Bleeding it off as necessary, if it says every 3 minutes then do it that way. So it isn't really a turn it on and forget it. I'd be safe and always be close to check it and bleed it off.
You definitely don't want any water in your gun.
Remember this very high pressure air so we must be vigilant when operating a compressor, ie no children in the same room double check connections etc.
In your house gives you a good temperature to operate your compressor in the summer.
The wood floor probably definitely gives more vibration, sound etc.
But all in all sounds like a successful operation.
Cost a few bucks but your air gunning experience is now on steroids.

Right now it's my Marauder .25 and then my BullDog .357 then the BullBoss .25, I'm going to be ordering a HMx .357 in a couple weeks and that will be my main Airgun follow by the Mrod .25....

I made sure I was bleeding it off, did it quite a few times on the test run and same with the 1st tank fill, what I noticed is that while under pressure it spit out more oil/water mix then the test run with no pressure, I'll keep a eye on it the more I use it and see what it does but I imagine it will start spraying less and clean itself of all the assembly residue.
Anyway I be a Happy camper this July 4th.

Hey imold. Congrats. The 90 ci tank will take about 6 or 7 minutes to top off from 3000 to 4500. If you shoot at the house your going to use that tank a lot now. Very convenient. Also I let my compressor water pump run for approximately 2 minutes after auto shutoff just to cool the unit down a bit. The temp drops quickly this way. Also don't forget to turn off the power button after auto shut. Good luck with it.

Getting the hang of it, it took maybe 7 min to top off the 90ci bottle from 34 to 4500psi, still need to tweak the auto shut off, still about 100psi off but for me that's close enough.

My compressor has arrived. I already started filling the tank and it is sitting at 260 bar at the moment. I have shut off compressor manually since air tank is really hot I want to give it and compressor some time to cool down.
The time to get 74CF tank filled from 0 to 260 bars is 47 minutes.
The compressor work temperature is 80C.
I live in Texas and it is 35C outside... Impressive.

Nice, I need to get out shooting so I can get more use out of the compressor,still a little gun shy,still think I need to hand pump so I avoid shooting but this will pass shortly I hope,just need to remind myself I'm hand pump free and have all the compressed air I need now hahaha.....remember to bleed the system while fill up the tank........congrats...

Yah, I was bleeding the system almost every 5 minutes. There was a lot of water. But it is expected, since it is pretty humid atm.

I got my compressor in January when every day was in the 40 to low 50,s, in the summer now i fill the tanks when it is the coolest part of the day, normally early morning.
But if you are able to run the compressor in you A/C house then that works, but in the fall and winter i'd fill outside in the garage where it will be much cooler.
I also use a floor fan and blow air over the whole operation.

In the Fall and Winter my basement is cool and dry so I will be moving it down there then in the spring and summer I'll have it in my computer room next to my vent so it will get the cool dry air from my AC when it's on...That's my plan anyway...
