G4,
Do you have water blow out of the pressure relief very often when you release the pressure?
After using the dry pack here in Ohio for about 8-9 months, I started to get some water blow out so I knew it was time to change the dry pack.
I had gone through 3 AF pumps in short order before I upgraded to the Hill. Hill indicates the dry pack keeps the moisture out of the pump it prevents wear of the o-rings.
I recently screwed up the Hill by leaving it with 2000 PSI and sitting by a heat register for several days. I wouldn’t work after that. I have the rebuild kit but the Hill diagram wasn’t very good but Hill provides a much better one. It took a while to figure out which of 3 types I have. Then,
I had a problem and couldn’t get one of the check valves apart so I just cleaned the black grease out of the check valves the best I could. That got it working. I think the heat register caused the lube to plug up the check valves. I may try white lithium grease for the lube until I can get something better.

I suppose it depends where you live? I bought the pump with it, didn’t think it was that much, and the refills are cheap to and could probably be found under a different name. I got it because I figured if our air compressors can fill up with water, so could the rifle tank, I could be wrong on that. I think I’ve read people say yes and no. I see you live in FL, I would buy one, but thats me.
