So I assume you have such a convoluted set-up because you fill bigger tanks or at higher pressures, correct? Or, obviously, both.

Wait, hold on... so if you have a one way valve, means the air only gets in, without getting out, correct? Damn... does that mean I could've used something like this on the compressor I showed you and still use the gold filter? Because I opted out of the big one thinking it was too much for the...

I come with updates, as the compressor is almost here! Even though it arrives from a warehouse in Europe, the process has been... well, I guess it's time to move on. So, couple of questions, as per usual: 1. how do the filters remain fully pressurized if they do not have a PMV attached to...

Opening the bleed valve 0.5 seconds every 5 minutes, correct?

Thankfully it is not the case, mountain region here so it's cold most of the time, even during blazing summers.

Aight, I ordered it, it only has its filter and that's that, I was getting way too wound up about the different paths I could take so I just went with this one... I'll keep you posted once it arrives and I can have the first fill. At this point, whatever happens is better than mulling over it...

With the basic cotton filter (or I could add a secondary small one and just run 2) or the big golden one with desiccant inside?

I live in Italy, center of it, really, guess Southern would be accurate; the connection from the tank to the rifle is as follows (photo attached as well): the HPA tank has its own regulator, but it's not enough, so on top of that I applied another regulator, then from that one it connects to the...

I'll have to do that once for sure, since both of my tanks are empty right now, but the advice I've received so far is that the golden filter (the big one) would be a super bad idea to run with the compressor I've linked before (Tuxing TXET062) because it would double the fill time (not an issue...

Alright, I got it now, everything seems to be fine and I think I am ready to operate, except 1 aspect: yesterday I was firstly introduced to PMV, which maintains a certain pressure on the filter (e.g. 2000 PSI); if my filter, the golden one, which is pretty big, doesn't have a PMV, is it...

So the release valve (apparently it's only one) should be opened 0.5 seconds and then closed every 5 minutes of runtime? Got it. Also, what is this "purge" that I keep hearing about? Is there any procedure I have to do besides closing/opening the bleed valve? Does water just shoot out of it? And...

Sorry for the necro, but would it be critically bad to fill a tank using such a filter for the first time starting from 0 psi in the tank? I'm not talking about a scuba tank, but an aluminum HPA 0.8l bottle for airsoft... I never thought of these details before as I recently swapped to HPA and...

So you open the bleeding valve before you shut off the compressor? Not after? Then why do some compressors automatically shut off by themselves when reaching certain pressures? Seems counter intuitive to me. Also, I've heard it's pretty bad to have the pressure in the compressor different...

And what about the actual filling procedure? See, my tank doesn't have a valve you can close or open, just a standard foster fitting, so.. what exactly is the procedure? I know you start with the bleed valve open, start the fan then the compressor and let it run for around 30 seconds, then...

Gave it a full read and it aligns very well with what I thought previously to be true; yet again, this forum pulls through with insane amounts of knowledge, wish every topic had one like this. My fear now is that the volume of the filter, the golden one from Tuxing I mean, would prove too much...
