Building pressure

by Tom Pettibone

The compressor will build pressure, but it takes forever (about 3 times longer than it used to) to build up to 125 p.s.i.. And also, how often should I drain the tank?

Tom, check out, and read, all the pages linked from Troubleshooting to do with why compressors don't build pressure. Do the checks, and then let us know what does, or doesn't happen, K?

Drain your tank every day you use the compressor. If used every single day, buy and install an electric auto drain for the tank.

Cheers,

Bill
