I'm for sure looking forward to when this product is released and snatching up several of them right away. I haven't been able to get ahold of my local shop for a few days now and their answering machine is full Once they are gone i'm out of luck and won't be able to play anymore.

The compressor feeds linearly so you could put a timer on it and have it stop short.

Ha-Ha! See it never hurts to ask questions.
Here is a $16 solution>>>>

Another question, how much heat to the bottle do you anticipate during filling? (If any)
With the filling taking place so slow, I would guess it's little to none.

BOO-YEAH! I knew there's a way. That should eliminate the "oh crap, I left the 4500 psi compressor on my 3k tank...again" phrases. So, do you just plug the unit into the timer and "set it and forget it"? Now we just have to figure out how long it takes to fill to 3000 psi.

So, if it takes (theoretically) 4 hours to fill to 4.5k, then it would take 2.6 hours to fill to 3000 psi? Does that sound right?

A couple of questions about this then. Is the 4 hours based on a completely empty tank? So if there is already 2250 psi in the tank, would it only take 2 hours to fill? So if we were to fill a 3k tank and wanted to use the timer at 2.6 hours, we should completely empty the tank?

Well you really can not just forget it because these timers are set up to turn on at the same time everyday. But it works for me.

There may be other times out there more suited for this, that picture was found in a 10 second search.

Yes I am looking into offering a hose setup separately.

Tom - I have a lot of 4500 psi hoses. They are coiled and have 1/8" npt male ends. They might be too long as they are about 42". Let me know if you are interested and I will send you a sample.

If they are rated for 4500 psi then yes I am interested. Send pics first.

thanks

They turn on at the same time only if you put the "on" key into them, otherwise they are manual switch on, and timed off!

Tom, question about the shop compressors for you. Is there the potential for the oil in an oiled compressor to aerosolize in the compressor at some point and deposit in the HPA tank, leading to explosion potential when filled at a future date. Should oil traps be considered for that style compressor, or not necessary?

This was the exact question I was about to ask.

3k fills would be great for me as i'm filling my 4.5k tanks off my 3k scubas so being able to fill a scuba in 24 hours would be great as i would not have to drive all over to get it filled
