Q:

Who has experience with Dive Compressors

I know this is not the best section for this but I know all the players here so please humor me !! I am going to be doing a crap load of testing shooting and practicing this summer as well as maybe supporting a son and a friend with tank filling and I am seriously considering a bigger compressor. But because of that I have a few questions that play into the consideration.

#1 I have been lubing my F8 every 2 hours on the clock as recommended and when it needs to start filling big tanks instead of guppys that will be multiple times per fill, Are you doing this ?? or will it survive longer runs, I’d like to think I could turn it on a go away for longer periods of time if it were to stay as my primary machine and not babysit it so much. This would make it plausible, I don’t mind half lifeing o-rings if it will survive a good while at a time. Maybe not even a consideration due to speed, I’m not sure.

#2 On the dive compressors in the $3500 price range, is there a clear !! single choice like maybe Bauer Junior or Coltri or Nardi ??

#3 A good friend commented he does not fill tanks to the 4500 psi limit to save wear and increase life on his new dive compressor, do you think this is a consideration, I believe him but would like other opinions too, I am guessing he was advised of this buy the seller but I’ll ask. I want 4500 psi fills for sure !!

#4 Do these compressors take a lot of maintnance such that buying from a good dealer in ultra important ??

#5 Obvious question is there any deals out there ?? Who would you buy through ??

Thanks,
Doug…

hey ride i bought an airtex 4500 compressor a year and a half ago and love it, i have about ten hours on it now and thats filling my airhog tanks as well as my buddies it dont take long at all when they are down to 3000 or so psi maybe ten minutes to top one off i think the filters need to be serviced at 100 hours or so if its breathing air i could be wrong mine has worked great and the owner of the company is an airgun nut too his name is bruce dodson,if you need any more info send me a message,,also it looks like i will probably be adding a 30 cal eddie to my collection soon.
