I have a 60 gallon 220V single phase Guardian Power air compressor. It was pretty grungy when I first got it. So I cleaned it up, got new air filters, changed the oil, new belt, rewired the on off circuit, installed an auto blow down valve, replaced the the one way valve at the top of the tank...

To All responders thank you it was indeed the tank valve. Man, that thing was crusty. When I used the Snoop leak finder the bubbles rose up like a head on a beer and filled the port. I'm in the process of getting a replacement. Thanks again.

Thank guys great suggestions! I let you all know if I find it and what it was that was leaking.

I have an older 80 Gallon 5HP single stage compressor and while it's not an end of the world problem it a frustration one. It leaks down about 20 pounds per day. I have checked every fitting including the drain on the bottom, the exit on the side, both lines coming out of the (head both ends)...

Thought that is what you meant but wasn't sure. I believe you are right.

What is an IIRC? So should I have a 50 amp breaker in the main panel, and a 50 GFI out of reach of the tub but in sight.

The schematic matches the one inside the controller box.KD3PC hit the nail on the head about you can run the pump on hi but not the heater when connected to 30 amps but on 50 amps you have the power to run it all, at least that is the way it was on my other tub. I am going to call Balboa...

Sorry about the size I have done an upgrade before in fact I already have a 30amp GFI 220V breaker in the panel from the last hot tub. As I recall when the pump was set on high you did not get the same heating value as when the pump was on low. This I am only going to do once more and I want to...

Here it is.

I recently got a used hot tub. It is currently set up for use on 110v. I also can convert it to 220v. In the information it says I can use it with a 30 or 50 amp service with GFI. Which should I choose and why? My thought process is like "Tim The Toolman Taylor" (cave man grunt) more power is...

I want the fan to cycle with the furnace. Thank you for your response.

I have a 40x48x16H barn. With so tall of a ceiling i would like to use a old furnace blower to recirculate the hot air from off the ceiling to down across the floor when the furnace runs. The blower is 120V rated. How can I use the low voltage signal from the thermostat to turn on the the 120V...

Got an old fridge? Check and old cooling items they may developed a leak of an amoina based coolant.

When you say a two pole breaker are you referring to one where the two legs are tied together or both legs are in the same breaker? Thanks all for the advice.

Can you replace the bulbs in fixtures the have the flat two pin contacts (cold start) with LED type bulbs.
