This year is certainly moving fast. We are already close to the halfway mark and still there is so much happening around us. Only recently JAVAC have wrapped up a successful journey to ARBS 2010 in Sydney, have happily given prizes to our stand visitors and welcomed improved equipment to our product range. As you read on, we will also give you an insight to your vacuum pump. Do you know what it likes to drink? If not, you should find out. Knowing this all important piece of information can improve your pump performance and overall lifetime.
JAVAC were proud to be exhibiting at The Air Conditioning, Refrigeration and Building Services (ARBS) exhibition in mid April. Hopefully you were lucky enough to be there and chat with our team and learn about our latest products. If you weren't there you would have missed out on seeing our latest portable recovery unit, the XTR Altima, another step above our already successful XTRpro. We also featured the commercial recovery system, Reco GT, along with a variety of new hand tools aimed at the mobile technicians. Amongst our employees, Steve Davies, manager of the JAVAC U.K. division and John Campion from our New Zealand support office, were available for exhibition goers to discuss their needs and learn more about our company.
Then of course there were the ever popular and beautiful JAVAC Ladies. Stacey and Amy were a hit with everyone, happy to talk shop with customers and round up potential winners for the JAVAC GPS giveaways.

We had 5 lucky winners at ARBS, who all went home with a portable GPS unit. Congratulations to: Paul Palani from Aircons Pty Ltd Darren Johanson from Statewide Mechanics Robert Pearce from Airmaster Andrew Batge from Southern Air Simone Mercuri from Eastern Suburbs Heating & Cooling

Do You Know What Your Pump Drinks?
It is extremely important to operate your vacuum pump using the correct viscosity oil. Some people complain of poor vacuum, overheating and lack of lubrication. These are the top three complaints received by people who use the wrong oil or contaminated oil in their vacuum pump.
Could you be using contaminated oil?
Oil contamination is usually indicated by a poor vacuum reading, or oil with a grey/milky appearance. Should liquids accidentally enter the pump you must change the oil immediately.
Your JAVAC high vacuum pump is a precision unit, remember that oil is much less expensive than unnecessary servicing and repairs.
We take pride in every vacuum pump we deliver and ensure you of our long term interest in our products' reliability. To ensure your continued satisfaction, JAVAC highly recommend the following oils for each model vacuum pump:
VECTOR RD Series should operate with No.16 oil
DD/CD40 should operate with No.15 oil
DD/CD 75, 150 & 300 should operate with No.16 oil
CC Series should operate with Shark Oil
Shark should operate with Shark Oil
Minivac (MV2) ahould operate with Shark Oil
For more information or MSDS's on the above oils you can contact our customer service centre on 1300 786 771.
