    PCP compressor Filter

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

    Need help building/understanding a proper filtration system

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

    Need help building/understanding a proper filtration system

    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...

    Need help building/understanding a proper filtration system

    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?

    Need help building/understanding a proper filtration system

    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...

    Need help building/understanding a proper filtration system

    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...

    Need help building/understanding a proper filtration system

    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...

    Need help building/understanding a proper filtration system

    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...

    PCP compressor Filter

    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...

    Need help building/understanding a proper filtration system

    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...

    Need help building/understanding a proper filtration system

    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...

    Need help building/understanding a proper filtration system

    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...

    Need help building/understanding a proper filtration system

    Oh I had no idea that posts also meant comments, see you in 8-9 days then! The compressor should arrive by that time too, and I'll have everything set-up so I can actually have something to show. Catch you then friend:)

    Need help building/understanding a proper filtration system

    Haha, for sure sir, the knowledge within this forum is gigantic, although to be honest my use for air guns is kind of limited: I use buckshot/slugs for the occasional hunting with my pops and as much as I'd like to take an air gun to an airsoft event, I'm afraid the others won't like it... at...

    Need help building/understanding a proper filtration system

    Much appreciated buddy! I doubt I'll make 10 posts as my engagement with air rifles is 0, but since it's super likely I'll need help in the future with the compressor set-up (hopefully not though haha) would you mind sending me a private message with your discord, if you have one? Or an e-mail...

    Need help building/understanding a proper filtration system

    I always will man, and I hope that whenever I come across issues I can confidently post here because I know it's a space filled with knowledgeable people. I'm sure we'll stay in touch haha, the problems with my AEG were never ending, and I think HPA will be no different; not with the gun itself...

    Need help building/understanding a proper filtration system

    100 % correct that cotton isn't sufficient, that's why I've mentioned the golden filter. The guys at Tuxing said the increase in time won't be a problem as the fan is powerful enough for 3000 PSI... not sure if it's PR babble but even then, I'd rather have it take 20 minutes longer or more, to...

    Need help building/understanding a proper filtration system

    Well unfortunately tanks will be what I have to fill, so, end of the day, I think it's better to err on the side of caution... if you don't mind me asking, how much greater is the fill time with the big filter on?

    Also, is what I've said about the filter medium true? That you don't really need silica nor charcoal?

    Need help building/understanding a proper filtration system

    Hold on, but the pictured compressor isn't waterless, as you're literally showing the water bucket for the water pump, right? Moving past that, are you sure he didn't mean just a filter filled with cotton instead of... that? Just seems a bit overkill haha, guess I never expected the whole...
