- Elitech SVP-7 HVAC vacuum pump review. I go over the Elitech vacuum pump, how it works and what features it has. The vacuum pump in the video is a 2 stage 7 CFM 3/4HP unit with a digital display, built in manometer, and can be hooked up to a phone via bluetooth. Overall I thought it was good pump, worth holding on to. Here is a list of some of the products Elitech offers:
7 CFM Vacuum Pump: amzn.to/3uG6mrb
Refrigerant Leak Detector: amzn.to/3uG6mrb
Wireless Charging Weight Scale: amzn.to/3fX0V30
Digital Manifold Gauge Set: amzn.to/3s27SCd
Temp and Humidity Data Logger: amzn.to/2Q6r2cM
Vacuum Chamber that I used: amzn.to/2PMB2Z7
Air hose does not come with it. The one in the video is a 2ft piece of hose I bought at a local hardware store. (ACE)

Hey Jay, you have covered so much with AC tech and trouble shooting, I think vacuuming various objects would be cool. Great videos.👏👏
Thanks Natester! I think I will go ahead and make that video then 😄
Jay, you are half my age and I trust you like you were my Grandpa, thanks for all you do!
Always watching from philippines sir! God bless and more blessing to you channel! By the way that vacuum pump is awesome!
Thank you! I appreciate you watching and commenting! Glad you liked the pump, it had a good first impression on me too. 😄
God bless you and yours and may your channel prosper as well!
As always, great video. Very instructive.
Thank you Fernando!
I learned something from you again. Thanks, Jay.
I knew about the gas guage arrow though 🤔😇
Glad I could show you something new! And it turns out many people actually knew about the gas gauge arrow... I guess I have been living under a rock 😅😇
GRACIAS 🙏 it’s so Fanny ..I just got the same vacuum pump yesterday !! But I still in the HVAC school !! Thank you GRACIAS For all your videos!! I can wait to see you in a video working with this pump!!
If I get the opportunity soon, I would love to make a video with the pump in action! Hope you like yours and good luck with school! God bless you and yours.
que tal te salio la elitech??
any updates, how do you like the elitech vacuum pump?
Hi Jay, great video as always. I just want to let you Know that I have learned a lot from watching your channel. As a newcomer to the HVAC. you channel has been my quick go to. you have a great way of simplifying some topics and making them easy to remember. How is Hawaii compared to Minnesota?
Great video, love your channel!
Thank you! Good to have you here! 🙂
Love your your vids bruh . You are smart
Cool video. I definitely would like to see other items inside the vacuum chamber, and I find it very informative when you explain the science behind why objects react the way that they do. A link to purchase the vacuum chamber would have been nice too.
Thank you Ken! I think I will make a video with other items after all since it seems like there is some interest :) I wasn't going to explain why the objects react the way they do but you are making me reconsider. Perhaps I can add the explanations at the end of the video for those who are interested or add in a voiceover. Is there anything particular you would like to see put in a vacuum? And I appreciate the link suggestion! I added the vacuum chamber link to the description: amzn.to/2PMB2Z7
I'm knew with it thanks for the video
Thank you
Thank you for video
You're welcome! I appreciate you stopping by!
Hey word of advice tv, would you happen to make a video of all working component power measurements? for example like the flame rod and it being 4-6 milliamps. thank you!
Thank you!
You're welcome! 🙂
Nice toy for you, do expect to use it to get back in HAVC
@kkovler It is a pretty nice pump, I will be keeping it for any jobs that need a vacuum. But as for getting back into HVAC, the way things are going now, I don't think I will be going back to full time HVAC work. Cryptocurrency trading has been a lot more interesting and profitable for me. I will be investing more time and money into that.
Would you possibly be able to show us how you recover refrigerant from a unit?
I love my vacuum pump but like to know other thing I can do with it
Has anyone used one of these pumps out in the field? How durable are they, what's warranty like?
Another awesome video thanks for sharing.
Do you recommend this particular vacuum? I ask you this because I have been looking around other vacuum pumps such as Fieldpiece and honestly that’s one of my favorites, but this one comes with the microns gauge built in.
I am looking forward to read your opinion thanks.
Hi Jose! I cannot give you a good answer since I have not tried this pump on an actual unit yet. I am not sure which Fieldpiece pump you are looking at but I believe both pumps should have similar performance. Just pick one that you like more. Look at the specs of each pump and decide what you prefer. For example:
Fieldpiece: 5CFM
Elitech: 7CFM (should be slightly faster and more powerful)
Fieldpiece: 31.0 pounds (this one weighs less so should be easier to carry around)
Elitech: 37.7 pounds
Fieldpiece: Has 4 different port sizes
Elitech: Only has the one standard size and would need an adapter for any other size.
