how is my air compressor performing?

Hi all, 

I guess to me it seems like this chart is doing faster then my compressor. doing the calculations it should be taking approx 45 seconds to fill my GUPPY from 4000 to 4500.

filling it takes approx 1:45 minutes from 3000 to 4500PSI. 

I think it's normal.

Looks normal to me. it takes a lot of work going from 4000 to 4500 psi. My AV moves at about the same rate

ok, I guess that makes sense that it would slow down around 4000 then, it really moved fast from 3200 to 4000.

thanks,

That extra screaming bloody hell murder stress from 4000 to 4500 is your compressor killer there. That's where many fail as noted lately. I would only fill to 4000psi max since the compressor has way less stress and wear Filling more often to 4000psi than less times going all the way to 4500psi. It's like red lining your car all the time just to see what eventually happens...

I would do it if I had a 4 year Wal-mart extended warranty though... Probably...

Disregard If yours is NOT CHINESE MADE but NOT the $2000 Daystate 110(MCH3)....

This is a bauer Junior 2, It sounds normal, so I'll assume it is normal.
