Thomas Kasper Posted: Nov 24, 2007 10:04 PM	A-5 How much cfm does the Guardian A-5 need including the transfer pumps? I think the machine needs about 25 cfm. So you need somewhere around 30cfm?
Tim O'Keefe Posted: Nov 25, 2007 09:42 PM	Glas-Craft states 24cfm with the pumps at 1 gallon per minute in their system specifications. You would be best to get a compressor suitable for 30-40cfm or your will be running non stop. Good candidate for a screw compressor. Tim Granite State Spray Foam Co.

It has a continuous run valve so the motor does not stop and start all the time. This saves on the motor life. I got it from Eaton Compressor for a real reasonable price. I had a few bugs in the beginning but Matt, the owner, was awesome at working them out and even extended the warranty to 5 years. It orginally came with 3.

A call to the owner and talk with him impressed me enough to make that decision too. It would be nice if the parts were made in the USA instead of it being just assembled here but they are willing to stand by the product and the prices are good which is important to me right now.
