site air instead of co2

[Tom37]

possibly thinking of making the transition, but was just looking for a bit of advice on the subject, so i can talk to the gaffa about it... what pro's and cons are there? from a site point of view ofcourse. also expense wise... also are there any changes that wouldnt seem that particularly obvious? (like taking longer/shorter time to gas?)

just any advice would be good, cheers

Air has a higher capital, but it's cheaper in the long run.

yup thats what we were thinking... we figured it'd pay for it'self pretty quickly, but i was just worried about differences marshall-wise.

Phone/e-mail Fat Bobs. They sell site air equipment & have alot of experience with that sor of stuff from the retailer point of view and site owner.

Supplying air has a number of issues one of the big ones being that anyone filling for 'the masses' may need to have a certification to do so and I also understand there are insurance implications due to the higher pressures involved and their inherent dangers.

Air goes down a lot better with the punters as it makes the tippy's / inforno's much more consistant.

A lot of sites are going this way.

if you can surply air , you can offer good walk-on days

speak to stevie carson (user name similiar on this forum) he runs the only site in scotland (at the moment) that runs off air

do you not need to fill up more with air than Co2

Skirmish Bristol went through an air refit a while back, i know while working there what a massive project it was, you could give them a shout.
