hi, does the compressor have a tank? Does it shut off and on according to psi? or stay on? thanks!

No water tank. Only on when you are using it and spraying your gun. Off otherwise.

Sounds like the compressor is shutting on and off in relation to the the unit's set temperature and the room temperature. This is normal for the air conditioner's compressor to shut on and off. It is a feature of the air conditioner that will help conserve energy.

when I hooked up to my compressor (not a coleman ) it shut off at psi set point on regulator... I think it would , kinda like universal

The unit it's controlling is a 7 cubic foot chest freezer converted to a refrigerator. The compressor will run from a minute and a half to two minutes.Then it shuts off its off for about an hour and a half to two hours.

No. I have had this model for three years without any problem. Unlike Mr. Blake, my compressor runs quietly. One recommendation - when not in use unplug it. I have had past problems with compressors due to electric surges. Your question though raises my curiosity - why such an inquiry?

I believe its 120 psi. There are also some excellent videos on this product on You Tube. One is all about this compressor. I think you might get all of your questions answered from it.

No. It is either on or off. When on, the fan blows continually and the compressor kicks in when the room temp exceeds the temp that you set it at. When the room cools to the set temp, the compressor shuts off and then just the fan blows. Hope this helped! I love this unit..it has performed flawlessly for several years now.

Hmmm.. Did you know this compressor is sold all over the internet? Many different brand names but the same compressor. I just bought mine so I can't confirm the complaints, but it seems to me that there is a tank associated with this one. It's supposed to cut off after the pressure reaches the limit that is set. If you don't know anything about compressors, you should really read up on them before operating.

It sounds like your using to much air pressure. Turn down the PSI on your compressor. it should be no more than 90 PSI. On my compressor there is a knob you can use to turn down the air pressure. I made sure I was at 90 PSI and it worked great. Hope that helps

Short answer is yes any compressor, don't know if 2hp is enough for continuous operation, worst case you have to wait while it pumps up, or add extra volume in the system. Works good otherwise.

My only concern would be that with this compressor your psi may get to low while doing larger areas. This unit has no tank and psi drops fast and would cause the compressor to run a lot. Does come with adapters for larger compressor

The tank is rated for 100 psi and my pump is rated at 60 psi shutoff, so the pump keeps pumping almost forever. 30 minutes til I shut it off. Had to disconnect the tank. Now pump works fine, but no tank.

Depending on how much air is escaping it is normal. When you turn the compressor on, there will be some crankcase pressure that has to be released. On the other hand if you turn on your compressor and it takes a long time to build up tank pressure, or wont shut off due to the fact it cannot built tank pressure, that can be a sign of bad rings, and or valves. I went a long way to answer your question, so I guess the short answer is Yes, there should be a little air escape while its running. If, once the compressor has filled with enough tank pressure it should stop leaking air. Hope this helps. Depending on how much air is escaping it is normal.

Dear friend, I believe it is a compressor 3 to 6 AMPS, This is a cut in pressure switch operating On when pressure drops below 90 psi to 100 psi it cuts in and over 120- it cuts offif it is in the above range and single phase you can use on your present compressoe _

It is a great compressor but it has a 50% duty cycle my guess is that 5 to 7 CFM continuous at 40 PSI would make it run continuously or more than the 50% duty cycle. It is fine for low volume guns like air brushes and you might be able to use it with an LVLP sprayer if you only sprayed intermittently.

It shuts itself off at a pretty low psi, much lower than advertised or indicated on the dial. I used it (or didn't use it) to bicycle tires. Good luck
