Review of two Solenoid Optimizers below. Do you think that the review of the Eclipse is fair?
Tapeworm
Style: Flow restrictor design
Relative Cost: Moderate expense.
Relative Performance: Top performer (along with the Solenoid Airflow Maximizer) in the restruictor style.
Description: This is an alluminum piece that replaces the plug screw in the air transfer passage in the front of the Impulse. It is easily identifiable by the small spike sticking out of the front by the valve cap. Available in colors. Internally there is a tube to direct the air flow toward the solenoid. Once installed you will need to increase your operating pressure to achieve the same velocity.
Eclipse Solenoid Optimizer
Style: Flow restrictor design
Relative Cost: Moderate expense.
Relative Performance: Poorest performer in the restrictor style.
Description: This is an alluminum piece that replaces the plug screw in the air transfer passage in the front of the Impulse. It is easily identifiable by the colored plug screw vs. the original ss screw. Internally there is a tube to direct the air flow toward the solenoid. This tube has a one-way valve and a filter. It is believed that the combination of these two cause the ESO to perform poorly. Once installed you will need to adjust your dwell and increase your operating pressure to achieve the same velocity.
