Others Tuxing water cooled TXES022 compressor thoughts.

[Murfdurf82]

So I purchased this 6 weeks ago and this is what I know about this compressor. It's single piston, water cooled. After 6 weeks of owning it these are my thoughts. It's fast, fills from 2900-4100 psi within 15 minutes for a 30 min 4500 psi tank. I have the good gx filter installed. It is loud, the cooling is impressive. 6 gallons of distilled water keeps the temperature low enough to run multiple guns and the tank within an hour. Only complaint and it's HUGE is I can only fill to 4100 psi as the pump runs 3-500 psi higher than the tank it's filling. And I have filled 2 tanks and 5 rifles. It's the same on all of them. I tried to hit 4500 psi on my tank thinking it's the gauge. It blew the 5k pressure cap, when it read 5k. So unless the air compressors in this class are all like this and I should expect the pressure drop I wouldn't purchase another.

Pressure at the pump outlet will always be higher than the tank due to lines and all the other filter goodies along the way. One is pushing pressure along...simple physics fluid dynamics issue.
Pressure sensor was moved to last water separator - something I added and compressor mounted. Typical shut off is 5200psi on THEIR gauge that = 4600psi on tank which is a much more accurate gauge. Note I only fill my Tank (3k to 4.6K psi) and being on a well, I just let the water run and water plants etc....

What I have been using is Tuxing 2 cyl water cooled TXED012 for past 3.5 yrs.
Big issue is ALL the line fittings are NOT Stainless steel and rust.
Things to note is keep oil changed in the compressor ( I use royal purple.....), stay on top of the awful cad plated steel fittings, add extra water separator and 3 filters (external molecular and 2 of the cotton ones).
I also added back flow valves so when I blow the moisture every few minutes the down stream filters and tank have no loss of pressure. -faster recovery. If you do this be sure to consider a method of depressurizing things!!!..ie THINK!!! ( all my fittings 10K or better rated for safety - cheaper than a trip to ER/hospital)
Stainless fittings on the flex lines do not appear to be available. Stainless fittings are used as things rust during my PM.
oh btw the mfg knows the steel fitting issues, I told them. I do not think even they either cannot get or care to use decent fittings( probably $$$)....
