For those new to this type of compressor. That unit there goes by many brand name stamped onto it nothing wrong with that but you should know. Now the most important thing is just because the packaging states no oil or water needed you must still do pre maintenance and even a partial rebuild down the road relative to how often you use it. These run hot so us in the pcp air rifle world have learned not to push it. Sure it can do up to the 4500psi in a 0.5L as stated in the manual. We recommend running it up to 7 or so minutes Not 10 not 15 but around 7 or 8 minutes a session. Depressurize the line and w/fan running let it cool back down to room temp. Keep any metal to metal moving (talking about the bracket from the motor to piston rod) greased. Consider this a very light duty compressor and with some TLC you may get several years out of it. My first one was D.O.A and had to be replaced (metal to metal very nasty friction sounds) the one bearing on the motor bracket adapter was not properly greased or aliened. Have fun Be Safe high air pressures are no joke.

I use one of those cheap yong heng compressors on Amazon. Haven’t used it a lot yet but works fine. Just gotta give it a break once in awhile. It has the same filter setup as the compressor in the video but with only a fiber filter. That’s definitely ni enough so I bought two of those 12 inch filters that have refillable cartridges. I use the fiber filter first then daisy chain a 12 inch half full of silica to remove moisture. Other half is 13x molecular sieves to capture any fumes from the compressor and I believe they also capture carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. The second long filter has is 1/4 full of more moleculer sieves and the rest activated charcoal. Air comes out with zero smell or taste. You can also buy a cheap foundry to reactivate the sieves and charcoal but haven’t tried that yet. I’d recommend to anyone using these small cheap compressors to upgrade the filter setup.

Although the compressor it neat, I don’t think it’s practical. They say the compressor uses 280 Watts and runs for 20 minutes to fill the tank. About 23 amps running on 12V, using 8 amp hours per fill. Most car batteries are around 50 amp hours, only a few fills and hard on the battery. The filter media costs $50 and lasts for about 50 fills. Not sure how often they recommend replacing oil but it costs $30. Probably adds a couple dollars to each fill. The worst part is the price. It costs over $1000! For that money you could buy a aluminum 80 and a spare air. Use the 80 to fill the spare air and pay a dive store $10 to get a over a dozen fills on your spare air. No compressor repair, no oil changes, much less possibility of breathing bad air, and cheaper. The 80 also holds its value much better or use it when you upgrade to full scuba gear.

I dove last week with someone who slings a 6cf spare air which I found ridiculous until I saw his low sac rate. He can get five minutes from one unless you account for duress maybe adding some additional breathing requirement. I suppose it's reasonable to a handful of people as a better than nothing option. The majority of divers would be much better served with a larger pony bottle. The mini integrated scuba systems are only good for certified divers who want to do three minutes underwater for some reason. (Getting something off a boat propeller?) They seem dangerous for anyone else, though I don't know of many reports of related issues, because it required a bike pump in the past. The ability for the untrained to refill them easily and put themselves or their families in danger only exacerbates the issue of misunderstanding pressures near the top of the water column or trying to extend a free dive by holding a compressed air breath.

The best thing I would use that compressor would be for car tyre inflation and that mini tank would look slick as a argon drysuit inflation bottle :) And one more point here: I saw a couple of vids on these toys but this is the most dangerous to put up there. What is your sincere opinion about you doing this: You are promoting a compressor + tank + reg to the wide untrained world.Why a dive store would not fill your tank unless you put cards on the table and check your tank inspection? Why a dive store would never rent regulators to uncertified divers? Why rebresther companies will not even sell you a rebreather unless you prove you are certified or during training? Than why do you accept these companies and this one specifically. It is like " we will sell everything for someoane to be able to kill himself very very fast". I refused to show to my father-in-law how to use dive gear because I am no instructor and he is uncertified. Would you? Really curious on your argument here. Do not get me wrong , I admire you a lot and you have some pretty good info in most of the vids but I really do not agree to what are you doing related to these products....They are dangerous and there are a lot of stupid people in this world. Just and example: someoane will fill that tank with that compressor near the car thatvhas engine running, not drainingvthe battery, and will put some carbon monoxide inside that tank. After that that person will take that underwater...

