Omega Omega turbo compressor 2 years of ownership

[Northeastbeast]

I figured it was time to give this compressor its props and the service Todd at omega gives. Ive had this compressor 2 years or more now and have close to 50 hours on it. It has filled my several SCBA tanks along with a few of my omega 100cf tanks with ease. The compressor just works.
I did find a way to keep it a bit cooler well running. I popped the side panel off the left side of the unit and rigged up a box fan to pull air through the system. It works great and keeps it nice and cool well filling my tanks.
Ive only had one tiny issue sence new, that was one of the small water pumps went. One phone call to todd at omega and he over nighted the part and walked me through replacing it and flushing the cooling system. Great guy.

If you're in the market for a good compressor, one costing 2k or more look at the turbo. It tops off a 100cf tank in about 10 minutes. That is fast and if you have to fill multiple tanks no worries. Ive topped off 3 or 4 tanks back to back to back with out the unit over heating or needing a break. Its a huge step up from the Gx Cs2 personal compressor i had been using. Not that that compressor was not great because it was. I just needed something for filling tanks as i typically blow through 3 or 4 each range session.

You for sure want to use a external Moisture filter to save yourself unwanted headaches down the road. Omega makes one that is amazing for a bit under 300 dollhairs. I went with the Hill Moisture filter and its been great, so far so good no leaking or issues. If you have questions about the unit ill do my best to answer. If you're in the market for one dont Hesitate you can not put a price on Air Independence.

They sure do. Ive been really impressed with it so far. No issues to speak of really. Lots of hours on it. She dont over heat. She does produce some water but you'll have that with all of them.

Yeah absolutely. The moisture system works great at keeping water out off whatever you’re filling.

I fill my Ghost and Revere with a Hill hand pump that has the front end moisture removal...and to be on the safe side....every other fill or so, I point the gun straight up so that if there is any liquid water in the bottle or plenum, it will move through and out of the rifle as I dry fire it several times...

Oh man you hand pump your premium stuff? That’s like putting 87 octane in your Bentley. I’m sure it’s fine but just the thought of it gives me anxiety. Actually if you purge every once in a while I’m sure it’s fine

IF there is any liquid water in the rifle...pointing it straight up (based on thier design) and dry firing will remove it...I have yet to see the dry fires indicate that there was liquid....The Hill drier beads color change...and I stay on top of them.....the amount of shooting I have been doing is increasing so a compressor is probably in the future...which is what brought me to these discussion.

Yeah as long as it’s providing dry air and it’s working heck yeah keep pumping it’s the cheapest form of air. No power needed. I hand pumped a while.

And at least the exercise from it has purpose

i have a buddy that wanted one of those but they where out of stock so he went a differant direction.
i think he is still planning on one.
so what does the cost add up to by the time you get a water trap and or fillter that works on one?
do you need anything else or just something to deal with the water?

Compressor was around 2200 dollhairs but you can catch on sale sometimes and get 10% off with free shipping. A good filter can run 150 uowards of 500 depending on what you use as there are several brands out there. Id avoid the ebay filters and just spend the cash now for a good one. All in all 2400 you can be air independent and rocking and rolling.

I use a hill as well, the Mk5 with predryer too.....Loves to blow through o-rings and I treat the blasted thing better than my rifle. ONLY fill it in the house which has dry air 52 weeks a year. Lives in my bedroom. I only fill for 5 minutes at a time straight, Bleed it a little and take a break and then restart. Use plenty of quality silicone grease/oil on it. etc. Ever rebuild yours yet Tec? I open bleed valve and check the floor area for moisture and there never is any. I sleep well. Plan to go ghost in spring. Not looking forward to filling the 480cc but definitely doable.

I got the .22 Revere and pump in Feb22...the Ghost in Sept...and I am have had zero issues with the pump..still original O-rings. I use Super Lube on the shaft about every 5th time I do a 200 to 250 pump. I check that the plastic collet at the bottom is tight prior to pumping..it seems to like to unthread itself. I just happened to have count my the last fill.... Pumping up the Ghost from 195 bar to 255 bar took 150 pumps (13 just to fill the hose, 480 cc bottle)..and I break that down into 50 pump sets to give the pump some time to cool off...When I bleed the pump down to disconnect I don't feel any water coming out ...which would be a sign that it's time to change the drier beads if I did...
