Best Low Cost Water/Oil Filter for Yong Heng Compressors

After researching all the low cost water/oil filters I could find I finally found the one. This video features what I believe is the best for the money. It can be found on eBay for $99.00 under the heading "PCP Compressor 4500psi Oil Water Diving Filter 300bar 30mpa L350.

[@MidLifeCrisisLA]

Got one of these compressors a filter like this a month ago, and was not sure how to set it all up. THANK YOU for this video. It is very educational and was fun to watch!

[@aabikrman]

Hello Aaron, thank you for the concise explanation. I recently decided to make the "plunge" into PCP's and decided on the Yong Heng compressor based on other reviews and maintenance information I found elsewhere. I just subscribed to your channel because you're easy to understand and you've obviously done your homework which saves people like me, time. It's not obvious to some that these high pressure air systems can be very hazardous if not properly utilized and maintained and these systems deserve lots of care and respect ! Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.

[@aaroncantrell8819]

Thanks. A bit of advice: never fill a tank to over 3,700 psi. I know of people ho insisted on filling their carbon tanks to 4,500 psi and the unit failed somewhat quickly. It is rated to 4,500 but remember it cost only about $400. So don,' push it too hard. Thanks and best of luck

[@drumbri]

Excellent thank you so much. I just bought my compressor two days ago and I have been looking for a video on this very subject. Very well explained and demonstrated. Blessings!

[@aaroncantrell8819]

I'm so thrilled to run across your channel. My target air rifle is the Hatsan Bullmaster in .22 caliber and want to get all the accessories and costs lined up before I invest. Currently using a break barrel rifle and really want semi action upgrade. This filter looks very useful and you sold me on the Yong Heng compressor. Thanks for all you do and still watching your vids. Homework always to come.

[@aaroncantrell8819]

Good choice, the .22 is the best all round caliber to have. If you are planning on carrying your PCP around for hours hunting make sure you check out the guns weight because with a nice scope and sling some guns can weigh over 10 lbs or more. Thanks and good luck.

[@woodypaq]

@@aaroncantrell8819 I'm checking into the P15 instead. Any source where I can buy that? I see it's a foreign sold firearm. And yes, I've heard the bullmaster is quite heavy and may need the installation of a moderator to keep the pressure constant.

[@aaroncantrell8819]

Here is where you can check the gun out. www.krale.shop/en/. some advice, a heave gun no mater how much you like it will become a pain when hunting. I had a Hatsan Gladius and sold it because with scope it weighed around 11 pounds and was not regulated. Thanks for watching and best of luck.

[@HomerJSImp0n]

I love you air compressors videos. I bought this to play paintball with others on private land. I’m not into PCP yet but I do enjoy your other videos and it has me interested in it

[@aaroncantrell8819]

PCPs are the best. Right now I would be going nut with the stay at home policy of the government but shooting and working on my PCPs keep me sane. Thanks for watching.

[@JeffreyADodge]

One of my favorite youtubers... just so straight forward and transparent. I literally feel like if I made a video it would be very similar. I'm not saying it would be the best but it's honest, no marketing BS, just how much can you get for your dollar, I LOVE IT! With that said, thank you again Aaron and I have the exact set up, just got this pump and filter, only have one PCP (heavily tuned) and currently shooting .22cal pellets one on top of another at 50fpe. no bs, I would love to show video, trow hammer tunes a kral real nice - it's not my credit - I've spent quite a few hours tuning and analyzing. anyway, off topic. thank you Aaron, love all your videos and I feel you on how much love this sport. I hope we can meet up and shoot someday. Stay with it my man, I'm always excited to see your videos come up

[@aaroncantrell8819]

I think you should at least do a video on exactly how you tuned your Breaker. Lots of people like you have purchased that gun as their first and would love for you to show how to tune it. I am going to post everything I learn to do with my Urban because lots of people have made that their first or second gun. I think that if anyone who has some knowledge or information, especially on low cost PCPs ,,that they should share it if possible. Thanks for watching and best of luck.

