what size does the air compressor need to be and tank size becouse need constence air pressure to keep it going for three to four min

A compressor with at least a 2 gallon capacity is recommended, but 4 gallons and above is better. You don't need to sustain the power blast for 3-4 minutes nonstop, you can clean several feet, let the compressor rebuild pressure, then continue cleaning. To see a video of the Cyclone in action, please view our video on YouTube. Since Amazon will not allow the posting of outside links, if you type "RamAir Dryer Duct Cleaning" into YouTube's search window, it will reveal the video. It's simply amazing how much lint is removed so easily with the Cyclone.

You need to buy a air compressor and hose to attach to this. If all you need is to pump up tires,basketballs,floating devices,etc,etc,etc,the cheapest and most practical compressor to buy would be one of those small "pancake" air compressors like are used with air nail guns. I bought a re-conditioned one that came with 50 feet of hose and a finish nailer for $80,delivered. These are small and if your garage is small you can just store it under a bench or on a shelf when not needed. They probably only weigh 20-25 lbs.

Scott, it's entirely dependent on your application. If you need more air in a hurry than the compressor can pump over the time period you have in mind, than a tank is necessary. The compressor can operate with or without a storage tank. Hope this helps. Dan

No.The small tank will not give you enough air.This compressor is only good for inflating tires.

there are three nozzles that are included with this compressor. Keep in mind that this is a low air volume compressor that should not be run for more than 10 min at a time. But it should do the trick

You need to get some extra parts for the compressor. Like a filter, scuba tank fill nozzle, and most air compressors don't have enough psi output

any cheap 1 galon compressor will do, but if you want later to upgrade I WILL said get at lease a 2 gallon unit

I used a 4 gallons air compressor that I rented at home depot last year to blow out the 9 zones sprinkle system. The sprinkle has 1 inch diameter(instead of 3/4 '') and are quite long in a yard more than 11,000 sqf. So I guess this 3.5 gallon tank will work too. You have to stop more often and wait for the pressure raising up.

this is the boyfriend 30 gallons would be good if you're not constantly spraying we have a 60 gallon never ran out of there air compressor only kicked on three times hope this helps

The compressor has a built in pressure switch. I know it works filling tires directly. Don't know about a tank but it should work the same there. The pressure switch is not adjustable

A small compressor 2 or3 gal. like a pancake or emglo compressor. All you need is 60-65 PSI.

I run it with a regular compressor. But you might want a holding tank if you are going to use it alot. Its pretty taxing on the smaller compressors.

I think the compressor is a little small. The psi is more than enough. I think you would have to wait for the compressor to refill before move on to another part of the job.

The Gallon Capacity Of The Compressor Is Irrelevant. What You Really Need To Consider Is The Air Supply Rate. The Manual Specifies That At 100 Nails Per Minute You Need To Supply 8.7 CFM. At 50 Nails Per Minute, Then Half That Air Rate.

I don't know what volume of air you require, this doesn't put out very much but it will build to a pressure of about 130lbs. The compressor is designed to operate small finishing nailers and would also work great for airbrushing. The best thing about this compressor is it's quiet operation. It's an excellent small compressor. Thank you. Jerry

Air Compressor is to small, need bigger..These eat air pressure..Go Electric..

if you have a lot of time it will do the job.it takes about two min.to cycle from full to when the compressor comes on.then you have about 30 to 35 seconds of air.
