Re: Leak detector dye colors

Here is my take on leak detectors. Is it worth it to trust a lower-grade tool with the cost of refrigerant, and labor to repeat repairs? False-reports, unless you have a reclaimer on hand, will cover the cost of a quality leak detector. How many refills will it take to find tough leaks? See it where...

Re: Should I try control valve or just replace compressor

If you are in the US compare our price to what you might find online. We do nto have the discharge line. Find a better price item to item. Let me know and I'll see what can be done.

Stop buying the AC in a Can products.

Do yourself a favor and buy a set of proper gauges when doing your auto AC repair work. Knowing both low and high-side pressures is necessary to understand how the system functions!

Re: Leak detector dye colors

Santech products are a solid buy. CPS, Mastercool, and Robiair are also fine products.

Reclaim the refrigerant, vacuum it down, and charge it to spec before doing anything.

Thanks, Texas Dave
You are in my prayers. Please mend up quickly.

The board is lucky to have John and you. I don't have time to watch posts anymore myself.

They should look on Amazon for either Santech, Mastercool, or Robinair. Don't trust the off-brands as the good stuff is not much more.

Re: Noise after AC service

John, ACKits.com does not do international shipping. Freight is crazy as is for the US market.