I know about hookahs but do not compare. The hookahs are used in conjunction with a dive operator or some of them, which are very dangerous for non divers, are a floating gas engine with a tube that goes to the diver. But this "pony" is ridiculous. With the hookahs the out of air is less probable, at least with a full tank and engine running , but with this... 5 breaths and you are out and in panic. I hope I will not get the chance to read a death report on DAN about these..... Yes they are on the market for some time but they were coming with a hand pump and after pumping 1/4 of a cylinder everyone would have thrown them away , but now with a chinese compressor? with no proper filtration? I knew a guy who was breathing from a oil contaminated cylinder. Imagine what happened in 3 years with him... We had an accident in our country with 2 "specialists" that were in the water with less than minimal equipment. Imagine what happened to both in 3 meter water. And now a complete filling and barely minimal diving apparatus is being sold to the wide public... crazy times. Accept and agree with these??? Let's go back than to the J-valve and no SPG or computer.. it's much safer. I strongly think that the international safety organizations should put a ban on the sale of these. People back 20 years ago were much more careful with their lives and used to read the manuals, now almost 80% don't even bother tacking the manual out of the pouch. Come on what are we talking about. Have the agencies do a pony diving intro course and yes, than it would be great. I see divers first time in dry suit, uncertified for dry usage, that put 25 kg of lead on them... and they at least have an idea about diving procedures and diving dangers. When accidents will start to arise because of these chinesium products the entire diving industry and diving community will be put in a really bad light, regulations will become absurd, and so on... and why?

hard to understand who will buy it? some amateur without proper training :-/ ? if you need spare air in case of emergency, buy a tank and refill it from your tank after dive or ask staff in dive shop or use handpump with twenty minutes of excercising :D ... if you have your own boat or swimming pool and need to do maintance you will definitely choose some hookah system because you need work more than few minutes. If you want to use it during snorkeling for something in the deep you will be limited too. Maybe it is possible to fill larger common tanks after looong time, but does it worth? fill tank with air costs 5 USD .. Alec you are great diver, the best diving youtuber, you made hundred short videos here and explain almost everything in excelent way here. Thank you for this, but ... pls don't do videos like this.

I though so too about who would buy it then my researched showed a LOT of folks buy these. Maybe like Christmas fruit cake, buy it, take one bit, put on shelf for 20 years but they do buy it.

Yes I have a spare air that I fill from a full size tank. But I have an interest in the mini compressors. ;)

If one doesn’t have a large compressor, this would do the trick for quick adjustments on the first and second stages or for checking performance after doing a service on your regulator set. All my regs are pre- 2000 and are simple enough to do myself(contrived). This would work for IP and breathing checks on 1st and 2nd stages. 🤷🏻♂️

Hi Mr Alec how are you can you fill the 80 tank in same compressor ?
@AlecPeirceScuba_SeaHunter Жыл бұрын
This is rated for 2 Litre size tanks. A 80 would be a looooong time but there are more efficient and faster solutions to regularly fill 80's. A

Why did you not do an air quality test on the system? Send it in for analysis? What is the time to to fill an 80 cf cylinder? Did it die trying to fill a 80 cf cylinder? You were marketing this set up, seems you are? You are not Really telling what we need to know or was that the point. Market this system.....

The largest size tank the compressor is rated for is 2L or 10 cu/ft, and 80 would take a loooong time. As for air quality, if used right for short and shallow no air test is needed. I'm not marketing this, note there are NO links in the description to Amazon or the maker. This is information only. Thanks for watching U.M.

How long can you run it for before it over heats
@AlecPeirceScuba_SeaHunter Жыл бұрын
The compressor has a temperature monitor to stop when too hot. Manual does not say what temp is too hot. A
