The C2 designation in the Castair industrial series indicates a larger, slower-speed pump compared to the C1 — the C2 runs at lower RPM, which means quieter operation and longer pump life at the cost of a slightly larger footprint and higher unit weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the base horizontal C2 model without a factory-mounted starter. Like all Castair industrial units, the pump is all cast iron and designed for continuous shop service rather than the intermittent duty cycles that consumer and prosumer compressors are rated for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eC2 vs. C1 Pump: Why It Matters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the Castair industrial lineup, the pump configuration number indicates the pump size and speed:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eC1 pump (I713HC1):\u003c\/strong\u003e Runs at higher RPM — lighter unit, smaller footprint, lower price point.
