New to me Compressor and Tanks. Now what?

[Timmyjane]

I picked this compressor up today. It’s a Scott Simple Air. It came with 2 DOT 4500 psi tanks. No hoses or valves were included. Not sure where to go next. As this will eventually be used for just personal tanks I want to keep the setup simple and and cost effective as possible. I could use some advice on setup and where to purchase any necessary components. Thanks!

3 tanks is generally recommended for a cascade, 2 is going to be somewhat inefficient but doable. consider building in space to add on a 3rd/4th bank to futureproof and just blind cap it as needed in the interim

Need advice on building a cascade fill panel

Hi guys. Can't afford $2700 to $3500 for a fill panel. Can anyone help design a 4 bank cascade panel. & recommend a place to get HP fittings. I have 12, 6000 PSI cylinders thanks

That is funny, generally that's not what happens... it becomes a rabbit hole on the setup side.

On the compressor side it needs servicing. Electric supply. Fix,
oil changes filters etc...
You will be more simple to get tanks fill that the dive shop.
But you'll probably dive more if you have a compressor.

Nice setup though, have fun

My wife has already made this argument.
I at least want to see what it’s going to take. So far I’m only into the project for $174.
It was serviced last year. Doesn’t mean it doesnt need it now though.
I don’t know how to connect it all and get air into the actual tanks that go on my back.
