I agree, but unless one is not torching, I can't see a time where the tank will be at max pressure for days at a time with a phantom. In such a case, the entire system will be turned off.

If the tank will be at max presure for hours, and the compresor and/or oxycons are off, then there is no way the system could be at max for hours unless the torch is not running. If the torch is being used, once the tank pressure falls below the prescribed pressure (less than a few hours with a 30-gallon tank), the system fires up again.
