Hand Pump Which Filter?

[brawler1588]

So I have one of the the cheaper hand pumps $50 I tried taking my filter lines that I have setup from my compressor but it wouldn't fill the gun not sure why. What filter are you using inline to keep water out of the tank? Thank you for you help and stay safe.

Man that's a hell of a lotta strokes You're gonna need just to prime your looooooooong lines not to mention the filters! Yo!

I was using the Hill pump before getting the Yong Heng. I used a big jar of silica gel to dry out the air going into the pump. Not very ideal I know but that's all that can be done for hand pumps

Have you tightened your bleed knob all the way tight? Yo!

Yeah everything was tight and should have been good when I pumped I felt air coming out of the probe to test but when it was in the gun nada wouldn't budge on the gauge.

I think you may have a leak somewhere along those miles and miles of hoses and fittings unless you're trying to pump a Cricket up which is one of those "NEVER PUMPERS". Yo!

It was a liberty which is 300bar fill but it wasn't moving the gauge at all might have to check for leaks. But wouldn't mind a different one for just the pump.

I would expect it will take a few pumps, like YO said, probly fifty or so to fill the filters and get the gauges to start moving but at least you will not have any moisture getting into your gun. Using the hand pump takes deliberate all the way to the top and hold for a second then all the way to the bottom and hold for a second to werq properly. I would use the same set up if it were me but would put the tiny Yong Heng filter before the big one.

What is wrong with your Yong Heng?

Like having both options and the option to fill up without needing to get the bucket of water and then ice packs etc.
