Title: airflex mini advice
Post by: rycalshaw on May 20, 2014, 11:41:14 pm

hi, i currently use an airflex mini and i,m thinking about upgrading the 130 psi pump to a 200 psi, i,ve been quoted £500, my question is, would the extra 70 psi justify the cost of the upgrade..cheers

No, far better putting the money towards a Turbo or storm

Dick Turpin wasn't that harsh. You can do it yourself for far less, it's a piece of p*ss.

cheers neil, i have actually got both a envi e40 and a rotary, i,ve always rinsed with tap hot water,would the heater make that much differerence as they are also over £500, to be honest theres nothing wrong with the machine but as operators we,re always striving for that bit  more, good to see the super reds in your avitar  :)...

You would be better selling and buying a new one with 200psi and built in heater if it £500 just for a pump
