I'm going to add a C to F chart to the compressor for conversion, the software on the compressor has no option to change it to Fahrenheit

To calculate °C to °F.....
[°C x 1.8 ]+ 32
Or just double the °C and add 32 is close enough.....

Yes the Alpha and it is rock solid! My engineering skills are feeble compared to most the guys out here, but here's my rig:

We all know that but rather have a quick chart over calculating each time, wish they would add Fahrenheit to the software considering they sell most of them to US buyers

Some of the negative reviews are BS, the compressor in cool morning use NEVER stops to cool off and is QUICK to fill a 700cc bottle in minuets and bleeds out the moisture with it patented system perfectly.
Some are chiming in that don't even have one and can tell by the BS way it was written

I now have over 5 hours on mine and with the additional moisture filter (alpha from Joe B) and the second fan (again thanks @Ca_Varminter) my unit did not go over 57C filling 3 guns up in a row and no cool down. As you mentioned @Goldwing, the condensate that comes out of the standard moisture filter indicates it is working well. I may get a "guppy" tank for for quick infield air loads, which may push the Hill a bit as it was really made for air guns only. Anyone with a HIll fill up small cf tanks?

I top off my Guppy tank without any Drama!!
It only gets it's full 4500 psi fill when I wheel out the Old W31 though.......
I use a DIN300 to Foster adapter to fill my Guppy Tank..

My Guppy tank like my 88 cu-ft uses a standard Jubilee DIN valve...
I don' t like using those Double ended Forster nipple fitting with the tanks hose.
The DIN300 fitting will screw directly into the DIN Port, after I unscrew the hose assembly..
Here is the DIN Port
My W31 Full size compressor uses a Direct to DIN connection too......

Mine works fine and similarly quick. With a desicant pre filter the amount of water when purging has greatly reduced. I have and run the compressor in my slighly humid basement.Some of the negative revives are BS, the compressor in cool mornings use NEVER stops to cool off and is QUICK to fill a 700cc bottle in minuets and bleeds out the moisture with it patented system.

Hi
I traded in my China compressor for a Hill AC 3000.
The China compressor ran without problems, but there was oil in the air circuit.
The filter was full of oil and dirt after filling an 8 and a 3 liter bottle.
I don't want that dirt in my airgun.

looks like you are well prepared with filters Mahoni.
when filling larger bottles I've been limiting my fill to 290 bar - just to keep a little headroom and safety on the compressor. It's been pretty solid but since my guns aren't air hogs nor have 300 bar reservoirs I see no point. I've never run out of air with my 6.8 liter bottle over a weekend of shooting.
I would do this with any compressor

I always fill my tanks at 300 bar.
I built a stepless pressure reducer and can put this plug and play between the gun and the bottle.

I've owned a Hill Ec-3000 for 1 year now and have had no issues with it. It fills 600cc guns from half to full quickly. When I fill my 75cf tank from half to full it takes a bit more time but I don't mind. The only recommendation I can give when filling with any of these smaller at home systems is to try and fill on days when humidity levels in the air are low.

I looked at just about every compressor available for PCP filling when I got tired of filling a guppy every week (largest the paintball shop would fill). Hand pumped Marauder a few times but that got old. Wasn’t keen on YH’s at time of research as I read about a lot of issues. I bought the Omega Air Charger and added a molecular sieve.
It worked great, owned it about a year with no issues. Sold it to a buddy who is using it with no issues as well. I sold it because I was retiring and knew I would be shooting more and was buying two 74cf carbon fibers and wanted a bigger more robust compressor so bought an Alkin W31.
Would not hesitate buying a Omega Trail Charger if I had to do it over again, filling just guns and guppies.
It might fill the 74’s without an issue but I did not want to push it.
YMMV

Got a new set of rubber feet sent to me from the Hill maker, only thing it took almost 8 weeks to get them but I now use 4" x 4" x 7/8"
vibration pads under the Ec-3000 now with better results then there tiny feet that will rub off from vibration in time

Sorry for the thread revival.
@Ca_Varminter What pressure are you comfortable filling your Guppy up to (when filling from your Hill Ec-3000)?

For a simple top off...
300 bar....
A full 4500 psi fill has to wait for my W31 to be wheeled out of my garage.....

@Ca_Varminter @Pfddi @SDstephan (or anyone else that is running a second pancake fan)....did you change the flow direction of the OEM fan? I ask because I see in the pics that the flow is pointed at the compressor housing. My OEM fan is also pointed at the comp housing (from the other side). Just thinking that the two would be fighting against each other if they are in opposing flow directions.
