Yep, when the LEDs arrive I'm going to flush the system with some white vinegar and then fresh distilled water to ensure all the "crap" is out of the system!

I'm thinking another good flush should do the trick. There was probably still some debris in the system after the first flush that finally was dislodged. It's a closed system, so once all the crap is removed, it's not likely to have new crap introduced to the system like a fuel system that has fuel added on a regular basis.

Nice. I like to go overboard on things like that. Even though I sit at my compressor as it fills, watching a pressure gauge for the moment to stop (no auto shutoff on my compressor) it would be cool if that flow indicator had a way of visually, like an LED or audibly indicated a stoppage. Either way, I like it. Somebody probably makes one.
When I had an Omega Aircharger I always looked into the reservoir tank two or three times per session to see the water return line flowing coolant back into the reservoir. I don’t recall if it had a thermal cut off in the event of over heating.
I have some fiberoptic sensors that could be rigged on something like that to beep like a heartbeat that could let you know it’s rotating.

I don’t have a need for one of those but it’s inexpensive and just too cool to go on living without one.
Edit: Here’s an inline version.

It would be cool if someone made a replacement cap for the water tank with one of these built in! I wouldn't think it would be too hard since the return line is at the top of the tank.

It's not "crud". It's just bubbles in the line, easy to dislodge by powering off and on a couple of times.

Yes sir! A common thing with these compressors if you lay it on its side and the water level isn't topped up completely; it introduces air into the line going to the pump. It's a very weak pump, and cannot draw water quickly enough to overcome said bubble. But easy to resolve via a stick or cycling the pump.
