Chapter 3:  Choosing The Right Airbrush Tanning System (cont.)

The most common form of misrepresentation running rampant in this industry relates to the proper sizing and duty cycle of the compressor. The misrepresentation taking place is not coming from the manufacturers, it's coming from the resellers wishing to maximize profits by including the least expensive, least durable units of the manufacturer’s line they happen to resell. Don’t misunderstand. I am not saying that these smaller less expensive units are not fully functional and capable of doing the job, they simply were not designed for continuous commercial daily use. Some have auto shut off capabilities, overheat shut offs, regulators with or without moisture traps, or combinations of features but are designed for intermittent use at best. The one thing they all have in common is heat build up. Heat is the compressors worst enemy. To add insult to injury these machines are located inside the spray room and are constantly bombarded with chemical over spray that turns into a gummy, difficult to remove residue when exposed to hot surfaces furthering the problem. Needless to say, the majority of these machines won’t last through the warranty period if used continuously day after day on a weekly basis. They may have a five-year warranty but try and send one back and see what happens. “ Sorry this machine was used for purposes other than which it was intended and will not be covered under warranty.” is more than likely the response you’ll get.