[@JeffreyADodge]

@@aaroncantrell8819 Troy Hammer of Annihilator Airguns did the full tune which includes upgraded cocking lever, upgraded trigger sear and polish, Deadblow valve modification, hardended valve stem, highly modified transfer ports and power adjuster, slingshot hammer and anti debounce, dual hammer spring, quiet kit suppressor baffles and air stripper, and some other tweaks. I asked for a gun that would shoot 36 shots (3 mags) at 45fpe. It came close to that and only cost me $285 shipped - the gun cost me $450 and I had it direct shipped from pyramid air to his home. I had the gun back in about 3 weeks. Since then the hammer spring settled and weakened some but Troy sent me replacement springs right away and an additional spring that he installs in the .25 cal guns that upon some initial chrony testing is shooting 28gr hollow point bow tail slugs/bullets at 900fps and shooting the 25.5gr JSB Monsters at 960fps - this is a very accurate speed believe it or not for this pellet and a ballistic coefficient of between .045 and .051! I've taken things apart to do more polishing and done a bit of chrony and target tuning but everything else was done by Troy. check him out at annihilatorairgunsandtuning.com/

[@dwight3188]

Hello Aaron, great video. Most large scale desiccant & molecular sieve dryer systems in industry have 2 vessels with pre and after chamber Flo filters. Most all have inlet water & oil separaters that somewhat limit dessicant bed contamination. The oil/water flows to a timed drain tank.They use dry air from the drying chamber to reverse flow the saturated vessel moisture to atmosphere to dry out the bed for the next cycle.. Of course this occurs at a much lower psi ie 100-120. I will order one of these dryers as you suggest and remove the dess and mol sieve and dry it out in the oven. Your the first KZbinr to explain that if the drying chamber isn't allowed to dry, it is useless.

[@aaroncantrell8819]

Thanks you for the idea of using the oven to dry the sieve and the idea of a pre filter before the chamber filter I know it will help with the oil problem but I am not sure if it will for the water problem. However I am going to look into it. One thing I am doing it turning on a dehumidifier in the basement where the compressor is kept and not filling the tank until the humidity is below 40%. Thanks again for all the information. Keep me informed if you come up with any other great ideas when you get your filter. Best of luck.

[@danhattersley6213]

[@phillipmendiola1257]

Very nice review on that monocular sieve tube , that will keep your fill station air dry and your pcp airguns free of moisture and oil , my yong heng compressor has a moisture beading valve on the left side and the main pressure bleed valve on right , when filling your tank you can blead moisture as your compressor is running every 3 minutes , AWESOME VIDEO'S

[@aaroncantrell8819]

Wow I did not know that. I will definitely look into it. Thanks for watching.

[@CyclopsJoeVideos]

Great series on the compressor Aaron !! I'm gonna use your trick with the wet clothes on the tubing on my pump

[@aaroncantrell8819]

Good idea because the more you keep the heat down and the oil changed the longer it will last. So learn all you can to keep the heat down. thanks for watching.

[@thomasmuhl7340]

Thank you for your information about the Yong Heng Compressor.... I purchased one and added the additional molecular sieve protection as you suggested. Everything works great.... Again thank you

[@xtaxpayer1]

I was unsure which compressor to buy because so many of them are ridiculously priced. Because of your videos I purchased this compressor. Thank you.

[@aaroncantrell8819]

Put high quality hydraulic oil in it and change it often. Also keep it cool by putting damp rags on the two high pressure tube and don't push it to 4,500 psi when filling your tank. I find that following these recommendation will make the Yong Heng last for years. Oh yes, the filter is a good idea also. Best of luck.

[@taurbaby]

I have 2 of the chinese branded compressors as well as the air venturi model. As part of my filling routine i always purge my hoses for 10 to 20 seconds to allow any moisture or oil to be released prior to filling. Also i baby the compressors only allowing them to run for so many minutes and then giving them a decent amount of cool down time,especially with my small back up tank...and the large scuba tanks..well they get filled at the scuba shop(no point in making my smaller compressors work extra hard on larger volumes of air)....great video man!

