might be a good option.They seem to have a stable history,but hell appear to be in a foreign country.As for the AArytek pump you bought Jimmy,I seem to be able to find no information there with regards to that company other than they say to contact Maddog stocks.I look at Maddog stocks website and see no mention of a warranty, and these pumps now seem to be back ordered and ghosted ,just like the Extreme Booster Pump was 18 montjs prior to going up for sale.I’m thinking personally about saying **** the booster altogether and just using 6k Nitrogen like I was before I bought the booster.One of those cylinders still lasts me years with no booster at allI've been using the Ayrtekk Booster since the first of the year to help my nitrogen fills last me a little longer. So far so good. My Nitrogen tank is down to 2000 psi now. That's the lowest it's ever been since I've been using Nitrogen as I usually get a fresh tank when it gets close to 3000 psi in years past. Gonna see how close to 1000 psi I can get before I return this one for a fresh tank.
I have learned to use and air compressor on the low pressure side to make my nitrogen go even further. When I use the two SCBA tanks the low pressure side seems to run out as fast or faster than the high pressure side, which was my reasoning for using the shop compressor on the low side recently/
I have a friend in Ohio and he bought the Extreme Booster about the same time I bought the Ayrtekk. He's been using nitrogen for some time like me and he bought a nice shop compressor to use on the low side to make his nitrogen go further as well. He has no complaints.
I guess our only complaints are we wish we had done this sooner? LOL Gotta make those nitrogen fills go as far as they can go. I'm shooting more powerful guns that use more air now days and it really helps.
