get them hydro'd before you do anything else. If they pass, which they should, you should get them tumbled, or do it yourself. Plenty of stuff on internet on do it yourself tumblers.
New to me fill station. Working through the issues.

sorry i just realized i was looking at middle of thread and my suggestion was already covered. Good luck with those!
Next time get an X65247. Same filter, less expensive. Who told you the X53247 had silica gel? I've been a LF dealer for a very long time and don't recall silica gel in that cartridge.

You are right and I am wrong. I have read many sources of info and I must have picked up that bit of malarkey along the way. Thanks for pointing it out as it sent me off to learn more. I will also follow up on your suggestion of using the x65247. Is there really no difference?

Just the label and price.
OP
I purchased a used nitrox stick. I need to purchase a 1" hose to connect it to my compressor. The clear pvc hose I found smells so plastic it makes me ill. I can't imagine pumping my air through it. Perhaps the carbon portion of my filter would clean it up but is there a preferred type of hose for this use. This is the type with the reinforcement strands but the clear unreinforced seems just as stinky.

Color me jealous.

I have seen pictures of your dive wagon. Put that together with actually living someplace with good diving nearby and I'm the one that is jealous. Just not enough to move from paradise.

If that's with a brand new filter, I'd be concerned it would go out of spec during the filter change interval. My compressor comes back with <1ppm when I test it just before the filters are changed. Maybe I'm too conservative, but I am always mindful of who's breathing the air from my system (me, that is).
Where is the pressure maintaining valve plumbed in? Before or after the filter stack(s)?

With a Rix SA6 compressor and hopcalite in your filter I am surprised you are finding any CO in your air.
