does the tank take pressured air

No. The tank is a co2 tank, it cannot hold the same amount of pressure as a HPA tank.

Yes, you just reduce the air pressure. Adjust it with the air compressor regulator.

Depending on how much air is escaping it is normal. When you turn the compressor on, there will be some crankcase pressure that has to be released. On the other hand if you turn on your compressor and it takes a long time to build up tank pressure, or wont shut off due to the fact it cannot built tank pressure, that can be a sign of bad rings, and or valves. I went a long way to answer your question, so I guess the short answer is Yes, there should be a little air escape while its running. If, once the compressor has filled with enough tank pressure it should stop leaking air. Hope this helps. Depending on how much air is escaping it is normal.

No I don't so. However it will balloon out if kept unvented. I always leave my tank vented so it doesn't balloon. I hope that this answers your questions. If you have anymore please feel free to contact me again.

My unit has a rubber air bladder within the tank, separating water and air. This allows the tank to be mounted in virtually any position without affecting the air/water ratios. The bladder contains your air charge, water occupying the rest of the container.

In my experience, no, it does not. It isn't sturdy enough to generate adequate pressure. Other Krups models I've used have been terrific, including a dual maker like this one, so it isn't that. This just happens to be a grossly inferior model.

Hi David, We are not allowed to send Co2 tanks under pressure. As said in the other comments, there are a number of places that you can get your tank filled, welding shop, gas/air stores, paint ball stores, and some home-brew stores. I suggest you be sure and check about keeping your NEW co2 tank or if they exchange(you will more than likely get a used tank on the exchange).Hope this was helpful.Tommy G.

Yes, in fact the manual states is must be under the tank. Without at least a couple feet difference in height it can't get enough pressure to work properly.

I doubt it would generate enough pressure. Its a tiny compressor designed for actuating the lockers. ARB does make a slightly larger twin tank compressor that duals as locker actuator and will add air to tires. Google for comparitive specs.

No there is no pressure tank needed it works great and is quiet I use a 5 gallon bucket to draw out of and when you turn off the flow the pump shuts off and restarts when the flow is opened again. Good pump.

Yes, you put liquid in it, (penetrating oil, etc) and pressurize it using an air source (air compressor/hand pump, etc).

Robert is correct, I was wrong. It seemed at the time I had a little more of flow but it is impossible. If you have a pressurized tank there should be a shrader valve on the tank to check the air pressure of the bladder inside of the tank to boost water pressure, you may be low on pressure in the bladder. You may need to use an air pump to raise the air pressure but be careful, I don't remember what the pressure should be. Check with Watts Premier web site.

This has a compression fitting that screws on to the 1/4" plastic tubing. If it doesn't work any hardware store will have the correct one for $2-3 dollars. This was a great buy for me. My old one was only putting out 5-10 seconds of pressure about 10 oz. this tank keeps going and easily fills a half gallon pitcher.

No I have both the compressor and tank mounted horizontally. The only problem I have is when it freezes the pressure shutoff doesn't work

Yes, it works off of the Venturi principle to produces lower pressure inside the tank. If not it would pressurize the tank, and possibly explode.

Before you do anything expensive you should know that ALL of these tanks leak out the air over time. Without the air pressure there is nothing to push the water out. There is a place to put air into the tank using a compressor. Just make sure you set the gauge to the correct pressure so you do not overfill. Pony compressors a marvelous for all kinds of things.

The tank fills to 200psi. As I use the air the compressor turns on to refill to 200psi. I have not watched to see what pressure it allows to get down to before refilling. So far I have only used it for hardwood floors. It Is a great compressor so far and very quiet.
