Clean and safe high pressure air
- Thread starter Trevor Kent
- Start date
feel i need to share my findings and opinions
no its not that i have managed to get blood out of a stone (not yet)
but the state of my air system after playing a recent event at which h-pac DID NOT supply the air.i have never seen so much crap in my reg and yes it was clean before the event.
also the fact the operator never even checked the test date on my bottle all day . anyone could of filled any sort of out of date and deffective bottle its a accident waiting to happen just think how that would help the sport we all love so much
all i have to say is unless h-pac or one of h-pacs set ups doing the air fills i aint filling
big up for trev , tim and the rest of the crew keep up those high standards and keep training those staff lets keep paintball in the spot light for the right reasons

in response to a couple of the posts i agree completely:
at the Masters, and every other event where HPAC supply the air, i have had my air systems date checked every time. Not only was it checked in the morning but i saw new bottles being stickered and checked later on in the day
You're very professional, and good (the best, in my experience, and the best known) at what you do, but are also nice guys: and thats something you dont always find.
and i liked the new fill station you had at Uttoxeter back in August
thanks Trev Tim and the rest of the crew

Its as easy as this if h-pac are not doing air at your tounament don't use it . Bad dirty air buggers up your maker. keep it clean and use only H-pac
big up h-pac!!!!
very profesional business and worth every penny......damn i remember paying £2 for a co2 fill not too many years ago....£5.50/£6 is nothing.
i carry in my tool kit an inline filter that i ALWAYS use when i fill my tanks to stop crap getting in there. the ONLY time it stays in the tool box is when im filling from tanks i know were filled at a dive centre or from h-pac.
im not even going to discuss flash filling as i think it is nothing but loonacy!
without a doubt one of the best things to happen to britsh paintball tournies is h-pac
do it right, do it safe.....keep an h-pac in your wallet! you never know when you might need it!

and then it blows up and they'll be cleaning you off pieces of shrapnel for ages
paintball isnt bad kids, just be safe
EDIT: the air at the Welsh was brilliant: I was still getting 4500 fills on sunday afternoon, thanks
HPAC is great we all know that
Ive used HPAC and always impressed with the the professionalism, safety, advice and of course the 4500 fill
I just want to add to this thread with the rant:
Why dont people use fill nipple covers? a friend of mine recently got a dirty fill. the reason for this is the previous person didnt use a fill nipple cover, got crap in there and then when my matre filled his reg got all the crap in. the results of this were 1200psi being put into his inline reg. luckily no ill effects - however the reg could have been damaged, as well as the interenal/solenoid which is not a cheap fix. so therefore i just want to rant the opnion that everyone should own and use a fill nipple cover regardless of what you are filling off.
as it happens the damage was £20 to strip and clean the air system. could have been a lot worse than that.
