Had the Altaros on four 4 hours and soaped all joints five different times and found zero leaks. Never put over 5 lbs of air pressure in my tank. My compressor puts out 5.1 cfm at 90 lbs. Checked for leaks on all fittings of compressor and Altaros with soap water and never found a leak of any kind. I am stumped.
Cant figure it out

Make sure the air bleeder release knob is fully closed at the end of your hose, it is easy to bump and accidentally turn the black bleeder knob open.

Accuracy , I have the bleeder valve on the Altarous line completely closed and the bleeder on my supply line completely closed. I had a bucket of soap foam to check all fitting. I have a water separator between home compressor and Altarous Booster that had about 3/4" water in it. I then put an in- line desiccant filter, connected to water separator to Altaros inlet fitting. I saw a small amount of water in Altaros water separator, which is then connected to Altsros Desiccant filter. I checked beads in Altaros desiccant filter and they were dry. The in-line desiccant, I noticed has a flow limit of 90 psi . That could be slowing the flow. I can't tell you how many times I checked for leak, but I think it was five different times. I have a microbore hose that I connected from bottle to altarous feed line. Would that also restrict flow to bottle. Do I need to replace that hose with a larger hose, just for fill purposes? I will post picture of my setup later.
