I SAID IT'S VERY NOISY.

Seriously, it's awful.

I have a ABAC 3hp compressor, the H&S jobsworth who visited us said i'm
not allowed to use it anymore unless I have it pressure vessel tested
every year so I thought I may as well replace it given the price.

The ABAC states 96db and it tolerably quiet indoors, the Parkside 97 yet
it makes you leap off the floor slightly every time it kicks in.

can you re-plum the abac's outlet to feed the parkside's tank?

i gather the abac is belt drive? as most direct drive compressors are noisey
beasts.

26 months used to be the upper time limit for pressure vessel
inspections (not necessarily a pressure test)

Has it changed?

Not that bad IMO. It's better than the crappy "Sumo" that it has replaced.
Just used it to spray the oil tank and it did a good job fast.
