Others New to compressors Information appreciated

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

I don't know my math shots different

The Aluminum 80 cu ft (11.1 liters) cylinder is the staple of the diving industry.

So 6.8 would be a 45 cuft +/- ( call it 1/2 the 80)

Still that's not bad on that type compressor. I'd think pretty ok

Yeah I don’t know how they measure them it’s confusing. I just know the little cs4 fills the 74 cubic foot tanks easily and you have a lot of air. She tops off the small 18 cubic foot tank in 10 minutes from 2500-4500 even this is a lot of air if you have a gun that’s not air hungry.

It's not much pressure but volume.. that's what hurt these compressor .. I'm sure you can stage up a larger tank fill . Just can't let the poor thing run with it's tongue hanging out slobbering..lol

Yes but the ca4 is rated at 350 bar so it’s not even topped out sorry I’m starting to sound like a cs4 salesman lol but they’re so awesome I can’t help it.

Ya, there stuff is fine .. still if that ca4 can do a 40cf scuba tank in one go with out slobbering or foaming at it's mouth to do it I'll call it good .

Not at all slobber or foam. I have the Omega trail charger which is the kissin cousin of the ca4 and she works great. The new cs4 has the inverter built in which makes it even better.

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.

Depending on the humidity in your area you should consider using silica gel bear cannisters on your compressor inlet. I use two 1/2 liter gel bead cannisters in series on the inlet and I am in the AZ desert. I get very little moisture in the filter of high pressure air going to my SCBA tank but it does take a little bit longer to fill with the inlet air to the compressor being a bit restricted by the silica gel beads.

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.

He's talking about the air bleed screw. When you open it up for a second it will bleed the water that has collected out of the system and not let it get into the tank or PCP tank both of which are bad juju.
