Just a curious question regarding the “breathable air” sales pitches we read about

[Bigragu]

Is there anybody out there who will hear my story, all about the girl …. Kidding. Beetle songs on my mind lately

With all the sales pitches we see that come with pcp compressors about”X” compressor producing breathable quality air, is there anybody out there actually into the scuba diving sports and filling their breathing tanks with their pcp compressors?

Surprised this has never been brought up

I scuba but have not had the opportunity to fill any tanks with my alkin for breathable air except for my carbon tanks for my pcp.

Not a chance I would breathe the air from one of these cheaper China compressors and I used to be a smoker. Lol.

The second stage is a carbon filter, I open it onse and smelled good inside

Sorry, I have no scuba diving close to my house - unless here are the Great Lakes if anybody dare to submerge other then in July-August.

I bought a breathing air compressor to fill my scba tank. Company that builds them only 65 miles away. Paid $3250.00 worth every penny lol.

Wow...that looks exactly like the chinese manufactured brand with a sticker on it. Could they be just a supplier like Joe B is for the Carette 2?

The MaxAir 35 is definitely not made in China. It is an offshoot of Coltri made in Italy. Chinese companies will clone anything. There are Bauer clones, Coltri clones, etc.

That is great to hear. Having been to China many times I know full well the capabilities in manufacturing. I downloaded their M35 manual and it is written very well and quite through. If they maintain repair parts in stock that puts them a step above most. Glad to hear their made in the USA and fully supported here. Nice to see someone not trying to hide there manufacturing origin then when forced admits it's "exclusively" made for them as if to imply they designed it and control tolerances in the manufacturing process.
Super to hear and wish them great success.

Well the technical reasons for "Breathing Quality" compressed air for your PCP...
Breathing Quality air standard has a Limit on the amount of moisture that is allowed!
This is to prevent the icing up of the regulators on SCBA/SCUBA units!!!
So this is good for your PCP.... Less Moisture... Less Corrosion!!!
Having an Alkin's make this hassle free!