[@aaroncantrell8819]

I agree that we should not over tax the compressor so I to only use it to fill my small tank to 3500psi and I take the big tank out to have it filled. I do everything I can to keep the heat down and am learning even more ideas on cooling. A question. I don't think I understand how yo purge the hoses for 10 to 20 seconds. Can you explain. Thanks.

[@taurbaby]

aaron cantrell i live in the tropics(hawaii)...i noticed that regardless of whatever air filter i had on my h/p compressor there was always a bit of oil/water in the line(probably because none of these compressors have an air tank)...so now i just turn the rig on for a few seconds without attaching the fitting to anything and blow out any water that may have condensated since my last fill. I also use this method as a way to tell if my filter needs replacing.

[@lastpro4438]

I purge it after a fill, so the moisture doesn't sit in ther. Also my new vevor compressor doesn't produce almost any water but that's because it's new. Hope it stays that way.

[@eddieb9110]

Great video, and I applaud you for looking into things as opposed to dismissing them. This is a real concern. Whether or not it ever manifests itself into a problem depends on a few things, but any time you are using compressed air for sensitive applications, filtering and moisture removal are almost always required. The best systems use air dryers that cool the air below the dew point to seperate te water from the air after any oil and contaminants have been removed by a micron filter. Carbon is also not a bad idea. Especially if you have chlorine tablets in your garage or something like that. High pressure in these metal tanks.

[@aaroncantrell8819]

Very good information. You seem to know a great deal about this subject. You should do a video. Thanks for watching and for the great input.

[@garystratton4125]

These are great pumps ..Had mine for almost 2 years now . Not any problems.. Aaron if anyone is complaining about these pumps it is because they have some kind of interest in the American made 1200 dollar pumps. Believe it or not.. this Yong Heng pump is twice as fast at filling my tank than the 1200 dollar american made pump. I paid 303 dollars for my pump and just like yours has the two tubes going to a separator and mine also has automatic shut off I can set .. I do just like you do...set my pump to stop at 4200 or 4300 instead of the max 4500 I agree with your advice .. really good. THanks and YES these are great pumps.....

[@aaroncantrell8819]

I just had a viewer call me a "So Called Airgunnner" because I keep saying how good some of these low cost it are. I told him that my friend purchased a Omega compressor for $1,900 and it broke after 51 hours. He has a Yong Heng that is still working great. I also told him that we so called airgunners are very happy when we can buy a compressor for $230 that work as well or better than a $1900 Omega and then spend the $1,670 saving on other guns. Thanks for watching and for your comment.

[@kraftzion]

Old video, but I see youare still active. I recently bought a molecular sieve, but I will be returning it. I have a condensation tower inline, that almost did it. The finishing touch was to add cooling to the vertical line going from the second stage head to the leaving line. I run a piece of 3/8 copper along the line, wrapped it with bare copper wire, and hooked it to my water loop. Just did my first test, the black filter like you have leaving my condensation tower was completely dry. I also use diester oil. The same thing they use for scuba tank compressors. Its expensive, but doesn't smell or carbon up the high side piston.

[@aaroncantrell8819]

The copper and wire idea for cooling is a very good idea as is your other ideas. Thank you.

[@terrynb12]

I have two in series. I left the factory inline cotton filter in place. Next I installed a moisture removal stage. It works by allowing moisture and oil to fall out of the air stream (gravity). It I installed before the dessicant stage. So before the compressed air even gets to the desiccated stage, most of the oil/water issue is resolved. Makes the desiccant stage last forever,

[@aaroncantrell8819]

Great job Aaron like I said in your other video you could also make a diy desiccant intake filter.

I just don't want to gave the possibility to ruin my $2000 + air rifles.

[@aaroncantrell8819]

As for protecting your 2000 PCP I understand not wanting take any shortcuts on the filter. I just took apart the air cylinder of my Wildcats that I have had for almost three years and i never used a filter. But when I opened it there was no moister in it at all. Surprising. However I will never fill it with unfiltered air again. Thanks for watching.

