is the tank initially pressurized to 5-7psi or do i have to do that initially? thanks.

It has been a couple of years, but I believe I didn't have to do anything. Just make sure your read the instuctions when it comes - very easy.

When I use mine, I let it come up to pressure and it stops itself somewhat over 120psi at the tank. I have the output side of the regulator set to about 50 psi for filling tires on vehicles. Part way through filling up a tire the compressor will turn on again to bring the tank up to pressure again.If you are expecting the compressor to turn off at what you have set the regulator to, that is now how it works. The compressor will always fill the tank with its "normal" operating pressure and the regulator outputs the selected pressure.

Yes, in fact the manual states is must be under the tank. Without at least a couple feet difference in height it can't get enough pressure to work properly.

No you have to set the output pressure higher than the desired final pressure

This tank does not have a pressure regulator on it---just a pressure gauge. I'm not an expert but, I'm pretty sure that the tank is not going to work for air brushing at any fixed psi. Just my opinion.

No it's not pressurized. It's just the fluid in a can with a nozzle and you squeeze it to get it to come out.

A pressure tank is not required but it will help the pump not kick on and off as often. I used a red lion 33.

I've never used it at pressures above perhaps 70 psi. The regulator data says it allows you to know (reads up to 120-psi) the hook-up/bib water pressure, and reduce it to a safe 40-50 psi pressure which is within spec for most RV's. Sorry I can't tell you more; not much data available on-line either. I'm happy with my relatively standard use, if that means anything......

Hi, I use 20 lb tanks interchangeable with those used on a gas grill ... so I think that means low pressure.

Hi David, We are not allowed to send Co2 tanks under pressure. As said in the other comments, there are a number of places that you can get your tank filled, welding shop, gas/air stores, paint ball stores, and some home-brew stores. I suggest you be sure and check about keeping your NEW co2 tank or if they exchange(you will more than likely get a used tank on the exchange).Hope this was helpful.Tommy G.

Vince, It came pre-charged. I am using the tank in our RV with an upgraded high pressure (85psi) pump. When we are not hooked to city water, the pump will run for a couple of minutes filling the tank. After the pump shuts off, we can use almost 4 gal of water until the pump runs again. The tank has a schrader valve (bicycle type) to allow adjustment of charge. After you install the tank, I would perform the following test: Allow the tank to fill, pump shuts off, run water, measure amount of water until the pump restarts. If the amount of water is much less than 4 gal, let some air out of the tank. If the tank air charge is to high compared to the incoming water pressure, the tank will not fill to 4 gal. Hope this helps.

Don't have the tank in front of me for the hydro date, but the tank I received was good to 4,500psi. I placed my order in July of 2012 so maybe the new ones are lower quality. One thing to be noted on the regulators is that they have two different pressure relief valves on them. One high pressure one low pressure. They are NOT the same as the regulator rating. That might have been confusing people.

Should be fine, we run it for half hour straight without any issue. Pressure just like home. Works great!

that will depend entirely on the PSI. However our pressure tank is 40-60 psi range and it will take approximately 10 mins to fill above the jets on ours.The quality of this is very good.

This is a storage tank only. The PSI will be at whatever you fill the tank up to , so NO you cannot set it to 20 psi without some kind of regulator.

it appears that some units came with a 5 psi regulator on the lp tank and some with a 10 psi. I believe the 10 enables higher temperatures.

Robert is correct, I was wrong. It seemed at the time I had a little more of flow but it is impossible. If you have a pressurized tank there should be a shrader valve on the tank to check the air pressure of the bladder inside of the tank to boost water pressure, you may be low on pressure in the bladder. You may need to use an air pump to raise the air pressure but be careful, I don't remember what the pressure should be. Check with Watts Premier web site.
