well here's a word of advice to the thinking types, I too had several compressors and even staged the things to run a DA sander on a boat hull I was given and could never generate enough air and would have to wait and wait, but 
A light went on and i was so stupified that's redneck for slapping myself, guy took some fairly new hot water heaters plugged the holes with plugs staged the things with a manifold and a petcock drain system and was able to use a 3 hp compressor set up and with the extra air storage never ran out of air, now thats thinking like a working man, I never considered those w/h tanks are pressure tested to 175 psi oe better when built, but boy when you need air they make perfect storage tanks, just saying.........red423

i tried this setup on a set of powell aluminum wheel halves. i have a big ind. compressor. the air nozzle from H.F. doesnt pass enough air thru it. i switched to an old air nozzle i had with that blew a lot more air,worked much better.the 7/16th plastic tube need to have something on it to adjust the amount of soda coming thru it. this setup needs more air and less soda but it did do a decent
job. make sure you clean the crud off your parts real good before blasting
