Re: Bigger compressor recommendation

I am personally running a 2340 at home. We'll call it weekend warrior duty. Mine came to me as a trade in, it had been powering diaphragm pumps in a sewer lift station for 6 years. A pump ruptured and the compressor ran for 3 days non stop. The owners didn't trust it after that. I put in rings and valve kits. That was 7 years ago. I also decreased the drive sheave dia. As I don't need all of the cfm it can make. Doing so lets the pump run cooler, makes drier air, lives longer. But it cost a couple of cfm. Mine at 1100 rpm sounds much nicer than the factory 1600.