[@jackagain8346]

I saw this comment on Amazon from a guy using a similar filtering oil/water separator: "1 Year update: This is still working great. I have not had any issues and I'm still using the original media and cotton filter. In all honesty 95 to 99% of the moisture is trapped by the compressors mini cotton filter. I recently tore my Hatsan's tanks down to install regulators and while working on them I checked for moisture and there was ZERO. I even ran a tissue down the tube a few times and it came back perfectly dry." Also, you can remove the beads and desiccant and sun dry or oven dry them if they get damp, then re-use it.

[@aaroncantrell8819]

The info you shared is comforting because I have just trusting that the system work. Now IO know it does. Thanks for the info. Best of luck.

[@danielsegner5702]

Nice vid! It answered many questions. That system looks great. Hope you will show the final mounting on the Christmas tree stand. What a great solution. --- Also, do you see a need to place a similar water/moisture filter on the INLET side of the pump? I would think that stopping the moisture BEFORE it gets compressed may have added benefits...?? Would like to know what you think. Thanks again for the great vids.

[@aaroncantrell8819]

I have posted the tree stand setup take a look at the next compressor video. No need to place one on the inlet because there is not enough pressure to make the filter works. It has to just be on the high pressure side. What does work is keeping a humidifier set on 40% in you basement and doing all you filling there. Sometime the humidity can get as high a 80 or 90 percent in the garage or outside. Thanks for watching.

Use a silica ozone generator filter (Amazon $26.99) on the intake negative pressure side in conjunction with the tuxing filter on the pressurized side. It's tubular with blue pellets in it. Screw the screen filter on the intake side of that and it works great. Catches the moisture before it cycles through the pump.

[@chrislx2006]

Many people still use a hand pump to fill their guns, and most of those have no filtration at all (some do - but even my expensive FX 4-stage pump doesn't by default). Of course there's little chance of getting much oil in the system with a hand pump but water is always a concern. So using a Yong Heng (type) electric compressor together with a filter system has to be a better system than a hand pump for your guns and nobody is suggesting using a hand pump is a bad idea. Also, some sort of drying system on the input would help a great deal, it can be a large volume container of desiccant (it's not under pressure so easy to DIY a solution) and maybe a few Kg of self-indicating Silica Gel in a large plastic bag would do the job. Use large diameter (say. 1" ID) plastic tubing to connect to the input so there is little added resistance. It's something I'm going to investigate anyway, even if only half the water is removed that is still a significant reduction in the amount of water entering the machine in the first place. Lastly, first service you do on the machine just replace all the O-rings you can access with decent Viton seals, the supplied ones are rubbish, they will disintegrate and bits will be spread throughout the plumbing. Don't wait until that happens!

[@CaliforniaTravelVideos]

NOW YOU'VE GOT IT! Looking at your earlier video, I can see we've both learned from others the importance to have a properly positioned multi-stage molecular sieve to help keep water and oil out of our tank and marker/gun. Go get 'em!

I have pretty much the same sieve, the only question I still have is a valve for the top with perhaps a gauge so that you know the sieve is up to pressure before you start filling your gun or tank. The urban is back on Amazon for 199 . Ordering mine now.

[@aaroncantrell8819]

I am thinking that it will happen naturally as it rises quickly to match the pressure in the tank. I think that it's more important to have a valve on the bottom to blow out the water after filling. Thanks for watching, the advice and the heads up on the Urban sale. Best of luck.

Great vid, just one point, your inner from your vid is upside down. You show the carbon sitting against the foster end of the tube! That is the pump entry, should the pump entry not be against the cotton and the carbon last out? Thanks.

[@aaroncantrell8819]

It is set up for air to pass through the cotton first. So that it passes through two stages of cotton before engaging the other filtration parts. Thanks for watching.

[@letitride54]

I have that machine. I have three sate filter like the one you have in box.. can you install another filter before the pump, to keep the water out of pump? Also great video.

[@aaroncantrell8819]

Unless there is a leak in the cylinder then one filter should do it for keeping the water out. Thanks for watching.

[@dailykilluminati1310]

I used a handpump for over 5 years with no water filter. I opened the gun today and no rust, water or dirt. I dont see why the compressor will have the problem.

