Additional filter for GX CS4?

[GoldenFrog]

Hello All,
I recently ordered a GX CS4. I wish I could have found the model with the internal power set up but oh well. I’m wondering if it’s necessary to add additional filtration to the air line. I might buy a small SCUBA tank for diving, and if I fill that up I’ll definitely get a more elaborate filtration set up.
Thanks

I just have a small in-line filter on mine and it seems to catch what little moisture the internal seperator doesn't get. I found one rated to 40Mpa (400 BAR) on Amazon.

Thanks, maybe I’ll add one of those to my line.

For diving use you might consider a filter that uses a molecular sieve. Air tanks for sale carries two different ones and amazon and ebay have some chinese units as well.
Moisture in scuba, depending on the water temp you’re diving, can cause a freeflow where the excess moisture that accumulates in your first or second stage or both freezes your reg in the open position as a result of adiabatic cooling.
YMMV.

If you are considering using it for breathable air at some point, I would just get this filter and be done with it. I don't have one, as I use a Shoebox with all my drying after the shop compressor prior to entering the Shoebox, but if I had one of these "all in one" compressors this is the filter (and spare cartridges) I would buy: https://nuvair.com/personal-filter-din.html

i just purchased an Alpha filter from Joe Brancato, Airtanksforsale.com. After the ones I returned from Amazon due to the fact that they have no bleed off/drain. I’ve used it in conjunction with my GX CS4 pump and works flawlessly. IMOP it’s worth the extra $ for this filter. Also if you are going to fill a gun directly from the filter you’ll need an air bleeder as well. Hope this helps

Thanks you guys, I’ve been looking at those Nuvair filters. Also I’m in LA and Topgun Airguns (Joe Brancato’s shop) is 45 min away. I called them earlier today but they’re closed on Sundays.

Hey, Hey, Hey, don't be confused thinking these compressors output breathable air.
I'm not sure, BETTER MAKE SURE!

Zero chance I would ever use my compressors for breathing air unless I was definitely going to die without that air!!! My Benjamin says do not do this, and would you really trust your life to instructions that are barely English (CS4)? No thank you!

If you are thinking quality breathing air and in orange county contact Compressor Air specialties.

They do fireman air compressors and have what is required for quality breathing air. I have them helped with my Bauer for services.

Any idea what the max working pressure is for that filter? The website does not say.

Well, it says it's for DIN 300 tanks, so it should be 300 bar. But you send them a question if you want to be sure . . .

Do know that you will and adaptor to go from DIN 300 to foster for use with most PCP pumps . . .

This is slightly off topic but rather than start a new thread what oil do I use in the CS4. I just ordered one and the only instructions I see are about the coolant/water stuff and nothing about the oil. Preferably something I can get locally in small quantities not something crazy expensive

Cs4 has a grease filled knob thing, they claim you will not need to add any for many tens of hours. After that you'd need to search a little, I know I saw the answer on one of the forums. Turn the knob 1 rotation after 4 to 6 hours of operation.
