    I bought a house sized thru wall or window mount swamp cooler on craigslist last summer for 150 bux and stuck it on a furniture moving dolly i got from harbor freight, and run a plastic water line that i adapted to my hose bib right outside the garage. In the dry so cal climate it will make 80...

    Thermostat mystery

    From what i have seen, alot of the honeywell stats make you wait in between cycles because they have no programmable dead band. I installed 2 of those exact stats at my house, and took them out the same day because i refuse to use a stat without an adjustible dead band. A programmable dead band...

    Evaporative Cooler tricks

    The charcoal filters would work fine, you could attach them to the outsides of the cooler, just make sure the direction of flow is correct. We used em at my old job for the make up air units on the roof.

    Air compressor replacement pump

    I recalculated my cfm rating that its actually producing, and its about 14 and its originally rated for 16 which isnt bad. The problem is that when the oil blows out the vent the vapors collect on the discharge header and burn off and smoke bad lol. So i removed the stock vent adapter, put a...

    Air compressor replacement pump

    Nice bud!, your old pump looks like the one i have thats blowing tons of oil vapor out of the vent. Im pretty sure its damaged, so i might go the same route you did, what did the front of the old pump look like? Was it similar to mine?

    air compressor issue

    Did an oil change and drained the tank completely. Ran it up to 100 psi, it took almost exactly 5 minutes to fill the 80 gallon tank to 100 psi from 0, so i did some math, and i such at math, and from what i calculated, it appears that its only putting out 9 cfm. Please correct me if im wrong...

    Got the compressor a few days ago, moved it into the garage, added a breaker to my main panel, punched through the wall, mounted a sub panel, piped the conduit in, pulled all the wires, added service disconnect for compressor, and there she is. Added bonus is that i was able to add 2 20 amp 120...

    Evaporative Cooler tricks

    Another trick that i use is to double up the spider. Normally when you buy a swamp cooler itll come with one water distribution spider attached to the top of the inside of the cooler, and each pad on the sides of the cooler is fed with one water tube. I noticed that after about 30 minutes of...

    Low buck welding fume exhaust

    If you have a designated bench or area that you weld in specificially, you could form a large square funnel out of sheet metal, and seal the top of it off, and put a high cfm bathroom fart fan with a ducted discharge, and run the discharge duct out the side of the garage. We did something very...

    air compressor issue

    Thanks for the welcome and the info, i can find the link to the pump model, and ill post it here. The problem is pretty much the same whether the tank is completely empty or if its at 145 psi. If it was bad rings, i would think that itdd get noticibly worse the higher the tank pressure due to...
