Hey guys is the main difference between the pumps that one is disc valves and the other is reed valves? Is the main issues with the reed valves the difficulties to service it? I always have a compressor man do it for me. Do the reed valves have to be serviced sooner than disc valves?

I was speaking to my local compressor shop and he was saying the champion or the Quincy both should not come with 7.5 hp motors. He was saying that those pumps are built to be ran with 5 hp motors. It's makeing the pumps run real hard and just like humans if you make them work hard they won't...

He said the compressor had been sitting for months with the water in there.

I talked to my local compressor shop and he said one you get rust in the tank it's over. It will just keep growing. He said when you buy a new one and drain it regularly it won't rust. We have a saylor beall from 1971. When we drain it daily clean water comes out.

I went and saw a champion like the one in the original post. It was just like that built in 2015 he wanted 2000$ for it. I was going to get it but when I opened the drain lots of brown rusty water came out. So I said for get it.

I would like somthing over 22 cfm or around. The guns we use (Sata) use around 15 cfm. But the time the air get through the dryer and 3 stage filter I'm sure the cfms will drop some.

We have a saylor beall as our main shop compressor now. This new one will also be a back up for that one. I'm looking for somthing around or over 22 cfm. If I do go with champion I have two options the advantage series or this one...

So basically they are both great compressors. The champion runs a bit slower and is not as loud as the Quincy. The Quincy uses foreign parts and has reed valves. Which I honestly don't know the difference between reed and disc. The champion will last forever as opposed to the Quincy that might...

The compressor will be used for a maximum of 3 hours a day. I know that the Quincy comes with the Baldor 1750 rpm motor. The pump rpm is around 900. We will be using this compressor for no more than 5 years so it doesn't matter to me if it last a life time. Now I'm really confused because I have...

Thanks for the quick replie! I have seen that the new champions are not made in the good old USA anymore. I went and saw one and it had a sticker on it saying designed and put together in the USA meaning they get the stuff from over seas. As opposed to the Quincy that's still made here.

Hello, I know this has been brought up a lot and believe me I have read all the threads about them! I'm looking to buy a compressor for our bodyshop. It's going to be for the paint booth. I have narrowed down my choice to either a Quincy or champion. They are both 7.5 hp with there max packages...

I have read that single stage puts out more cfm than two stage when it's running? Also if I had let's say 3000$ to spend on a compressor what should I buy? A champion 7.5 hp?

Hey guys what's the most popular brand of compressor? Ingersoll, champion? Would single stage be better or 2 stage for painting cars? Because I could this guy and he says he can find me any compressor I want so I want to see if I should just buy this ingersoll or I should look at other brands. I...

Hey guys! I Have a question regarding air compressor size. I am looking to buy a used compressor on Craigslist and have found a ingersoll rand t30 'model 2475. It is a 80 gallon 2 stage 5hp built in the year 2000. He is asking 500$ for it and I want to know if you guys think this is a good...
