3GAL Arcylic Lid Kit

I purchased this for degassing silicone and it works great! Follow the instructions because it sounds like you can break the pump if not used properly. I used this multiple times a day for about two years without issues. The only reason I'm retiring it is because I needed a larger chamber. This ended up being a great starter unit that I could depend on for daily repeated use and I highly recommend it.

This is my first degasser- I've read a lot of reviews and seen it in action in various YouTube videos- If I was going to say anything about it- the glass top was very smugged up, the top didn't seem like a previous return but you never know- other than that it works good.

I had a bit of trouble at first since my order didn’t show up, but I have to give credit to customer service. They did worked well with me to get a replacement pretty quickly. I had it in hand within a day or two, which was super impressive. When I first started using the vacuum chamber, it worked pretty well. The pump pulled a good vacuum, and everything seemed solid. But after a while, the seal started failing, and air slowly leaked back in, which was frustrating. The pump itself is fine, but the chamber definitely needs a better seal if you want something long-term. I’m using it for making resin dice, and while it helped reduce bubbles, it didn’t get rid of them completely. I’ve since learned that I actually need a pressure pot for that, so that’s on me. Overall, it’s a decent setup, especially for the price, and the customer service experience was great. Just be aware that you might need to tweak or replace the seal if you plan on using it a lot.

Good quality for non professional use. I took the pump apart to check the build quality, and it looks very good, no burrs or metal shavings left inside. The hose is very good quality compared to other brands. The vacuum chamber seems to be as well built as any other, and I haven't had problems with leaks. I should mention, the oil it comes with is not very good. It creates an oil fog, which is bad to breathe and can contaminate your projects. I solved the issue by replacing it with TSI Supercool 46 viscosity vacuum pump oil. Seems to be the same viscosity, and solved the oil fog.

0 stars for this item. Product broke within 12 uses and has a design flaw. Pressure gauge goes through the lid and creates a massive weak point in the lid. Under pressure it creates spider cracking at the gauge stem and then blew up under pressure and is now completely unusable. Since I purchased the product 4 months ago, they have a new style and design that does not have the gauge going through the lid. It is now drilled through the metal basin probably eliminating this design flaw now. Tried to call company to get a replacement and phone number is not in use. Sent email to their support team and have not heard back.

I ordered the BACOENG 3 Gallon Vacuum Chamber Kit with 3.6 CFM 1 Stage Vacuum Pump HVAC back in September, the set up was easy and it worked great! It was everything that I needed & wanted. Well, about 2 weeks ago the pump out of no where started leaking. I contacted customer service via email and was responded to within a day. They asked to see pics of where the leak was so I sent those over. They asked that I empty, clean and refill the oil to see if it was still leaking. Unfortunately it still was :( They said they would send me a new one. That was on Tuesday and by Saturday I had the new pump on my front porch. I was so pleased with the response and help they gave me. And when the help didn't work they made it right. I most definitely recommend them to anyone!

Works great for what I needed to, but still can’t achieve a perfect vacuum. In my case that’s exactly what I need though so that’s fine it’s right below a total vacuum maybe 1 inch of mercury left of pressure. Compared to atmospheric pressure which is about 30 inches of mercury. (so it can achieve 1/30 of the pressure in the air which is enough for me, in my experience with it at least) Changing the oil is nice and easy

I'm loving this for removing bubble from epoxy resin. I did learn how to use this from YouTube videos. I don't know why they can't send clear cut instructions for the price paid. Anyways, after using it a few times I now have confidence in the product and I am not intimidated anymore. It is really good quality. I am just wondering why it leaks a little bit of oil around the cap? Hummm? That has not impeded the operation of the machine though. I did go ahead and buy more oil to have on hand as the bottle it comes with is just enough to fill to the operation line in the tank. Well packaged and shipping was acceptable from Amazon Prime.

No se si haya mejores marcas de estas bombas, yo la he visto en videos y funciona bien para desgasificar el caucho de silicón, en lo personal siento que debería resistir mas vacío, trabajé al vacío máximo recomendado y aún así siento que tarda demasiado en desgasificar. La olla de tres galones se escucha espaciosa pero ya viéndola y en el uso, termina siendo pequeña... no quiero imaginarme la olla de un galón
