All good suggestions thus far. If you are sandblasting there is nothing
short of a commercial unit that will keep up, so give it a rest.
Other things to consider...where will the unit be located? They are noisy.
Is it in a location that will freeze? If so, you need to be very religious
about draining water out in the winter. Might want to think about a remote
drain valve or locating the tank where it would be easy to get to the valve.
Not that you are going to crack the tank or anything, but if you have a lot
of moisture in the tank it can collect in the pressure release system,
freeze and break this unit (I know the hard way)
Also, if you are planning to run lines, use only steel or the proper high
pressure plastic (like made by ChemAir). Plumbing plastic can explode and
produce plastic shrapnel.
If it is to be in a garage attached to the house you may want to consider
rubber feet to reduce the vibration and noise transmitted to the house.