[@aaroncantrell8819]

Then you don't understand how compressors work nor understand the water and oil they produce during operation. Some advice, If you are ever around when someone using a electric compressor and filling a tank to 4,500 psi I want you to put a white cloth over hole when they depressurizes the fill line and see, fill and smell what is one it. Oh, and never compare a hand pump to any high pressure pump because there is no comparison. Best of luck.

[@patrickkropp6421]

Nice video. YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK. I do have to mention however you need to do a little more homework. Molecular Sieve and Silica Gel are both in the Desiccant family. They both take water out of the air however they do it at different rates at different humidity levels. At 10% RH molecular sieve desiccant can adsorb 15% of it's own mass in moisture. At 10% RH silica gel only has the capacity to adsorb about 5% of its own mass in moisture. So you would need 3 times as much silica gel to adsorb the same amount of moisture as molecular sieve! At 70% RH silica gel has almost 50% more capacity than molecular sieve desiccant. Also at 40% RH both desiccants behave the same. So in short depending on what your starting RH is will determine which desiccant is better to use. My suggestion is since you do not plane to use the Activated Charcoal the add equal amounts of each. Check this site out it was very very helpful for me when I was learning the differences. I copy pasted a lot of the numbers. It was easier than typing. www.flowdry.com/news/2015/10/silica-gel-desiccant-versus-molecular-sieve-adsorbent-which-desiccant-is-best.ht ***** PS, I use the same system without the Activated Charcoal myself.

[@aaroncantrell8819]

I fill my tank in my basement where there is a humidifier and the RH is always around 40%. So according to your information either will do.

[@rodrigoilabaca9419]

Thank you, excellent video Aaron, I have a similar system although it uses only fiber filter, my problem is that every time I use the compressor the filter cover tightens too much because of the high pressure that goes through the tube. Does the same thing happen to you?

[@aaroncantrell8819]

Yes it does and it can be hard to loosen. Try silicone grease on the threads to help keep them from sticking. Thanks for watching.

Great video,I’ve purchased this can you tell me does this have to build up pressure before it fills my rifle I have the nomad2 will it take a while until it starts to put out pressure? Thank you.

[@NHEFF09]

hi how do you rate the compressor?

[@stoner27th]

about being vertical, wouldn't the water vapor be pushed out (up) by the sheer pressure? by using cotton type, I found that the inlet side is way wetter than the outlet side. I wonder if the sieves could make them dryer, maybe I'll use two types of those tuxing filters

[@aaroncantrell8819]

Sound like a good idea. Thanks for sharing.

[@maxhegler1173]

The oil my compressor uses is silicon, I don't think it is flameble or explosive. Still, it may cause issues long term if it gets in the airgun.

[@aaroncantrell8819]

My instruction said to use hydraulic oil only. However if you use a good oil/water filter you don't have to worry about oil getting into the gun. Thanks and good luck.

[@thomass8362]

Arron, Can you tell me if you had to replace the female foster fittings that came on the hose with the Yong Heng or also the one that came on the hose with the oil water diving filter? The female foster fittings will not fit on any of my air gun's male foster fittings or my fill station hoses. the female fitting will fit over the male, but the ring will not lock on. I tried replacing the fitting on both hoses with a new female foster, but the threads are a different size and I have no clue what size they might be. It's frustrating because I bought the compressor, gold filter, desiccant and everything else recommended, but now I can't fill anything because of these odd-ball foster fittings. I just figured I would ask in case you ran into the same issue. Thank you Aaron and thanks for all your videos.

[@aaroncantrell8819]

As for your first question, I did not have to replace any of the attachment that came with mine I did add and extra male and female fitting so that I could take the hoses off both ends. I guess I just don't understand what your are saying because all the foster fitting are a standard size. I will admit that some are loose and go rights on and others take some prodding. Sorry I could not help. Thanks for watching.

