New GX filter is coming out!

[TempleDan]

hopefully there is a shut off so you do not have to loose the pressure in the filter every time you start up.

That would nullify the whole reason for drain off. You can‘t drain fluid without draining the air also.

Check valve fittings in the right places is what I do.

Do you mean one way check valve? If so how do you do you stop from dumping all the pressure when you release the probe or connector? . As I understand it takes a very long time to recharge the larger filters with these units. Read here it takes over 20 minutes to charge a double filter set up. that isa long time. I woud think you need some type of shut off after the filters to avoid this. Seen a couple set ups the have a valve in older posts.

I would think draining the filter should only take a small bit of opening the bleeder and not a full dump. Im just trying to avoid the rechardge time of the filters, according to a shooter here, it took 20+ minute to charge his filter pack alone. Add that to the tank or rifles fill time.

Yes, with the Gx cs4. This is with the tall gold twin Tuxing filters. Just looking at it would appear to closing in on a liter.
Not counting how much volume the filter media takes up. It’s aggravating if you have 2 tanks to fill and fully drain between.

Been looking for a small 1/8 npt high pressure air valves. Found a few on the bay, but seems most (hard seat) are for fluids. Thinking the easy peezy would work, but read about a lot of rebuilds on those...

It will have media in it, and from what I understand, the filter can remain pressurized, or you can bleed out water over long fills without loosing air in the tank line. Once I get one in a few weeks and check it out, I'll be able to better answer those questions, which is something I want to know more about myself.

I have seen the video on how it comes apart too and it is definitely unique.

The filter will have a spare cartridge as well that you can refill.

Will the filter have more than 1 type of media?
For example
- absorbent cotton
- molecular sieve

It probably works like a home/shop compressor drain valve. The water sits at the bottom, you crack the valve, let water drain until you start blowing air, close the valve.

How many air per minutes is the gx cs4 pushing out?

I think this filters are better when they are used together with strong 110v/230v compressors.

My Yong Heng, which is labeled as 50l per minute, fill up the tuxing double cylinder filter unit in very short time (way under 5 minutes i think). I should measure the time with a stopclock.

I think about filling it with my tuxing 12v compressor, but i think it will get overheated when trying to fill both the tank and the double filter.

Factory specifications are 11 liters per minute for the CS4 and CS4-i.

One thing about the Gx cs4 is it doesn’t get hot. I ran for 5 hours 10 minutes with nothing more than Luke warm. This was filling a 9 liter from empty. Unfortunately the thermometer was installed after this. I couldn’t find any info on a fill rate per minute
oh I just read Humdingers post above
