OMEGA Compressors review videos (Part 1&2)

Thanks Tom, you pretty much covered all the bases ... except for that bald spot on the top of your head. NOW I KNOW why you always wore a hat ... so we wouldn't have to wear sun glasses to protect us from all the light reflecting off the super dome. Nah ... just pullin' ur leg, but you really did a good job on the video, just hope it doesn't get taken down by YouTubes content monitors who all reside at the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Who did you buy it from, I'm guessing AoA. I got my Super Charger from them and it came to me defective, eventually had to send it back into AoA, but since then it has not given me a second of trouble. Todd (the guy who works on these contrapions at AoA) is the easiest person in the world to get along with and really goes out of his way to make sure you are happy with the product. He says that if the Super Charger doesn't do well in the American market place, then he wont have a job so it behooves him to make sure everyone is happy. When I sent mine back to be worked on, he took the whole thing apart found that the piston had a chip in it at the bottom which would not allow it to build up pressure .... but like I said, since then it's been all good.
​I do have a Diablo Dry Air System on mine because I live in North Carolina where we have extremely humid conditions about 6 months out of the year ... and like you, I want nothing but dry air inside my equipment ... water and O-rings make for a bad situation all the way around.
​I've got about 80 hours on my Super Charger and havn't had to add any grease to the machine yet ... I do turn the green knob one click every 6 hours of run time, but haven't had to add anything to the reservoir yet. If you should forget to turn the knob every six hours, it has a red light which comes on to tell you that you missed your maintenance and to turn the knob or to check the reservoir.
​Stay chilly ... keep on keepin' on ... don't get discouraged ... and feed those skinny cats.

Well done Tom! Damn this game is expensive!

Nice video Tom! Glad to see new content being published again. When do you think your old videos will come back?

Useful and concise. Makes me wish I had enough to buy one. Will happen eventually. Until then, thanks for the information!

Tom thanks for the video and magnet idea. I have the regular Omega Super Charger. It came with anti-freeze instead of water so I can keep it in my shop without having it inside. 

Todd of AoA added some notes which are,"When to add grease: 2 complete turns CW every 4 hrs. of operation, when empty fill back up. This is the most critical of maintenance". 

He also noted when filling gun directly from compressor set the self-draining adjust knobs to left knob 1/2 minute(time of air bleed) and right knob to 3 minutes (time of fill before it bleeds) as a general rule. Mine has run flawless for the last couple of years. The only thing done to it is order more grease from AoA.

Very nice job Tominco....Both videos were right on and well edited...Thanks

Here's a link for the grease if you find it's often needed.

Excellent review Tom. I'll add a photo of my Turbo Charger and Omega 100 cu/ft tank sitting in the corner behind me. Love them both. I did think about the Daystate, but the full auto was just not there. Also the Turbo Charger has a cleaner look in the house, so no complaints from the wife on either the looks or the low noise. I used to have at least a 2 1/2 hr round trip to the dive shop (and had I known I was buying the Turbo Charger so quickly I might have gone with the 12 cu/ft). It's great having a compressor that you just hook to and simply turn on... everything is automatic from there. 

My turbo has been awesome, no issues at all. Fills tanks quickly. Having a compressor opens up a whole new world of spending more money on PCPs. This sickness knows no bounds.
