I would think so, but I did mine with a 6 gallon pancake one with the addition of the hose adapter kit sold on Amazon. It worked very well.

Every compressor will be like that. As the tank pressure gets higher, the compressor motor must work harder. Some designs are more efficient than others, but every design will put out less volume at higher pressures.

Yes, that's the reason I bought a larger size compressor. The winterization guy was charging me $95 so in one season itself pay off.

Any recommendations on a air dryer kit to hook to this?

Not a bad deal if you're trying to put together an inexpensive sandblasting setup or something that requires high volumes of air, but I don't think I could ever buy a non-quiet compressor again.

Which quiet one did you buy?

This looks to be a little better deal, more psi, and a little more reliable than the Harbor Freight air compressors

Would this be sufficient to winterize an in-ground irrigation system?

Any compressor pros out there that might be able to speak to the quality of this? Looks like it's regular price is 229 which is far cheaper than a comparable husky compressors which makes me wonder why this is. I like that it's not oil free as I've heard more and more that those have problems with longevity and I know Porter Cable is a bigger name in air tools.

Anyone explain why it has more CFM at 40PSI than 90PSI?

Definitely! I've done so with a Briggs & Stratton 8 gallon and also with a Craftsman 6 gallon. Just takes time for recharges and MANY repetitions of zones. I think this past Saturday i spent around 2 hours. I have 7 zones. Used the 6 gallon Craftsman. This is my 3rd year in a row DIY the winterization with my own compressor. Just keep going until it blows nothing but air. You're close when it's blowing mist.

Yeah, my logic too!

I had bought a used 60 gal version of this compressor, when my 80 gal daily crapped on me last winter. I run a three bay body shop and surprisingly it held us down without much problem. But then again it was a bigger version of this with a stronger motor & used pretty much all day on and off throughout the day. I'd say if you're using this at home for your weekend projects or even daily use, without overloading/overheating the motor. You should be fine! I believe they're all made by the same company with different brand names. (Campbell Hausfeld ?) Most of the parts are compatible with similar models in same class if I remember correctly.

It's harder to cram more air into a higher compressed space. The CFM is the flow of compressed air from the pump into the tank, not out of the hose.

Yeah, my logic too!
At what pressure do you blow the lines?
When I tried it, it didn't really closed (locked) the backflow preventer valve, and all air went out from backflow valve.

I was running it at around 40 PSI, and was scared to increase the pressure so as not to damage sprintker heads.
Ended up paying someone $60 to close it for me.

I do at 70 PSI with the pancake-style compressor which takes forever to do 12 zones that's the reason bought this one. It will save winterization time significantly.
