25 Gal. 200 PSI Oil Lubed Belt Drive Portable Vertical Electric Air Compressor

A:  There is nothing special about most air compressors including this one. I have one and I love it because it's quiet and big enough where it will run air tools or give you a decent amount of shop air to blow stuff off or air up tires. It was a little annoying when I got it....... It had leaks at multiple fittings, so I had to take it partially apart to put teflon tape on the threaded connections to make it seal. Anything that would need to be replaced is not unique to this thing and you will be able to source whatever you need until the end of time. The electric motor, compressor unit, check valves, etc are all easily sourceable because most air compressors work exactly the same way and use the same parts. What really makes most air compressors non repairable over time is the pressure tank corroding. When they start to rust, it's time to replace the thing, because, if allowed to progress, they are something of a bomb. This one has served me well for a couple years and I'm very happy with it.

A:  I think it will probably work because of the size of the tank. The compressor won't deliver that much volume but the fully charged tank should. I guess the size of your irrigation system comes in to play as well.

A:  The amount of SCFM required to blow out a sprinkler system depends on the diameter of pipe used in the system. Please research the sprinkler system to determine the amount of air flow required. The DEWALT 25 gallon 200 PSI air compressor creates 7.7 SCFM at 40 PSI and 6.2 SCFM at 90 PSI.

A:  I have used this compressor to blow out my and my neighbors sprinkler system for the past two years. It works beautifully. It does take a little time (around 5 minutes) to re-pressurize between zones, however, there is an ample amount of pressurized air with the tank size and 200 psi tank storage pressure. I use about 55 psi outlet pressure for sprinkler blowout.

A:  The amp reduction is the only benefit in changing the motor voltage.
