1 more booster question

gtzavelas · 14th February 2007, 16:50

I dive an SCR (RB80 clone) so I was wondering if the various mini boosters in the market are adequate to fill my 5 LT & 7LT (or even 10LT sometimes!) bottles or do I need to go for a full size booster???
Thanks in advance

PS any comments from any one using the new Haskel booster mini as it is one of the units I am considering???

Hi,

The New Haskel, Mini Sport Booster will not be available until the 24th of February but I suspect that will be a bit on the small size for filling 7ltrs and 10ltrs it is really for 3 ltr rebreather cylinders.

This is probably more like the size of the booster you would need the smaller booster in the picture is the KISS Nano Booster that is about the same size as the New Haskel.

I will post a report on the Haskel when they arrive.

Regards

Any info on this unit yet? Does anyone have any info on the Hydraulics International unit Model HIHPG4-29001 that is targeted at the same market as this haskel?

The first units of the Haskel Mini Boosters have just been shipped to customers in the US and the first batch for Europe is on it's way so I should have some user feedback on this model shortly.

The HI I have not used but I will be adding them to our products list around June this year but maybe someone else would be good enough to offer some feedback on them.

Regards

The only thing ive heard (from the internet so take that for what its worth) about the HI is that they are having piston problems resulting in blowby. Im not even sure which HI model they were referring to, but 2 people said the same thing. On another note, does anyone know the weight of the haskel, case included for travel?

Thanks.

I have not experienced the problem but a friend of mine in the US has with a number of them and he has switched to the new Haskel but I expect HI to solve this problem before I stock them in June 2007.

The weight of the Haskel is about 5.5Kg (12Lbs) for the bare booster.
