    Which compressor do you like best?

    Yes, my experience on here has been similar. Have been banned from a thread because I upset an Alkin owner with a negative comment about them, mostly due to my not owning one. Ridiculous, IMO. Why not let the post stand on its own merit, and allow each reader to judge based on their...

    Which compressor do you like best?

    Not adversarial at all, and it's a fair question. I consider the CS4/CS4-i at 29 lbs to be portable. The E5K2 at 106 lbs, not so much. Just my opinion, of course.

    TUXING 4500PSI PCP Air Compressor Review

    Well, my GX put 70 bar into my 9L tank in 16 minutes. (That's 3,400 to 4,500 psi) So pretty close. And I was able to watch TV while doing it. :cool:

    Which compressor do you like best?

    If you're on a budget or need portability, GX CS4 or CS4-i. If you have a few extra $$ to spend, and want a faster fill but without being portable, GX E5K2 FTW.

    What do you think of this khaki cylinder bag?

    Looks like a nice bag, but I don't need all the pockets. Went this this one on Amazon. Free shipping. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RT9XKNT

    New GX filter is coming out!

    I'm not sure I follow your logic.... The same can be said for pressurized air at 9 bar in a standard air compressor. What matters most is what your RH is. if you think a GX compressor is "trapping" all the water from the air it moves, you'd be wrong. Even if you're bleeding every 10 minutes...

    New GX filter is coming out!

    Ran my E5K2 with the GX filter the other day for about 16 minutes to top off my 9L SCBA from 240 bar to 310 bar. Bled a fair amount of moisture from BOTH the filter and the compresor at 11 minutes. My environment was about 90° F and about 58% RH. YMMV

    New GX filter is coming out!

    I plan to buy 13X color changing molecular sieve and cotton ends from Amazon when the time comes. MS can be regenerated, but takes a lot of heat to do so, so may just buy in bulk and discard.

    New GX filter is coming out!

    As others have mentioned, they serve only to perfectly align the outlet port with the rest of the filter. Without the pins, the threads still screw in, the o-rings still seal the filter, which is where 100% of the "work" is done. And once a bit of pressure is inside the filter housing, the top...

    Wiring for a TXED012 compressor

    I can't help with the where of the wiring, but if you take a pair of needle nosed pliers (or regular, if you don't have NNP) and gently squeeze each side of the circular portion of the terminal ends, they will fit snugly. Looking at the terminal end as if your eye were the spade going inside...

    New GX filter is coming out!

    I agree, it is a MUCH higher quality filter than the Tuxing or other varieties on Amazon. Pro tip for the pins... Take them out of the filter body, put a dab of nail polish on the end of the pin, and re-insert it into the filter housing. Give it 15-30 minutes to dry, and reassemble without...

    GX CS4i, hands down. Or a CS4, if you don't mind the external power supply.

    GX customer service how long to wait?

    They WILL reimburse you. Buy it from Amazon, and you won't be SOL, you can return it if it doesn't fix your problem. Also, have you tried disconnecting the heat probe on the cylinder head to see if it will continue to run? Have you taken your burst disc out and cleaned it up good?

    GX CS4 Pressure Problem

    I'm pretty sure there is nothing to rust inside the cylinder of a CS4/CS4i.

    Gx filter is here

    Thanks for sharing the pics, @JimD . Looks like a solid product. As to the bold part, I doubt you ever will. After using my CS4i to refill my 9L tank a few times, I have never seen any moisture inside my filter when I "burp" the compressor every 15 minutes or so on an hour-long run.