Fieldpiece: No "bells and whistles", a plain pump that has a good track record
Elitech: Has a digital display, micron gauge, and you can hook up to it with your phone.
Etc... Choose what will work best for you, depending on what you prefer and what you need. This Elitech pump had a good first impression on me so I will be keeping this one for myself but I have never had a Fieldpiece so I can't tell you anything out of experience about it. I've only had Yellowjacket and JB pumps in the past.
Hope that helps. Good luck!
Jay, thanks again for doing these kind of videos, very useful,I've subscribed your channel many years ago, when you were not in Hawaii, 🙂 I actually also bought this unit (12 CFM though) as well and tried it recently. The one thing I am a bit unsure about it is the leakage level, which the manual says should be between 0 and 100, and also said that the number 0 means unknown, I am confused about this indicator, should one try to achieve 1 or 10? a number of 100 certainly is 100% leak, 0 is unknown, are we trying to achieve somewhere in between? I've also send the same question to Elitech but has not received any response yet. Your thought on this will be much appreciated. Thanks.
Thank you 🙏 for awesome video 👏and May God blessed you 🙇♂️
You're welcome! Thank you for watching and commenting. May God bless you and yours as well!
It is nice
Do you need to filter the intake point to keep the pump clean and safe?
thanks for the video. my name Simeon Y Williams I am from Liberia west Africa and I'm a R&A technician.
Residential I could see this as an option, but as a commercial service tech for years, hauling this thing up an extension ladder onto a roof, and keeping that large digital display from bouncing off the side of the ladder and breaking it? I'll just keep the micron gauge in my digital meter where are least it is lighter and easier to protect.
That is actually a great point! Thank you for pointing it out. I didn't even consider the fact that the screen could easily get cracked... Will need to add that to the list of cons 😅
Looks like a nice unit . The touch screen works great with clean fingers, let’s see how well it works with greasy fingers 😂 like the real world. Maybe a stylus is in order??
P.S. There are still some drivers that think that “E” on the gas gauge stands for ENOUGH 😂.
Haha I suppose with greasy fingers I would have to go back to stabbing the screen huh? Lol, I should have tried that..
And oh man! Those folks are in for quite the surprise 😂😂
Woo-hoo!!
Lol, aloha from Hawaii Aaron!
Sir please sugest me pressure washer for split ac servising.how much pressure need for coil cleaning
The fins on those coils are very flexible so using a power washer is not a good idea. It will bend all the fins which is not good. Using a regular hose nozzle with not too much pressure is all that is needed. You can even cap the end of the hose with your thumb instead of a nozzle and that will be good enough.
@@WordofAdviceTV but in my country no any customer want servise without pump.what should i do.please advise.
Hey brother I’m thinking of getting that vacuum joe did you like it
Great little demo Jay ... Seems like a good vac pump ... What's your status as far as doing HVAC/R work on the big island ? Would make for some interesting vids ...Thnx ...
Hello Eddy how is trixie doing? I lost my baby boy bigfoot Monday morning oh man it hurts it's like soul cancer knawing at me.
@@davidmckinney6577 Sorry to hear that David ...It always hurts so badly to lose them ...
@Eddy Thank you Eddy! We have moved twice already since getting here and my wife has had some health issues so HVAC work on the Big Island has kept getting pushed back. But I do hope to get some videos out later on (although sorry to disappoint but the units here are pretty similar to what I would see in MN so nothing too exciting 😄 )
Buying a house we like on Big Island isn't as simple as I would have liked but hopefully we can buy one this year and get settled in. Renting and moving every 6 months or so isn't something we would like to continue doing 😅 I trust all is good on your side of the country, stay well and have a great week!
@@WordofAdviceTV sorry to hear that your wife had some health issues, still remember that she was helping you making the videos to benefit many viewers of your channel, she did a great job, I like to thank her very much! best wishes and speedy recovery.
What is good vacuum pump ? Fieldpiece or this elitech ?
Are you working ..are you going still in ac industry in hawaii
i know this has nothing to do with ac but i was wondering why i had to put a jumper on my thermostat from rc to rh to make everything work
Rc is power to cooling and Rh is power to heating. On many thermostats, the hot wire coming from the furnace will only go to one of those terminals so the jumper needs to be added to provide the power for the other one as well. I am sure they could have designed that better but that's just the way it is..
@@WordofAdviceTV thank you for answering my question. I enjoy your videos you are an excellent teacher.
