I just dont have the time to do this. If you are interested, pm me and we can discuss the details.

Its more like finish mine off. Need add a PMV (already have, not plumbed in), additional mixing stick for trimix, plumb in trimix analyzer, and plumb in the haskel as well. Although if we plumb in the tri mix analyzer, the second stick isnt needed?

No rocket science, I have most of the big parts except hoses, and a regulator/restrictor for the tri mix analyzer.

I just dont have the time.

You might talk to RDW that is his area of expertise. He did an awesome job with Tacoma scuba's fill station.

You would be better off just Partial Pressure mixing especially for Trimix. You are going to eventually go full CCR right? It is better to mix up a large quantity and boost your small bottles from their. Sticks are not accurate enough when you are trying to fill small CCR tanks. It is just far easier and less shit that can go wrong. Even running nitrox though a compressor is hard on it and shortens it life.

for my CCR tanks(19/23), I'll do PP fills from the haskel (O2 or trimix), but for my GEM/OC tanks, it'll be CB through the big compressor.

Why 19/23 for the CCR?

Why plumb in a 2nd stick if you are using a trimix analyzer, just get a little hargraves pump to suck off 2L/min for sampling.
Integrating the haskel is also unnecessary. I get the feeling you have a rather uncompromising vision Jeff. Like with Catalina vs Luxfer Al40s.

I believe I asked/mentioned this in the first post...

how about expanding. Why do I need two sets of output and the cost for 2 sets of fill whips, connections, etc instead of just plumbing the output of the 2 sources(haskel and compressor) into a final station to fill the tanks? Now granted I can just use quick connects and move them(fill whips) between the compressor and the haskel,if thats what you are referring to.

good question, I dunno, came with 19's,and got a set of 23's for a second set of tanks. I've always thought those were a pretty standard size for CCR tanks?

I misunderstood your answer. I though you were going to be mixing 19/23 for your CCR.

I think he's talking about me. Which is kind of funny. Because I'm so much better looking.
