I don't know if this is a good idea. If too much water gets into one of the cylinders it can lockup and cause damage.
Adding water inside your CS4?

I'm thinking Nope!
Doesn't look like a good idea to me.
Mind you some idiots put stupid ideas out on Youtube and even sillier people believe them (such as microwaving an expensive camera, etc).

Not as dumb as drying your pet inside a microwave! This is the same guy that says to run your CS4 for 2 hours to get rid if excess grease before using.
Regardless of if his videos are correct, they are some of the best for see what to expect for disassembly of the CS4.

You didn't do the test correctly. The test requires 250cc (could be 500cc, I don't recall) of water to be poured in as fast as the pump can handle it.

I was a great idea to increase profits by having many repeat customers. It was done long ago when it was legal. Oh, wait it is currently "legal" in places like Seattle, LA and SF.

That’s got to be one of the dumbest things I’ve seen in a while. Why would you put water is where the grease goes to lubricate a piece of machinery?

Hey, believe this. The manufacturer sent me that link and said to try that out when I reported having issues. My power supply was shutting down when starting the motor will no load on it. This happened about a dozen times. They said try this. I refused to do so and they finally sent me a new power supply. So far, that issue hasn't recurred.

Our engineer analyzed possible reasons. It maybe not converter reason.
Another possibility is that the high-pressure piston or high-pressure one-way valve needs to be cleaned. Stucked by Small granular things and cannot be sealed. The machine sounds unusually hard, so that the power adapter has excessive current protection.
You can try to clean it , it is easy.

It was pretty painful communicating with them, text started out in Chinese and it was being tossed around by multiple people.

did you actually see where they poured the water in.. I have a very similar compressor.. Omega trail charger.. if you look closely they removed the cover to the grease pot and it is where they poured water.. it is probably the worst place you could get water in.. it's like watering the bearings instead of lubricating them.. or adding water to the oil in your car.. it's hard to even imagine it didn't even in catastrophic failure.. bearings need grease not water.. it takes a special white color grease that is good grade.. would be a much better idea to just add grease if it is low and turn the grease pot according to the instructions.. but on that compressor back to the center is a clear cap for coolant, I suppose it could be topped off to the correct level with water but it will last longer if it is topped off with premixed antifreeze..
please never take these horrible videos as a good idea.. don't add water to the lubricant..
the only thing this video might be good for is if the compressor is out of warranty to completely ruin it so that the seller will get another sale..
so honestly in short this could be one of possibly the worst things you could do to you compressor.. whatever seems to be a problem the only place it's appropriate to put water is in the coolant system..
if I knew how to, I'd find the video source and definitely say that it is the absolute worst thing for a compressor.. I'm sorry but it really upsets me being a mechanic and machinist to see people putting up destructive videos that someone might think that the video maker actually has a good idea or even knows what he's talking about..
please never try this!!

you are welcome to pm me if you need anything, I'd be happy to help you.. this video is just horrible because it, likely will mislead someone.. thanks for posting it, if for no other reason that it along with knowing what they are doing might save someone else from a disaster

disassemblely from following this destructive video.. that was the grease pot they were putting water in.. water is going to ruin the bearings quickly.. it's likely the quickest way to need a new compressor..
I'm glad it's posted here, I have a very similar Omega trail charger and I was able to see the label on the grease pot where they were adding water..

it's good, hopefully you reposting it along with the comments here might save someone a lot of grief

then if you tried it, it would likely be your fault for putting water in the bearing grease.. and id hope if they tricked you that far you would take your business elsewhere.

so I have one that looks very similar but it is black, I got it from airguns of Arizona.. mine is a Omega trail charger and it's worked perfectly for im guessing around 8 years..
guessing that this one in the video is a cheap knock off.. plus AOA has parts and service.. yes it is all English and they are very helpful if you need anything.

Pretty scary coming from the manufacturer, but kinda expected. This is not a high end unit.

GX makes the Omega. Confirmed by the manufacturer to me when I asked while ordering the CS4-I.
