As Summer reluctantly embraces we aviators of the north, my latest dilemma involves my Bauer 7,000lb compressor that I've used for years to fill my sc uba tanks. Regrettably, it has decided to ride the pine. (It was no surpris e...I noticed it spending considerable time after curfew with some RV guys. ) Anyway, I can't even find a shop that will consider options for repair, a s apparently these high psi compressors are beyond the scope of many techs. A suitable replacement would practically necessitate a less-informed versi on of "Breaking Bad" on my part. I was just wondering what options are out there that I haven't considered or thought-of. 'Not fond of the ol' bi-week ly trip to the dive shop to fill up. Thank you for any input!! Tailwinds, healthy mags and tight pneumatics to all!!

How tight is your air system? I may fill my scuba tanks once every 6 months. Now I have noticed that if by some freak brain fart the I left my main air v alve partially closed that by the end of that week of said brain fart, my ma in system will have leaked down to 1 ATM. Seems brain farts are becoming mor e frequently these past few years. Just hope the brain farts and the compres sor stall grafts don=99t merge anytime soon. If so I=99ll be shi tting and forgetting where or why!

They will rent yo u a dry, compressed air medium (called a =9C200=9D) size or larg e (called a =9C300=9D) size tank which they will typically excha nge for a fresh tank when you need it. Usually they will pick up and deliver . I found this better than driving to the scuba shop for refills. Hope this helps.

I found an adapter online that connects to the scuba bottle but they already have them for their scuba rescue team. They fill my scuba bottles all the time for me.

I have two of them which I use for shop air in testing overhauled actuators, valves, etc. I paid $250.00 each for mine, found then on the internet.
