A Little Disappointed
By Ian G.
Ramona, California
Purchased 12/11/2019 |
Review Posted 01/24/2020
I followed the manual instructions before the startup. I found the 2-inch plug on the bottom was finger tight. I extended the drain out from under the tank, for easy access for an old man. It built air for the first time, and the pressure switch let the pressure go up to 195 psi. The 200 psi relief safety valve below the pressure switch leaked and with the compressor off drained the tank.
I was referred to California Compressor for a warranty part. I called 1/16/2020. A woman said she would fill out the warranty paperwork and call. I called twice this week. Still no response. I won't run the compressor with a faulty relief valve. I sure would like to use that shiny $2700 dollar compressor.
