No way can you do this, unless your incoming water temperature is very high (70+ degrees F or higher). I spec these things for a living. We put 25kW units on kitchen sinks and showers in a commercial facility and still got complaints about the water being too cold. With a 120V 20A circuit...

Add me to the camp of those not in favor of running a single-stage compressor to that high of pressure. Fun tip - look at the pressure range that Quincy states for their industrial-duty QR line of single-stage pumps - maximum continuous pressure is only 100psi, with one or two pump models going...

You would have to also have oxygen in the tank at the right level for there to be any combustion. And old gas has long since lost its volatiles (meaning you can hold a match to it and it may not even light) unless it was in a completely sealed container. It's not that big of a danger as people...

What's the over/under on this tree dying prematurely due to too many roots being cut?

Just one caution - Totatally-Enclosed, Fan-Cooled (TEFC) motors typically have a lower service factor (1.0 instead of 1.15 or 1.25), meaning that they are less tolerant of being overloaded. This is because it is more difficult to get the heat out of the motor windings on this type of motor...

That's great, right up until it isn't. You can watch hundreds of "will it run" videos on YT that show what the inside of the fuel tank looks like from sitting this long. Not to mention what your fuel injector strainers look like.

I just got reconnected with the fiber to my home. I originally had Verizon fiber (FIOS) installed 11 years ago, and the Optical Network Terminal (ONT) device/modem had a power supply with a sealed lead-acid battery in it, to keep the ONT powered up during power outages. The new install...

And I have had the exact opposite experience as you have. I have repeatedly had E10 gas go bad just from sitting in the mower tank between the end of June and the beginning of October - it goes flat (volatiles exit the tank) and the mower simply will not start. No such issues since switching...

You are correct, but a grinder pump is another whole huge maintenance item. I maintained our cul-de-sac one in a private lift station (6 homes) for almost 15 years. I would never recommend one unless there was no other option available. It's FAR easier to train everybody just to run some...

Check out Surplus Center (catalog or website) - they often have decent deals on replacement compressor motors: https://www.surpluscenter.com/

James Condon is another youtube channel to watch - he usually repairs or rebuilds a generator every week.

Actron/Sunpro CP7830. Or just buy one of the Chinesium copies on Amazon for $20ish. It will work fine for your needs.

Meeting fire codes/making it fire safe is also a big concern - you need a fire block (5/8" thick drywall taped & sealed, but check local codes) between the living space and the shop area. Designing air system for living space so it draws from outside air would be another design feature. If...

Use a coalescing filter at the end of your hose - the longer the hose the better, so that the air has more time to cool off, causing the water to condense out into droplets, that the filter traps at the end. That's by far the easiest way to do it. Buy a 50' section of hose and if you want to...

As stated above, install a dedicated regulator on that unit, and dial it down until it pumps at the speed suitable for your needs.

Move em into your office/den and use them to hold computer parts and electronic stuff. I've got a 2-car garage and kept my original Craftsman stack when I got the larger Husky box. Both are too full. And then I have a mechanic's cart for the daily-use stuff.

I would look at Belaire (American IMC) - you can't beat their bang for the buck. Going true USA-made industrial you are easily looking at $5-6K new, or get a used unit - hundreds of compressor threads on this site to read on this topic.

There is a forum just for questions such as this one: Bob Is The Oil Guy.

If you are an occasional user, going with the smaller/lighter saw is usually the correct choice. My "big" saw, which many people will laugh at, is an Echo CS-520 which I bought in near-mint condition last summer for $100 on the List of Craig. Last fall I cut up a 36" diameter maple tree with...

Oh yeah, this could turn into a "recommend me a chainsaw" thread quite easily!:lol_hitti
