Yes, exciting indeed. Gj gw!

30% faster then 2 tr21's that's sweet. Can you give any more details on the noise levels via your human ears?

Actually quiet running. About like a loud refrigerator.

Omg that sounds way better than the two tr21's clanking away! Especially once they warm up they are pretty loud. My favorite part of the day is when they turn off and I don't have to yell to talk to guests who drop by the shop. I kinda wanted to sell my cls but maybe I'll hold onto it hehehe! The production of cls is unrivaled but I don't like how everything is so time sensitive.

At this point in the game I don't think anyone is going to recommend that pump when there are much better and safer alternatives on the market now.

You could technically use any oil-free recovery pump to do the job, but you are going to be hard pressed to get someone to tell you to buy that pump when the TRS21, Haskel, and CMEP-OL are all available now.

One of my two trs21s took a dump today after only 5-6hrs run time!

Yeah, we had four in a row do that. SubZero replaced hem with another unit and the story we got is that the factory used the wrong seals, which they will correct.

Time will tell.

The CM6000 looks like it uses the same cylinders as the CMEP-OL but with 4 heads instead of 2. It's also more than double the price...
Nothing significant.

Just replaced the piston seals and piston head seals for the umptingth in my g5's the other day. I usually get about 3 or 4 months in between rebuilds. they run 6 days a week 10 hour days. probably 6 to 8 hours of run time a day. All 4 still run perfect, all of them have been threw at least 2 new fans(biggest loudest POS on the whole pump). They are 1 to 2-1/4 years old (some newer then others). One has a squeaky bearing but you only hear it when it turns off and slows to a stop. Zero corrosion in the coolers from what i can see, and once the piston and everything is cleaned up everything looks brand new. Ive replaced the little poppit springs on the older one, the other are still fine and hold pressure.

How old are your tr-21 's??? Ive got a g5 that ran one of the first set of MKIII's sent out from carla, got my machine and pump on Mar 27, 2013. Still have that machine and pump(squeaky one), both have been rebuilt so many times lol.

my 3 tr21 range from 1-2 yrs old all still fine. This trs and the other two still sitting in the box are going the F back to johnstone. My gauge stayed pinned @ 0 for like 5 min and the pump got all wobbly like it was gonna drop its guts on the table. So I flipped it off, fuk that, I SSDW'd the batch I was running on acct of all the tane, and switched back to the tr for the rest of the days runs. I never SSDW so im kinda excited for the variety. Shure can see how it helps on the production end of things..... This shits getting vac'd tonight whilst the other troops are in the deep freeze for a couple.


total side note:
its clear, I need access to cbd. I have none. Couple peeps on here msged me with good words bout my anxiety flareups and I appreciate that. Cheers u guys
