You -don't- use much air so you bought a 24scfm pump? Um, OK.
PS... we have two air presses. We don't use them very often, but when
they're both in service at once, we max out that 24cfm pretty easily.

Hunt around for another tank with a blown compressor on it and use the
tank for reserve air. It makes a huge! difference when using air
intensive tools. If you dont want to fill it up every day..simply put
a valve on it and leave it turned off until you need it. Open the
valve..let her fill and voila!

Ive installed 500 gallon air tanks in shops just for that reason and
its worked out well.

500 gallons pfft... The Amish farm up the road has 3, 1000 gallon air
tanks on the roof of the powerhouse. They use air for the water pumps
and some other uses. The powerhouse itself is a block building about
12X12. Inside it there is a frame with a Yanmar diesel on one end and a
powered shaft down the middle. To those rails are mounted a BIG air
compressor head, a vacuum pump (for the pot milker system), a cooler
compressor head for the bulk tank, and a couple of GM alternators for
charging the batteries used on the buggies.

Nice!!!
