Pump vs Compressor on a Zelos?

Single filter vs dual filter

My preference is the Tuxing dual.
First filter is fiber to capture most of the moisture and cool the air a bit.
2nd filter is the standard charcoal and dessicant to finish drying the air.

Both stages have drains and I never see moisture when I drain from the 2nd filter.

When I drain from the first filter it puts out a lot of moisture and I live in a low humidity environment.

I just think getting the moisture out before the main filter is an excellent method. Sure makes it all last a long time.

Get a compressor Save the hand pump for when the end of time happens I use a YONG HENG but topping off tanks I do with a VEVOR looking pump and a double dessicant Take care of your pumps ( TEMP ) and they will look after you

Oof, is it that bad? Or THAT bad?

I'm used to the add ons being equal or more than the main, but was really hoping I could manage a summer of fun on a pump

Between the nutria destroying garden and missing the fun plinking, my hope is for more than occasional.

I am surprised by the claims that it is "That bad". I'm (77) and can hand pump while talking on the phone. I pumped my Diana Stormrider, no problem, although it may require more time than desired.

I use a GX CS3 at the range, with a CS1-clone as backup. My problem with hand pumping is the time required, and that it would wear me out because we shoot for ~6 hours, full power .22 PCP rifles, 500-1,000 pellets per day. Divide that by (40) pellets, and the amount of pumping would take too much time from shooting, even if it didn't wear me out. If I were hunting, 40 - 80 pellets in a day, hand pumping would be workable. One issue, in my experience, is pumping above 3,000 PSI, when the pumping effort requires more upper-body weight than mine.

The best answer, in my opinion, is to find a PCP shooter locally and ask to hand pump one of their guns. My 15-year-old granddaughter weighs less than 120 pounds and could pump a gun without complaint. (All I'd need to do is to say that I'd need to get her twin brother to pmp because it's too difficult for a girl.)
