Exactly and i will add : just because the compressor instruction say it will fill tanks does not mean it will last . Advertising is misleading because Under controlled Laboratory conditions it works ,does not imply it will do what they say in your basement .
For every guy like you, there's many many more that like them. Yours look like crap, rust, grunge all over it. I have one that's been running for 10 yrs. With a piston swap every couple years. I use it every day
Don't forget, "our boy" here is an impatient young man. A Yong Heng will definitely fill a tank to 4500psi (I recommend not pushing it over 4200-4250psi) but HE thinks 45 minutes is too long to wait. Others (like us) are perfectly willing to be gentle & PATIENT in order to be air independent. His impatience is his problem! It doesn't negate the facts that A) Yong Hengs work & B) they make no guarantees on HOW FAST they'll fill, only that they WILL fill!
That's an excellent point. Based on that, we should probably tell him straight up that he would hate the Altoros booster pump or anything like it. It's a great pump that will last and last, but it is a slow one. Unless you have access to a very large high capacity shop compressor, they run slower than the trusty old Shoebox compressors do - and those (which I use and absolutely love) are tortoise-like com compared to a Yong Heng (but work great as a set it and forget it compressor that will last for many years with very little maintenance).
I think you just did. If he's pissed about the time it takes to fill a 45 minute tank with a YH, a booster pump ought to send him through the roof!!!
I've had it for 7 months water wouldn't come out the return line I fixed that then the aluminum block just broke off and the threads for the pipe on the other block stripped out never even been into it they cross threaded it from factory... I will gladly pay 900$ for well built booster pump to fill my tanks and guns.
