G'day, My understanding is that there is a popular OEM of regulators in Italy and that this manufacture doesn't sell their regulators under their own brand. Various brands source 1st and 2nd stages from this manufacturer. This does not mean all 1st and 2nd stages from that brand are sourced...

Wow! Thanks for sharing. In many areas you've gone way further than I've been thinking of. My focus has been on some other issues like cooling. Plus my compressors have control panels in place, though now you've got me thinking that maybe they should be made redundant in due course. I've been...

G'day, Yesterday I started to write up the requirements for a compressor monitoring and control system for my dive shop. I have one compressor running now with a second about to come online and a third waiting to be installed next year. They're old Ingersoll Rand units each with a basic contol...

Thanks for the suggestion. We'll look into it.

Thanks Frank, I'll look into those options.

G'day, The drive belts on our Compair Reavell (Mako) 5406 compressor jumped off the flywheel and broke off ALL the 10 cooling fan blades. Does anyone know where we might be able to get new fan blades? In the parts manual they are listed as: Item G2 - Fan Blade - Red 10 per machine 5406 /...

That recall was on the original 1st generation thin Miflex high pressure hose in the USA only. In the rest of the world Miflex made available a fix for those hoses, but then launched a 2dn generation version of those hoses with the fix build-in. These hoses are still available elsewhere in the...

The DAN Alert Diver article titled 'Air Hoses: A Closer Look' has triggered some inquiries regarding material used in the construction of double braided flex hoses. We supply Miflex hoses and they ARE NOT constructed with an inner lining of Polyester-TPU. That material can undergo changes...

G'day, What is the right protocol for keeping the 1850 mAh Li-ion battery in the Nautilus Lifeline in good working condition? Should it be charged before use? Should it be stored only after being fully charged? Will not using the unit for 6 to 12 months result in battery issues? With some...

A mate is having problems with his Nautilus Lifeline. Software is up-to-date. Hardware: 1.00. Fully charged. Turn it on and it crackles from time to time. Maybe a bad squelch setting. It searches for the GPS coords and seems to get them. But it only displays the Latitude, not Longitude. Any...

DON'T USE TOOTHPASTE During the manufacturing process, a thin film of silicone and mould release agents will develop on the glass lens of your new dive mask. This film will cause rapid fogging that is resistant to conventional anti-fog measures. It is important to remove this film from the lens...

G'day, I'm in Victoria, Australia and I have a second-hand 15CFM Ingersoll Rand HP Compressor powered by a 10 HP 7.5 KW 3-phase electric motor I'm currently trying to get running. Well we've had it turning over okay (and even in the right direction) but we still have a few issues to work...

In the same room. Air conditioning that room isn't an option.

Thanks everyone. I'm certainly getting plenty of food for thought. Please let me clarify a few things. We already fill as slow as is practically possible so that divers get the best fills we can provide without them having to wait more than 30 minutes all up. So we don't try and fill at a fast...

G'day, Sure I expected the obvious answers of "put more air in" and "fill much slower". Both are easy, but impractical. If you're already normally filling cylinders to the max pressure allowed so that customers get nice fat fills, then "put more in" just isn't a safe option. Certainly...

Well doing this is certainly problematic with a higher risk ogf getting water into cylinders, and that's why we've always preferred to avoid doing this. ---------- Post added June 25th, 2013 at 06:13 AM ---------- We do that too for the divers that this works for. But the majority of people...

G'day, When the temperature is in the 35 to 45 deg C (95 to 115 deg F) range here on busy summer days the dive shop compressors work very hard. The result is very hot air through the whole system. Even though diver's cylinders are filled to a safe high pressure, later they cool down...

Could you please tell me what voltage is used for the motors on these two compressors?

Budget: ProDive 3-day trip is a good choice. They go to the outer reef off Cairns. Boat is typically half full with people doing their Open Water course, and the rest certified divers. Would be a good chance for you to do your BSAC Sport Diver or PADI Advanced Open Water training. I did this...