[@tedcooper1905]

QUESTION on the order of filter stages: My air hose out of Yong Heng is always the first stage of filtration. Should I put in filters that remove the OIL first or do a mixture of OIL and WATER? My second stage is also a small 5" filter tube. I assume I should put this full of cotton and desiccant to go after the WATER. My third stage is a long black tube from Amazon with only cotton in it. I will replace that with half cotton and half coconut charcoal to go after WATER and ODOR. Would you suggest any other order for the 3 filters? I am also doing an input filter of desiccant to remove WATER before the pump begins compression. This is for a 0.5 L SPARE AIR tank for shallow diving. tjcooper

[@aaroncantrell8819]

I would recommend using the filter that came with the compressor as a first stage oil/water filter then make sure that the big filter has cotton first to take out the oil before it reaches the water filters that should come second. I would replace the charcoal with the water filtering agent of your choice because the charcoal main duty is odor and taste for scuba diving. But if you are going to go diving leave the charcoal. Just my opinion. Thanks for watching.

[@whatsyurprob158]

Where would you get one of those filters to do it? I'm getting one of these compressors in a few weeks, and I'm thinking about this potential water problem also. However, I have yet to see any videos of a Hatsan tank having any problems, and there tanks screw off n on. I've also heard of water getting inside of the rifle itself, but wouldn't climate be a contributing factor also? For instance, I live in California, and we have no humidity problem here. I wouldn't think in this climate one would have to worry about the innards of their rifle being damage by a little water that should evaporate soon enough. Still, I like your idea, if I knew where to get one. Hey! I'm brand new at this. 😳

[@whatsyurprob158]

@@22lr_plinking Actually, I think I just found one from Harbor Freight. Seems they're very common. I can get them 1/8", and yet plenty bigger in the size of the filter. Looks like up to 2". 🙂 That's a good idea, and I'm going to do it.

[@22lr_plinking]

whatsyurprob ? That wasn’t the one I’m talking about. Be careful with one from harbor freight most of the stuff there isn’t rated for this type of pressure. Their stuff is for shop compressor pressure these compressors we use for pcp are 4500psi so you need lines/fittings/filters for 6000psi ish

[@ovimatrix]

Hi, good job with the video. I got one of this for me and some one asked me a very good question. How often do you have to change the "molecular sieve" and "dessicant" from the filter ? And under what conditions it must be changed ? Ty

[@aaroncantrell8819]

I really don' know the answer to that questions as I just started with my filter. However, I am sure if you did a search on that subject you would find your answer. When I have had about a half dozen fill I will start searching for he answer myself. Thanks for watching and for your comment.

[@radman731]

Molecular sieve should be changed every 3 months. According to my mk4 hill pump. I just purchased my young Heng and this filter as well. So I would imagine to change every three months, depending on usage or any noticable moisture present

[@aaroncantrell8819]

I don't think this information is correct. What if I only use my pump three time in a months or even 30 times a month. You see where I am going. The only correct answer has to be in hours of use not days of use. So the real answer will be something like: it should be changes after …. hours of use. Thanks for watching and for the information.

[@radman731]

aaron cantrell I'm sorry, I was mentioning the dry-pac refills. Those are dessicant. Well the manual says to change those every 3 months, as soon as you open the pack.So I figured the same rules applies for the seive. Which I purchased as well. I bought the full molecular sleeve and the tuxing cylinder seperator you have here after watching your vids. I hope it's not hard to install and works properly, for me.There aren't any instructions and I noticed them displaying like a screw coming out, on one of the other ads on their site.So I would like to know the answer too. I went with the molecular seive out the gate, from AliExpress, just like you guys have mentioned. I think they are on holiday right now. But my tuxing "cotton" separator, should be here by the 25th and I'm going to run it then.

[@Wallyskat]

Aaron, I watched this and got to wondering why no one has done a dessicant pre-filter on the intake air to the compressor. I went out and looked at my Harbor Freight regulator (which does a great job of removing moisture) and scratched my head. I haven't taken the cover off the compressor (haven't even run it yet), so I don't know what to expect inside. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this. I can see advantages to this such as not adding more high pressure connections as well as keeping the moisture out of the compressor and therefore the air bottle. Thank you.

[@aaroncantrell8819]

I think you are wrong about the whole pre-filter idea. There is really no way to extract any meaningful amount of moister at the air intake. Only the pressurized air can yield any real moister. Go to any professional scuba shop and you will not find a single pre water filter at the intake. However you will see some serious filtration at the high pressure end just like in this video. Thanks for watching.

