Just my 2 cents. Sterling you can by a cheap compressor from Divers Supply in LA. They have the dive boss compress It is about 4000. It has a volume tank and fillers installed and use the Devair compressor. One tip when buying a SSA compressor you need to take in account you work rate(CFM reqirements), depth and pressure reqirements for proper operation of your regulator. You need a compressor that can hand all of this. Also please If you are going to be doing heavy commercial work Recreational Hooka compressor wont cut it. If you watch that show called swamp logger one of the guys on the show almost gets killed using a cheap hookha compressor when he gets exaust in his breathing air. Also be careful with the umplical construction. The air hoses the hookha systems are not for commercial use they kink easy and are not cut and chemical reistant.
I use most of the time an air control manifold with regulators hooked in to high pressure cylenders. My set up also I can hook in to standard scuba bottle. It is two valved whips so cylenders can be changed out by the surface support.
I would never ever use a hookah on commercial work!! If I get something I want it to be great quality and last years with out me worrying about dieing at depth.
