How much flow / pressure should this ring compressor have? Is there a way to measure either of these values. It was replaced several years ago, the original one lasted 10+ years. I recently installed a new aeration stone in the septic tank but it seems like it should be bubbling better. My effluent has an odor to it so I suspect I’m not getting enough aeration.
OK, I now understand this isn’t a ring compressor but instead a rotary vane compressor that should put up 10 psi. I can measure the pressure with a gauge but is there a way to measure the SCFM flow? Trying to see if it delivers up to its specs.
Yes, the flow can be measured... with a flow gauge. Generally rotary vane pumps (it does both vacuum and pressure) work well up until the point they catastrophically fail. So, as long as it works it should be good. I don't replace the vanes preventatively but you might want to keep a rebuild kit on hand if you intend to keep the pump long term.
I use a small rotary vane pump to provide air to my pond's aerator. I get about 6-8 years of continuous running before it need rebuilding.
We lost power last night and now my smart power 24v emergency pumping system is making a loud alarm sound. It has three lights, one for AC, one for battery, and one for low battery. The AC and Battery light are on but the low battery light is not lit. What should I do here? Is this an issue with the unit? It's one continuous tone.
Hi All, looking for a recommendation for a weatherproof motor starter for the 7.5 HP 230 volt, this system now is a complete disaster, currently has a Flint and Walling 025244, obviously the wrong size rated for 5HP.
Thanks
