Have a chinwag with Simon Hadwin (Bubble Boy) Divetek Oz Home page about the Hydrolics International boosters, they may be a more viable, and affordable option.

Cheers,

Ben.

We used a Jetsam baby booster down in the Dominican Republic last year , the little sucker ran for 10 days straight for 16 hours a day , running like a champ.
It has my vote for a nice small booster and sure can take the punishment.

Get hold of Daryl Divetek Oz Home page his mobile's on the site. He sells HI boosters specifically for Rebreather use. Tell him I sent you.

PS your prices make my ex SMI O2 clean AG30 off Ebay for AU$2k look pretty bloody good.

Mate the best priced boosted that is Haskel quality is the hydraulics international stuff. I had a haskel ADG 32 and it was very nice but too big for home use so after much deliberation I have traded it for a HI pump 5G-DS-30 which pumps 6.1cubic inches per stroke.

Give simon hadwin from divetec a call and he will sort you out. http://www.divetekoz.com.au/

I looked at the MPS pumps and a smaller haskel but this was the best deal.

The 5G-SS-30 is also a nice pump but at only 3.1cuin per cycle a bit small for me personally.

You might find the ADg 15 doesnt have the boost capacity you need - ie only 15 times the drive gas pressure.

Dan you could always get a RIxs compressor there is one lying around in perth gathering dust if you wanted it it would be pretty cheap.

DV8 DAN · 12th February 2007, 12:43

hey guys thanks for that luke i'll drop you an email

robinfante · 12th February 2007, 14:18

be forewarned the HI is a work in progress. They have been fooling around with a new piston design for about 6 months now. I sent my unit back to the factory last August after about 4 hours of use, with massive piston bypass. So far I'm up to 9 promises that the redesign is complete and my unit will be done "in a week."

I was quite impressed by the Divetech Ltd booster shown at LIDS 2007 (but I'm not an enginner so what do I know

).

See DTB5C on: Gas booster - Trimix - Diving.

This booster is CE certified!

It's made from parts that have been used by the MOD, allegedly part of the pump was used to pressurize some gas on Harrier jets!

Two key points I took away from my discussion were:

1) Air to drive air pump is isolated from compressor for other gas. In fact you need to fit a glass inline thing filled with oil to provide an oil mist in drive gas to lubricate air pump if filling from scuba tanks. Was designed to be driven from paint gun type compressor.

2) Uses less air as only one stroke is powered by air pump, supply gas pressure & a spring used to return compressor piston.

But price tag was around £1,000.
