I have the same set up & was interested to see the suggested IP for the drive gas at 130PSI - what fill pressure do you get with this setting? I started out with mine at 140PSI, but found it stalled below my target fill pressure of 200 bar & I now have it set to 150PSI IP & have no problems.

Although the mechanical advantage of the booster is 25:1, practically it is less than that - maybe closer to 20:1 & therefore needing a higher IP on the drive side. Anyone else have this experience?

Great article though & thanks for sharing it.

Originally when I got a tech from Haskel on the phone he suggested an IP of 130, but I've been running at about 145 lately. Getting a little higher boost that way. I can get up to a bit over 240 Bar with high supply gas & high drive gas pressures.

Nice write up Richie. Using the same Roberts GMP as I am.

Yep... They pulled the availability of Medical O2 last year. All the dive shops around here are using the GMP. Same treatment as the Medical, just a different paint job on the bottles, according to head of QC for Roberts.

Has anyone tried boosting into an Al80 deco bottle with the Haskel Mini Sport?