[@MrBottlecapBill]

@@aaroncantrell8819 Also restricting the air intake in any way could cause serious problems or at the very least lengthen fill times which means more wear and tear on the compressor.

[@nealtressler1661]

Hey Aaron... as always, a great video. I ordered a Yong Heng a few days ago, and I’ve been picking up info. One gentleman said that he put (3) of the small cotton filter setups inline...not sure how much that would help, as it’s only cotton, but it’s an idea. I will be looking up your filter system on eBay. Was thinking that with the filter system, I might build a filling station that will hold it all in place, including the tank .... maybe on lockable wheels ...🤔

[@aaroncantrell8819]

Hope you are having good luck with your Yong Heng. Did you end up building the filling station and the lockable wheel? Thanks for watching. Sorry I just saw your comment.

It won’t produce enough water to spray out the barrel but just a pin drop of water or oil. Under high pressure is enough to blow out your seals. It can rip right through them.

[@faintanomaly]

Does all this carry over to hand pumping as well ? Because if you need all this for pumping up your PCP with a compressor without getting fluids in the pcp how are we supposed to use handpumps without having the same moisture worries? or are the moisture properties different with the smaller hand pumping style of filling your pcp?

[@aaroncantrell8819]

Hand pumping is so slow that the temperature is not an issue and oil is not an issue. Also the minute moister should not pose a problem. So I don't think you will need a filter. This is just my educated opinion. Thanks.

[@faintanomaly]

Thanks Aaron, I value your input on this you’re the Artemis P15 Master in my book. i have one quick question, have you ever looked into a barrel swap on your p15? i’m from south africa and we can only get them here in .22 cal but i’m very interested in a .177 cal version that doesn’t cost a arm and a leg. we can get .177 here but they’re waayyyyy over priced in my opinion. would conversion of a .177 to .22 be possible? i know in your particular case it’s not a issue cause you have all 3 calibers but is this something you have some advice on?

Sorry i meant .22 to .177 so larger caliber to smaller caliber . as far as i know the internals for both are the same it’s just the barrel that chages between .22and .177

I replaced the burst disc but the pressure want go above 3000 psi and air is blowing out of the hole in the side of pressure gauge. Any thoughts/ suggestions?

[@aaroncantrell8819]

I have never had that happen. However I am sure the disk is 4,500 psi so how could it blow at 3,000. But if I recall correctly some extra disk came in the o-ring bag. Buy you can also get a Replacement 4,500 psi disk at a paintball/scuba shop or online. Best of luck.

[@sidneyeaston6927]

Forget the expensive trash the filter supplied is ample to perform the task of soaking up any oil from the compressor. the air should be cleaned and dehumidified before it goes into the compressor.

[@aaroncantrell8819]

Not possible to dehumidify the air before it goes into the filter without spending a fortune. I keep my compressor in the basement where my dehumidifier keeps he air at 45% humidity. When I had it in the garage the humidity could get up to 80%. As for cleaning the air before it goes into the compressor it comes with a pre-filter and that is all that is needed.

[@aaroncantrell8819]

Any good hydraulic oil will work fine so don't go overboard in paying too much for it. Thanks for watching.

[@lvstream720]

Just a pointer. For the people that are planning to use their Yong Heng compressor to produce breathing air. Besides getting the tuxing to purify air and remove its moisture. As lubricant,, dont get the Royal purple hydrolic oil. Get A food Grade hydrolic Fluid. ISO 46. I recommend the one from Renewable lubricants. Their oils are Non Toxic and Biodegradable. So no one should be using no other oil, than this one. If their intentions is to produce Breathing air. Btw, to purify the air keep all the tuxing components, as the order it came. Unless your target is for air guns.

Sorry, I don't know where to find the parts. I never fill my tank passed 3,500 psi in order to not stress the compressor too much. I think it will last longer that way. Just because it is rated to 4,500 does not mean it is good to do. When I want to fill it to 4,500 psi I go to the scuba store where they have a $5,000 compressor designed to really fill it that high.
