Default Compressor for Iwata HP-CS

How much output / power should a compressor have to effectively run an Iwata Eclipse HP-CS?

anything really.......
from a 1/3 hp to 5hp.......
for airpressure
anywhere from 23 to 35 psi.....
just be sure you have a good air filter and water trap.......harbor freight has some decient ones....
some are more "Quiet" than others.....the more expensive ones are very quiet....
but can run from 350.00 to 2,200......

Thanks for the info. I've got a Harbor Freight 1/5hp compressor that puts out that pressure. I'm guessing it should work, even though it's a little noisy.
