What type of Air

[clubby]

Hi Guys

Looking at getting a scuba tank for our team, I have no prob with the Tank nor the fill station. but I was just wondering if there is specific code for the compressed air we use for our markers. I am going to BOC to get my supplies and there are two grade Industrial Grade Gas Code No 052 and Industrial Grade EHP Gas Code No053.

Any help would be appreciated.

C02 or HPA?
HPA is just regular air that you breathe.

just get the food grade CO2, bottle with black stripe down the side

Sorry talking about HPA.

Its just compressed air.
You will need to ask BOC what the difference is it may be one has been filtered and is cleaner, this would be better for your tank and gun.

BOC wont fill customer cylinders..

You'd be best to go to a dive shop, my fills cost $5 and there's no questions asked other than " Are your cylinders in hydro ? "...

I would forget the hassles of BOC or Air liquide and just go to a dive shop...

( It doesn't get any cleaner than breathable air from a dive shop.. )

hi clubby

buy your dive bottles for a dive shop you dont rent them and they fill em as well (you cant rent and exchange them like co2 ones form boc)costs around 7 bucks to get one filled and you do have to get them tested once a year costs about 40 bucks

Thanks Guys

I will hit my local dive shop and see how much it will cost. I just did not where to get the Compressed Air filled from besides the skirmish fields. That is if they even provide that service.

I was not too sure if there were different type of air besides the pressure.

I appreciate all your help...

Where are you using your marker besides the skirmish fields?

He's asking about getting HPA from places other than approved fields.

I've not seen any fields over here in W.A. with an onsite compressor ( other than Xtreme in Malaga ) that offer HPA fills other than when the tourney air trailer is bought in.. it's been a while since I've played recball.. so I'm interested - does any local field in W.A. ( other than malaga ) have a compressor on site for HPA ?

Yeah Euk, WASP has had their 4500 compressor for bloody years, first field I think to offer this pressure constantly in W.A :thumbsup:

the small bauer ones are about $5600 and will take about 7 minutes to fill a scuba tank and come either as petrol, single phase or 3 phase. The ones double this size are $10,000. Not cheap eh.

[HenryG]

Thats a killer cost thanks for the info

I must of paid for the cheaper one. It plugs straight into my marker, 7 to 10 mins is about how long it takes to fill to 4500psi :)
