Every car owner has a car pump. Any car needs periodic pumping of the wheels, and without a good pump this procedure is impossible.
What is a car pump for
Any wheels wear out over time. It depends on many factors, including ride parameters, road quality, temperature changes, and so on. Tire pressure gradually drops and needs to be replenished.
Some time ago, car owners actively used mechanical pumps. However, such tools are rapidly losing their relevance, and they are being replaced by electromechanical compressors. This device relieves the car owner from the need to do physical work, and also copes with its task much faster than mechanical counterparts.
The most popular car compressors are piston models. They are much faster and more powerful than membrane ones. The compressors are powered by a cigarette lighter or battery.
The main thing is to buy the right model. There are a lot of offers on the market, so it's easy to make a mistake and buy the wrong pump.
How to choose the right pump
Electromechanical automobile pump is a rather complex device that has a lot of varieties and characteristics.
You need to pay attention to the characteristics of your vehicle before purchasing. These parameters include wheel size and pumping frequency. A standard model is suitable for almost any car, which develops power up to 7 atmospheres and has a capacity of 20 l /min. For SUVs, more powerful units are needed, the performance of which is about 15 indicators higher. If you regularly drive off-road, then you need a compressor with a capacity of up to 100 l /min and a power of about 10 atmospheres.
Compressors also have all sorts of additional functions.
Correct use of the electromechanical pump
During operation, you need to control the indicator of the manometer. This is necessary in order not to miss the moment of complete pumping of the wheels and not to pump them over.
The pump must not run more than specified by the manufacturer. This can lead to early wear and tear of the compressor.
The tool does not need to be hit, dropped, or transported carelessly.
The pump must only operate in the position recommended by the manufacturer.
