Just ordered the Omega Air Charger
- Thread starter orion
- Start date
Orion do you close the tank when you bleed the air after 10 minutes or do you just crack the valve to see if anything comes out ? I know you bring the pressure up to your tank pressure then open the valve so as not to put a strain on the compressor i have a shoe box F10 and thats how i do it but this bleeding stuff is new to me.

Just open the bleed valve slightly and fast while is pumping and this will release the water in the system, so far no water comes out with the filterI built for the intake, let me see if I can find a picture.
I'm filling the tank using the stickman from air tank plus and it's very straightforward, I just plug the hose I normally use to fill the gun, open the tank, pressure goes up in the hose, then connect the compressor hose to the other fill port on the stickman and fire the compressor, when the compressor pressure is higher than the pressure in the tank the tank will start receiving air, very simple.

Orion I wondered if the vibration from the water pump being on would cause it to register time that’s why I hard wired mine to the motor

No, this one also have two settings for detecting vibration, I have mine in low and just the compressor will trigger the timer, the water pump doesn't trigger it.

Sounds good. I was wondering about a fill tank instead of the pump..how much do the tanks go for,about? Once they're empty,how do yu refill them?
Also,just in case you can help,I posted my new member intro and now the site won't let me create new topics or post.do you have any idea why not? Did I do something wrong?
Thank you,
Kevin

I love this air charger i have approx 65 hours on my shoebox F10 but this thing is 4 times as fast if it gives me the same stability as my shoebox it will definitely be a worthwhile investment

So far very happy with the compressor. Fill the tank from 200 to 300 bar really fast less than 20 mins.
The other day a friend brought an empty tank, a 75 cf one. One hour run put the tank from zero to 200 bars, I stop it because I was busy doing something else and I like to keep and eye on it while running.
This was a great test for my filter. One hour of running without bleeding at all, at the end of the run, still zero water coming from the compressor. It was not a super FL humid day. Humidity will be higher in the next few weeks, will keep testing and learning before recording any video about it.
Only thing I know is that I should have got this before...
