GX cs4-i questions

Jump to latest Follow Reply
Not sure about the temp gauge. For some reason I don’t think they have one. I believe as long as you look and verify water flow before using the pump it won’t over heat. They don’t run hot like a yong heng. As far as filling I would get a double male foster fitting. I will link an example below. Using it you can connect the two lines together. The line of your tank and the fill line of the compressor. You just have to be careful. You can never start the compressor under pressure as you will damage the pump. It will be imperative that you connect the two lines with the tank valve closed. Start the compressor with the tank valve closed so there is no back pressure on the pump. Watch the compressor build pressure and open the tank valve to allow filling to begin only when the pump pressure is higher that the pressure that is in your tank.

You really don't need a temperature gauge, There is an internal sensor attached to the head of the compressor that goes to the control board, if the temp gets above the set amount, it will shut down the compressor to prevent damage. I have a temp gauge on mine and fill 480cc tank regularly, the temp has never gotten over body temp, 98.6F! The only time it went over that was when the cooling tank got clogged and no water was flowing, even then it only got to about 106F. The only reason I have the gauge is because I'm anal! 😁

And you don't really need a motion sensing timer either. Just use "common" sense. (smile)

Of course, this may all depend on how much you use your CS4 compressor. For me, I use it so little compared to "power" users, that I would still be hand pumping all the time, if not for my health. And I won't even get into the "grease" question! (chuckle)

All my best!

Your photos don’t show it clearly, but does your tank valve have a bleeder on it? I don’t see one. If it doesn’t have a bleeder and your fill line doesn’t have one you will not be able to remove your probe without blowing out an O ring and a bit of force. Safety glasses would be recommended.
Show us some pictures of your compressor and fill set up.

I have two 74 cubic foot omega tanks. His appears to be like the one that has a push button bleed. I personally like to screw type better. In the first and third picture you can see the button behind the gauge.

Ahhh, OK, I wasn’t familiar with that valve set up. I have heard negative comments about the push button. The Edgun filler gun seems to be a preferred way but is a bit pricey.
Thanks for setting me straight.

Said added temperature, but claimed it ran cool . Let me him it be nice to look at just in case .

GX CS4 Compressor - Initial Impressions

I recently obtained a GX CS4 compressor direct from GX Pumps. They shipped quickly and it arrived a couple days later, well packaged and in good condition. It came with an assortment of tools, seals, rings, o-rings and springs, so looks like it has the parts needed for a complete rebuild, if...

Yes. The residual pressure in the compressor blasts the moisture out of the bleed valve. These small compressors don't remove as much as a compressor that has a built in coalescing tower which cools the compressed air by spinning it rapidly though coils inside the tower. This cyclonic action causes moisture to condense against the walls of the tower and collect at the bottom. The moisture release valve spits out the water when it is opened using the pressure in the compressor. Many GX owners add an aftermarket moisture filter or coalescing filter to dry the compressed air more completely before it enters a tank or PCP cylinder.

If you bleed your air hose first using the tank's push button, be sure to bleed the compressor afterwards to purge the moisture and relieve pressure in the compressor. If you fill a tank in stages, never restart the compressor without opening and closing the compressor's bleed valve. Starting the compressor under pressure stresses the motor and shortens the life of the compressor.

Generally the bleed on the tank is just to remove air from the line when you're feeling a gun or smaller bottle.

I used to bleed valve on the air compressor to rid the system of moisture and air so I can disconnect things. Just make sure your bottle valve is closed when you do this else you're going to lose all your air.

Yeah the push button seems to work fine and dandy. I'm an old fart, hands are pretty much worn out from working with them all my life. Sometimes it's hard and even hurts to push that button. Especially if you just filled something to 300 bar. Either way I like to twisting out better.

You all have a great Easter. Be safe
