Hi All,
Hope you’re doing well, and thanks for all the guidance you’ve provided. Here’s my issue - I compiled an atomic set on eBay from a few diff vendors, got it serviced so it’s good to go, and had all the hoses replaced, but pretty much EVERY time I go, one of the hoses springs a leak (I mean there are perforations up and down the hose so bubbles spring out).
At first I thought maybe I bought a lemon hose (or two) but it happens ALL the time, often with my HP hose. I then thought that maybe since I’m renting steel tanks that are filled to 3500 the pressure is what’s doing it, but these hoses are rated for PSI much higher than that.
Could I have a broken first stage? I’m going thru so many hoses at this point it’s getting really expensive!
