Long time. Didn't know that.Additionally, I can't remember where I read it, but I think the unit has a "maximum" run time of 10 hours.

No doubt about that! I was looking at buying one quite a few years ago and I think at the time they were 3K.Hurry up. They are constantly going up in price

They just keep geting more expensive. Got to but the bulet before they go up again.
The Coltri also appears to be four stage, compared to Alkin’s three? That could speak to durability, I’d imagine. That said, I don’t see wearing out my Alkin in my lifetime. Time will indeed tell. I would happily fill other shooters bottles, if I knew any near me.Now that Alkin dropped the manual features and is forcing the auto shut off at the much Higher price, I'm thinking about going the Coltri MH6 220 V route from Nuvair.
I'm thinking I will be very satisfied, and cash I save... will allow me to buy another PCP....
I have the full boat on my Alkin, and to be honest it is not necessary.Now that Alkin dropped the manual features and is forcing the auto shut off at the much Higher price, I'm thinking about going the Coltri MH6 220 V route from Nuvair.

Agree, there should really be a sticky for Alkin, Coltri, Yong Heng, etc.How can we make this thread a sticky? Lots of good info here
how old is it/year? 40 hours is a good amount, do you ever need to check the air quality?I only have about 40 hours on mine, but so far no issues at all. I have the 220 manual version. Use it to fill my scuba tanks and pcp equipment. Have also set it up portable when I went to Key West, ran It off a 220v generator in the field.

I have scuba tanks, and thought about filling them also, but wasn't sure how to check for breathable air quality.
We used Trace Analytics at the dive shop I worked at. See link below.There’s a kit that contains some equipment that the test bottle gets inserted into. You probably have to buy the kit. The sample bottle and filter (for oil and particulate) comes with the sampling portion of the kit. You send in the filter and air sample bottle.how old is it/year? 40 hours is a good amount, do you ever need to check the air quality?
