Spoke to a few guys this weekend re air quality and system operation, they suggested i put a line on to explain a few myths, so here goes,
when air is compressed moisture droplets are formed and every compressor should have water drains and filters to remove these, if not it will destroy your air systems with one fill, every operator should have a record of filter changes and a Air Purity Test Cert to show the quality (we supply air at breathing quality and cert are always carried),
A log is also reqd by law to show maintenance is carried out and this is declared in what is known as The Written Scheme Of Examination which is a requirement of law for compressed air installations, insurance companies insist on this to cover the set up.
As for the chance of dirt entering the fill system we operate after filters to prevent any debris entering the fill rigs, with out saying how fine these are we can gareentee that we can take particals out which are smaller than the finest talcum powder so there pretty good.
Finaly a operator has a duty of care to ensure the equipment he supplys is safe to use and has the correct safety devices fitted and test certs should be availiable if any doubts arise.
For good clean air an operator has to maintain the standard of maintenance and change filters when reqd which dont come cheap if done correctly.
I would like to thank everybody at the 5 man euro and past events for the compliments on our system and we take pride in what has been described as the best ever used.
If anyone has any questions drop me a line and do my best to answer them.
regards
trevor
ps To Jef from Draxus and John from LPS sorry but the air system repair side of things at tournys seems to be drying up but at least the players are happy to save much needed beer tokens.
