Good afternoon Robert,
Interesting… Last winter, I had mine fully serviced and ask for the procedure (since I had never used it).
The dealer told me to do. Regarding the oil, they said my old one was toxic and put the Tri-Ester Synethetic Compressor Fluid R14.
May be they were over cautious…

Alexander, I have the same compressor on my
boat although not as beautifully installed, I don't have
to open the water traps during filling and also the filter
seem to last about 50 fills, the only way to check the
filter is by its added weight, so an accurate small weight
scale is the only requirement there.
Humidity in southern Australia is
low and I'm using synthetic oil, this may explain the
difference.

My pleasure, but ask Leopold (SM#69 Yin Yang) how he did
his.
Also I gave previously my opinion on the diving compressor.
Since I had one onboard and I want everything in working
condition I had it serviced ($2k), but I am not sure I would
add one as it is not so easy nor inexpensive to use.
1) every 7 minutes while filling up a tank you have to open
valves and it takes 40 minutes to fill up a tank (and is
very noisy).
2) have to change the filter every 8 tanks and they have a
limited shelf life of 1.5 year, I calculated the operating
cost to fill up a tank at about $5 (not including the
purchase of the compressor and its big maintenance).
In the Bahamas, Turks & Caicos and even here in
Dominican Republic there are stores in many places to fill
up tanks and they cost between $5 and $10.
I think it is good if you are in remote places or scuba a
lot.
But I do believe it is important to have scuba tanks onboard
in case (like it happened to me) you have the chain wrap
around a coral head, anchor stuck, etc.
Sincerely, Alexandre

Good morning Robin,
Here is a reply I made to Leopold (SM#69 Yin Yang) on
April
28, 2015
You might want to ask him if he had any difficulties
installing his.
I took some pictures and drawing I made at the time

I hope this will help you.

Hi gang
when I bought GrosDoux
there was no dive compressor. I intend to change that
and
buy a Lenhardt @ Wagner LW 100 E1 ECO and install it.
Could
anyone let me know how Amel installs thes compressors?
Size
and weight is comparable to a Baur Junior
ll.thanks for any
assistance!
