When I was shopping I made a table with all the specs for each lift under consideration (around 5 or 6 in total) including things like drive through, lift height, arm length, features like asymetric, symmetric, versymetric, etc and price. I can’t remember exactly which feature finally landed me...

I troubleshot the unit myself with multimeters to see if the unit was being commanded off, which it was (comm to yellow voltage dropping to zero). It ended up being the condensate float switch on the pan, just lifting enough the open the circuit and restart after draining a bit. I still...

I looked at the same two lifts and ended up with the I10. I have used it on both a lowered 2001 Mustang to 1 ton long box crew cab F350. No complaints.

Any takers? How big of a deal is 0.4lbs low charge?

I finally got in touch with the technician. They only read the charge weight on the outdoor unit (9.3lbs). He claims he added an extra 0.2 lbs for 9.5 total. This is still 0.4lbs short. That said the unit appears to be working fine and I get a 22F delta intake to outlet. Should I go ahead...

Update. Technicians came a pressure tested, evacuated and charged the system. It runs, but it seems the outdoor unit is hitting some type of non-latching compressor protection. After about 5-7 minutes of running the outdoor unit chute down. Controlled (slow ramp) compressor stop followed by...

$1800 for evac and recharge. (n)

That’s correct. Parts only. At this point I’m going to get what I can out of it and move on. Very frustrating as the unit worked great and it was this simple $5 part that caused all this.

The fusible link is rated to blow at 70C/158F according to the writing on the plug, which seems pretty low. As such I am not convinced that there is some other underlying problem. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if it could get close to that temp inside the compressor casing during a hot SE...

That’s part of what I’m worried about. I’ve asked the local HVAC company for scope of work for a system that went flat to see what they recommend. It’s not obvious to me where the inline filter drier is on this unit. Also Mr Cool technical mentioned nothing about this, only to replace the plug...

Recently my Mr Cool Universal 3 ton ducted split system started throwing an E3 code - low pressure protection. What was odd was the unit would throw the code immediately, even before the compressor started running. To me that suggested a large sudden leak or a bad pressure switch. Zero issues...

1750rpm and pump speed is about 750 now

I replaced the sheave on my air compressor to slow down the pump. I additionally ordered a new, shorter belt to account for the sheave change. According to Gemini belt tension should be set to about 1/2” deflection at 10lbs force which I did (or close to it). I’m still seeing a significant...

Similar to others here I ordered a curtain wall from Akon. Nice but a bit pricey. This curtains off my welding grinding area. You still will need dust collection for wood working.

You need to give us your budget.
