Hi

I am Looking at setting up a new Guesthouse Based Dive shop in the Maldives and need a Compressor - Mid sized approx 40 tanks Max per day I will fill 200Bar (3000psi) , min 2 whips (prefer 4 whips), Prefer auto Drain (but manual will work) - I don't need all that Moisture detector or Electronic Bits (usually they Break in places like the Maldives).
Electric Stationary Type Compressor.
Prefer Bauer or Coltrisub as they have dealers in the Maldives so easy for spares and Service.

Any and all recommendations Appriciated
Thanks mark

I bought a new Coltri/Nuvair MCH13 Electric 5.5HP compressor recently. It produces 8.9 scfm and is perfect for lower volume small shops. I purchased it from RCS Coltri Sub High Pressure Breathing Air Compressors from Ray Contreras Sales and Ray took care of me very well. He has consulted with me everytime I had a question with increasing the pressure switch or adjusting my OPV. I have since added a hyperfilter, a bank of four 4500psi bank tanks, and an ever growing set of control panels :)
 
There is an algae eater fish called the Plecastimus that is found in a LOT of home fish tanks. It will grow to fit the size of the tank that it is in. If you put it in a bigger tank, you get a bigger fish.

Home compressor systems are a lot like the Plecastimus ... they tend to grow to fill the space that is allotted. If yours is in the garage, you better start looking for another place to park your ride! :D