I love your videos!😊 I like the fact this vacuum pump had a built in micron gauge. Great. Question, is there a vacuum pump that can also do recovery in refrigerants? If so, could I get the link on Amazon, thanks.
Thank you! As far as I know, there might be something like that out there (vacuum and recovery in one) but I have never seen one before. It would probably weigh around 100 pounds so it wouldn't be very convenient to lug that around.
Vacuuming random things sounds like the opposite of hydraulic press channel. I Wonder what would happen to some playdough :)
I have a feeling there wont be much of an effect but I will add playdough to the list :)
Do it I would like to see you vacuum some different things
I was just filming that today 😄 Hopefully will get it edited and posted by Saturday
Do it do it do it I want to see
Haha when you touched the water and said it was hot I was thinking "hwat?" You were about to erase a few classes of knowledge
Is this pump dual voltage????
No it is not. It's 110V/60HZ
The holding feature was not explained
It would be interesting to see what would happen to an egg. Cook it like a hard-boiled egg in its shell. lol fun stuff
Egg has been added to the list 😄
@@WordofAdviceTV This takes me back to when Microwaves first came out. My friends and I just had to cook an egg LOL Cracking me up ha ha ha Cool stuff :) Ty
Haha nice! My brother tried microwaving an egg and the explosion caused the door to fly off the microwave 😂
Would you recommend this vacuum pump?
Brother, I haven't used it enough to be able to give you a real world review if you know what I mean. I rarely use a vacuum pump as I don't do installs so I wouldn't be the best person to consult about which vacuum pump is best. 🤷♂️
Thank you for your time....
Thus pump seems legit… but what happens when it rains … a lot lol
What do I look for in a vacuum pump? Reliability, time is money and there’s nothing worse than wasting time. Also need a pump that is rebuildable
Why does he say the water is hot in the beginning of the video?…. If the water is boiling in a vacuum the water will be a colder. Perhaps sarcasm that I missed?
Gadgets are cool but kiss is best.
The way I was taught eons ago was to separate the vacuum pump and the vacuum gauge.
Put the pump on the one port and the gauge on the other.
True system vacuum reading instant readings when you blank off.
Everyone does it different.
K- keep
I- it
S-simple
S-stupid
😂🥃🥃🍺🍺🍺🏌🍇
Stay safe.
Retired keyboard super tech.
Wear your safety glasses.( nice demo tho)
Your way sounds like it is the right way 😄
I always appreciate the input of a veteran tech! Thank you!
right, the gauge should be placed the farthest from the vacuum for the most accurate reading, but the gauge on the vacuum self is also good (I think). The best thing probably is having another gauge at the other end and read both, but the catch is that more equipment connections more chances of leak.
that vacuum pump is so slow to go below 50 micron even when nothing is attached to it. yellow jacket or cps makes better quality pump than this Chinese one
It would be fun to make a comparison video of a few different brands and see which one operates the best/fastest. Although in the field there are other factors like the length and diameter of the hose that make a big difference too..
Do you have any comparisons/reviews along these lines? I want USA made v-pump but having a hard time getting any real comparison info
having the micron gauge at the pump will not give you accurate readings. Having the micron gauge as far away from the pump is best
Hello Jay ✌️ good buddy 🤙 well Jay I lost my baby boy bigfoot Monday morning its been a long rough week for me loosing him feels like a thousand bee stings to the heart ❤️ so not good.. he bloated up big Thursday from the new dog food that wasn't supposed to bloat him but it did and he aspirated into his lungs before I could get the bloating out of him so he got pneumonia Friday and I had him on antibiotics for it and my vet gave me liquid albuterol to dialate the blood vessels in his lungs so he could breathe better but it didn't help much he got worse and Saturday night he had a fever and I sat up with him all night and I got his fever down and I just slept on the couch above his bed so I could watch him so I slept maybe a couple of hours and I woke up and he was laying there just looking at me like he was taking in my image for memory or something so I jumped up and got down there next to him and I offered him a drink of water but he turned his head he didn't want anything so I just sat down next to him and I was petting and talking to him and he was breathing normal and all of sudden he stopped breathing and he closed his eyes tight and I gave him a little shake and said his name and he opened his eyes and took one more breath of air and he closed his eyes again and it was over with I tried to revive him but no luck I knew that it was coming just a matter of time but it hurts beyond enough words I can string together and say little Arnold was right by his side and saw him pass away and he has been So depressed like me he didn't want to eat for two days after he slept by his body for the few days I had him in here he wouldn't leave his side I had to keep him up till the casket and vault came in I ordered so I did some preservation work on him and he never changed but when I was getting ready to crank down the lid for the last time little Arnold jumped up to the side of his casket and just looked at him and sniff him