Premier Vacuum Pump
The new Premier Vacuum Pump requires minimal oil changes or filtration. Thanks to its gas ballast feature, it prevents water from contaminating the oil. As a result, the oil remains clean and clear even after 30 or more batches. You typically won’t need to change the oil until after running 20 or more batches. In contrast, the oil in the Standard Vacuum Pump needs to be replaced and filtered every 4 to 5 batches (when using the new 3/8-inch vacuum hose).
Vacuum Pressure
The Premier Pump generates a deeper vacuum compared to the Standard Pump, both in cold and hot conditions. In cold conditions, the Premier Pump operates at .05 Pascal, while the Standard Pump works at .08 Pascal. Under warmer conditions, the difference is even more significant: the Premier Pump pulls a vacuum at .05 Pascal, while the Standard Pump operates at 2.05 Pascal.
This makes the Premier Pump particularly effective in warmer environments, where it remains unaffected by heat, pulling a consistently deep vacuum even in higher temperatures.
Noise Level
The Premier Pump is notably quieter than the Standard Pump, operating at 52 decibels, compared to the Standard’s 64 decibels. At 52 decibels, the Premier Pump is about as loud as a refrigerator.
Oil Mist Filter
Both pumps come with an oil mist filter, but the Premier Pump's filter prevents any oil spray and lasts much longer.
Power Usage
The Premier Pump consumes less power than the Standard Pump, using 187 watts compared to the Standard’s 218 watts.
Amperage
When operating under hot conditions and at maximum vacuum pressure, the Standard Pump draws 2.1 amps, while the Premier Pump only requires 1.7 amps, making the Premier more energy-efficient.
Weight
The Premier Pump is lighter and easier to handle, weighing 32 lbs. compared to the Standard’s 37 lbs..
Lifespan
The Premier Pump is designed for greater durability and will last longer than the Standard Pump.
