Common questions What does cast iron actually change?Cast iron cylinders, shaft and connecting rod resist wear far better than aluminium. The pump also turns slower, which keeps operating temperature and noise down and extends service life.Does it run on a normal power point?Yes, it draws 10 Amp so a standard outlet works.Is it worth the extra over the CPRC range?If you use the compressor heavily, yes. The cast iron pump and 2 year pump warranty reflect a longer expected life. For light use the CPRC range is the more economical choice.Do I need a filter for detailing work?Yes. Fit a filter and water separator before any tool used near paintwork or interior surfaces. Planning a full compressed air setup? Plan Your Air Line Compare All Compressors
