P0 as in P zero ? P zero is USA name for P21 ( Europe - Asia ) the most common filter/separator assy Bauer has. B Timer can work on it. It uses a clamp, so it is adjustable and only one model. It is limited to the models of filters which it has in its database. I used 5 so far. Two went dead in under 1000 hours. I use it as a timer only and not reference it to filter life. In a gas model compressor, which an hour meter need to be a vibration type . This B Timer is a good alternative.

In some Asian market, you buy a Junior, they give you free B Timer. Retail is US$500 here but to me its worth only US$100 if I were to value it.
 
Anyone know of a timer to get that'll just keep track on compressor runtime? Perhaps vibration activated? Like the B-Timer but a lot cheaper!
 
Those are pretty common. I use the TinyTach with our gas models and a simple hour meter for the electric.
 
The TinyTach works well for petrol powered compressors and something like a Kuebler works well for electric power Timer HR76 - Electromechanical - Hour Meters / Timers - Counting Technology - Kübler Group I use the Kuebler for my system, but you can get cheaper ones on eBay if you like.

I'm not a fan of the B-Timer either. I took a mates P31 into an engineering shop to have some custom fittings made and it sat on a bench for a week with lathes and milling machines running in the background. When I picked it up again, it had logged another 1000 odd hours from vibration. Nothing can tell you what you really need to know more than a TinyTach/Kuebler and a 10/20/30 Moisture Eyeball after each filter stack.
