I suspect that after picking up a house (with requisite garage / workroom), I will be after an air compressor to refill tanks. I came up with this wish list:
- Rated for SCUBA cylinders with dehydrator (obviously)
- Electric powered - 120 VAC
- 5000 PSI
- DIN / YOKE connections
- Reasonably quiet (I will have neighbours I will want to keep happy)
- Portable <--- This is not a must have, but it might make for a good option when mated with my mini-generator if I go somewhere for an extended period.
The 5000 PSI would give me a bit of headroom over what I need (3500 for steel 120's), but I suspect that if you get one with just a rating of 3500 it will have to work a while to get it up there.
Would also like to use it for air powered tools and other non-diving related stuff so an attached pressure tank may become necessary as well. I know this will cost a few bucks, but with the amount of gas I burn and cost of fills it might be worthwhile.
Anyone else been down the same road? Thoughts, ideas, comments?
Cheers...
