Others New to compressors Information appreciated

[Dew]

I inherited a Kalibrgun Cricket and a Great White air tank from my uncle who passed away. Purchased a GX CS4 compressor and am wanting the groups opinion on my set up thoughts. I have a Tuxing Gold filter that takes around 4 1/2 minutes to fill. I purchased one of the one way valves from the UK that Mike recommended. I’m thinking that putting the one way valve between the filter and my compressor will let me bleed the moisture out of the compressor side without backfeeding pressure into my compressor? I would like to put an on off valve with a bleed valve on the upside of my filter so that I can fill my gun while keeping the filter full of air. ( Just for a particular shooting session not full time ). Am I over thinking this and should just fill my Great White tank and use it as my air source? Or is there a valve assembly that is rated for the pressures to accomplish this. I’ve looked at components to build one myself but would rather buy one assembled. Sorry for the long post I just want to get this right. Thank you Duane.

@Dew I think you’re overthinking it. Fill your SCBA tank using your compressor and fill your gun from the tank. From my reading I’m not under the impression that the GX CS4 is an HPA compressor suitable to fill a gun directly. I may be wrong here, but this is my impression. I do not, nor have I ever owned a GX compressor.

I have 2 compressor's and 3 bottles, I've probably tried every possible method of filling guns and bottles.

For the last year I simply fill my bottles and fill the rifles from the bottle. So simple and easy.

In the past I made filling so complicated just trying to save a few minutes.

Now, pour a coffee. Connect, flick a switch, sip coffee.

KISS.

Hey brother. Upload a pic of your setup I’ll try and help you out. I see your dilemma you’re not overthinking it . What you said makes sense to me.

The cs4 can fill scba and guns directly no problem. They’re liquid cooled. The secret is run 20 cool 30.

The cs4 can fill tanks that’s the beauty of them. I have the omega trail charger which is the same thing and I occasionally top off big tanks.

@PasadenaMike Please re-read my post that you quoted. When you say “tanks” and are referring to SCBA tanks then we are saying a similar thing.

@PasadenaMike Now I understand what you’re saying. I didn’t know if they were suitable to fill PCPs. Thank you for clarifying that. About how long is the fill time on a 480 cc reservoir from the GX CS4 compressor if topping it off from say 2500 psi?

To 250 bar I’m assuming ? Maybe 4 minutes. You can get one for $500 and some change with a coupon.

Mike. Here's a photo of what I currently have. CS4, one way valve on the input side of my filter, filter. Set up this way I can fill my Great White and can bleed from my bottle to the bottom of my filter. But can not fill an air gun with this set up as there would be no way to bleed from the rifle.

You should be fine with that massive filter just make sure you run it vertical with inlet air at the bottom and outlet air on the top. Even if you blipp the bleed screw you ahouldnt lose the air in the Tuxing because with the one way valve the Tuxing and scba tank are one until you bleed the scba tank releave valve.

Thank you to everyone that has replied I greatly appreciate you taking the time to help me out. It seems that filling the tank and then filling the gun from the tank is the way to go. As usual my pea brain tries to over complicate things .. is my big filter overkill for my set up?

No worries. If you’re filling the scba tank it’s good to have a moisture filter. Don’t forget to change the internal filter on the Tuxing once in a while. Gun direct fill I’d lose the Tuxing and don’t forget to not use the one way valve on gun direct fill it’ll lock in place don’t ask how I know if you have a large capacity air cylinder on the gun id blip the compressor say every couple hundred psi

Mike are you talking about the small filter on the air intake side of the compressor ? I was under the impression that I needed to filter the air going into the gun directly? Is this not the case?

 

[PasadenaMike]

No leave that be. When you’re filling a gun directly you don’t need the big Tuxing moisture filter.

 

[PasadenaMike]

Honestly if I could do it over I’d just have my omega trail charger and a 18 cf tank and that’s it. The trail charger is the same thing as a cs4 . I don’t really need the bigger compressor

I'm new to the lingo. What is "blip" the compressor? My compressor is an Omega Air Charger.

Ahha glad you asked I don’t even know if it’s airgun lingo but anyway what I mean by that is when you’re filling, while it’s running and filling grab the blended and crack it open for a 1/2 second or so to purge the moisture.

The cs4 can fill scba and guns directly no problem. They’re liquid cooled. The secret is run 20 cool 30.

The excellent cooling can achieve 5 hours of continuous work and can fill a maximum 6.8L gas cylinder. Note: For the first use, it must be filled with 500ml of neutral distilled water ( can not contain impurities such as minerals )or antifreeze ( maximum . Note: For the first use, it must be filled with 500ml of neutral distilled water ( can not contain impurities such as minerals )or antifreeze .

6.8 ain't much pony bottle maybe ..

Oops wrong chart line .. that's not bad ..

The cs4 is excellent and 6.8 is actually a 74 cubic foot scba tank loooots of air