and he would take the little paw and rake it across his nose he always did do that so bigfoot would lick his face and ears Arnold would just stand there loving every bit of it but anyway when he saw me close the lid with him in it it has scared him he later would pace the floor looking for him and he still does I can say hey Arnold you miss ol bigfoot and he perks up and he thinks he is here and he will start searching so I I don't say anything to him he has been following me every step since he is gone I think he is scared that I was going to put him in the big container. Bigfoot was forty two inches long I had to get a big one for him and vault because I wanted him protected from the elements it's hard jay when you have a close buddy like him for fourteen years and then they are gone I'd give everything I own to have him back but it doesn't work like that take care of yourself buddy and from me and Arnold and the late bigfoot we love you all
Wow David... Really sorry to hear about Bigfoot's passing.. That is rough. I can't imagine how you felt and feel through this whole process. It is sad that you weren't able to bring him back this time but I remember how he almost passed away even before Christmas. I'm glad he was able to pull off a miracle and stay with you this long. I think you were the best owner any dog could ask for so he was fortunate to spend his life with you. May God bless you with peace during your time of sorrow and comfort you in your loss. I don't know what else to say in this situation.. Sending you our love and support from Big Island, along with a virtual hug. Hope the pain will subside with time. Take care of yourself and Arnold, we will keep you in our prayers, stay strong!
@@WordofAdviceTV thank you so very much for your prayers and support 🙏 my friend's..it's very hard to have to go on without him he was the Boss I have to keep going for Arnold Lord knows I love him just as much as bigfoot.. bigfoot was in very bad shape my vet said that his lower half of his body was pretty much dead it has blood flow and was ok in that part but he had no muscles they wasted away and his stomach muscles didn't work is why he bloats up every time he eats anything he really had a miserable life I kept the pain down to I think a good level but I'm sure he hurt more than I know he did it really hurt him not being able to walk anymore poor ol fellow he would raise up his upper body into a setting up position but he couldn't walk and finally he got to were he couldn't hardly do that and I would set him up and prop him up with stuff on each side of him and behind him so he wouldn't scoot backwards.. he took a big piece of my heart that I will never get back I wish you all could have met him especially when he was still on foot walking he didn't act like a dog I was blessed with him and Arnold.. little Arnold is lost without him I can tell he still looks for him and he doesn't want to eat little Arnold was spoiled by bigfoot Arnold would walk over next to him and set down with him and Arnold would take his right paw and touch bigfoot with it so that bigfoot would lick his face and ears.. arnold was spoiled in all of my pets through the years I've never had dogs like them before I would love to give everything I own house and properties just to have bigfoot back I don't know we're we would live but I would be happy but it doesn't work that way you know..one thing makes them so special they have been with me good times and bad they both were with me when I lost my daddy ten years old in fact yesterday was my daddy birthday. I just don't know what to do buddy me and Arnold are out on the porch swing swinging tonight he seems to be deep in thought as I am.. I'm glad I was able to put bigfoot away good I wanted him protected from the elements of weather.. thank you so very much jay for being my friend I really appreciate it more than I can say you are a very good man and I love you all very much thank you buddy 👍
I may be a bad comforter but at the very least I am happy that I am someone who you can share your story with. It's nice that you still have Arnold with you to keep you company and partake in your grief. They say time heals so perhaps with time you and Arnold will get used to the idea of it being just the two of you now. All that will remain are the good memories. “When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure”
@@WordofAdviceTV that is a beautiful thing you said about the memory and treasure..I'm a sentimental ol fellow I know that a day won't pass for the rest of my life that I won't think about bigfoot he was so special much more than a dog he and Arnold I was extremely lucky to have been blessed by them I sure was.. yeah I'm no good at comforting but I think you are better than you think you are Jay. You are a pretty awesome guy 👍 buddy you had to be pretty awesome guy or I wouldn't have taken to you like I did I know that you were a genuine good soul the first time I watched your video believe you me if I could adopt you I sure would buddy 👍👌🤙✌️
That pump SUCKS, Jay! 😊
Lol, that's probably a good thing in this case 😂
What you are calling the oil fill port is NOT the oil fill port read the manual
Look. You just proved that outer space is not a vacuum.
Did I? I didn't even realize it 🤔
@@WordofAdviceTV as hvac contractors we’ve also proven that heat transfer in a vacuum is fantasy as well. Anyway. Must be amazing living in Hawaii. ICP/Baker distributing sent my wife and I to Waikiki beach a few years ago.......we loved it.
How?
