New Booster - Thanks Explorer & Parker

brockbr · 28th March 2008, 12:26

I recently purchased an O2 booster from Explorer.

Parker was nice enough to help me put it together with all the miscellaneous fittings etc that I needed to make it operational. He configured the whips with QD's so I could use them for a few different purposes such as transfilling etc.

Thanks guys!

Yah, and I had to up my home-owners insurance to make sure it covered the whips

Yikes, SS is EXPENSIVE.

Interesting that the booster says for O2 use only, I presume this is an O2 cleanliness concern rather than anything else. Any reason you can't use it to boost air or He?

I believe the intent is to make sure you don't use possibly contaminated sources, such as those that might contain hydrocarbons. I know that you can boost He through it no problem.

I also wouldn't boost air through it unless I knew it was hyperclean, and even then, I probably wouldn't do it. These smaller boosters aren't made for the big jobs like a large Haskel.
