Thank you all for the comments and interest in this new AndyMark product.
We have exhausted our efforts to get the right pump for the FIRST community, and now are experiencing the pressure to deliver. This work has been done during a compressed amount of time, over 4-5 months.
When we first put out the CFM numbers, I calculated them incorrectly, so the numbers were off. Also, I didn't update the Viair performance numbers, so their comparative analysis was not right. The previous Viair numbers were during a 13.8 volt test from Viair.
I put up an example on how the flow rate was calculated on each page (
Viair and the
1.1 Pump).
As Billfred mentioned previously, we will test any reasonable pump on this same bench test. I *might* have an old KOP Thomas. I don't have the others. If you send them to me, I will test, post the results here, and then send them back. Put a note in the box saying "pump test" and give me your return address. Send to "AndyMark Pump Test, 2311 N. Washington St. Kokomo, IN 46901". Heck, we may even send the pump back with some surprises.
Yeah, there is a plastic inlet filter included (in the box) with the pump. It's just not on the picture. I will ask Brett to take another pic.
Hmmm. I will investigate Richard's test and see what we can do. Since we have a few things going on around here these days, I may not get to this very soon.
Thanks,
Andy
