Went to fill my tanks this afternoon b4 going pig hunting for the night. Hooked it up, turned it on to get the fan/water running , then turned to pump on. It would only fill my bottles to 3600 psi. Any ideas on what is wrong? It’s new to me.

Check that the bleed screw is completely closed tight. May be a slight leak past the bleed screw that you are not able to hear over the sound of the pump. Happened to me.

I really like this compressor, it's simple. Tazhunter0, let us know if you get it sorted out.

It took me a while but got my Omega up and running great. Was not a problem with the compressor at all. My shop is wired very strangely and it gives me some issues at times. It was wired by a previous owner. Talking with my son-n-law who is a electrician by trade we figured it had to be something with the shop. Today I hooked the compressor up in my dining room and filled 2 of my 3 SCBA tanks without a hitch. We are rewiring the shop within the next few weeks now. Glad to have my own air source now.

The previous owner tied the whole shop in with the house A/C. Every time I run my wood lathe or table saw the lights would flicker. Too much being pulled from one wire is how it was explained to me. Once hooked up in the house, I did not even flicker the lights in the house. Going to rewire the shop with heavier gauge wire and put it on its own meter.
