I filled up 3 SCBA tanks after flushing the cs4 with water. I didn’t have a working compressor and now I do. To me it was worth a shot since I didn’t have a running compressor, it’s under warranty and I have email confirmation from gx to flush the compressor using the method they described.

As for storage, I do believe the cold weather exacerbates the issue but my cs4 was already acting up and would not pump properly in a 75* room let alone a 35* garage. After performing the flush all is working well. It’s your money, it’s your machine, do as you please. At least I have a running compressor again 👍

So far, two of us have tried it and it worked. Feel free to message me in a few months to see how the cs4 is running.

We plan on buying a bigger compressor in a month or so and the cs4 will be a backup. At that point I will fully disassemble and rebuild it with pics.

Now that I have dissed this idea. it is time to learn more about it
@Buck_Wil, can you tell me where (or provide link) to the instructions, please?

Thanks

Works better if you remove the check valve and use warm water. Not removing that and the water is just pumping into the water separator and making a mess of that.

Be sure to regrease it after you do it. Running to long can wreck the high pressure piston...This is the easiest and best fix, other then a tear down to clean it up.
