Dive cylinder fill compressor.
Danny and Yvonne SIMMS
Hi all, when we bought Ocean Pearl the previous owner had removed the dive compressor. I would like to add this now. (belatedly) having finally moved from the must have list to the nice to have list. What make and model did Amel install and any other advice gratefully received. The 230 volt wiring is in place in the large cockpit port locker. Thanks in advance Danny SM 299 Ocean Pearl

H Danny,
It is a Junior II by Bauer: https://www.bauer-kompressoren.de/products/breathing-air-sports/compact-line-100-140-lmin/junior-ii-100-lmin/
We have this on Cream Puff and was installed by Amel. The installation has the unit sitting on a sliding tray so you can take advantage of some storage when the unit is push far to port in the locker out of use.
With best regards,
Mark

On my yet to be delivered Amel 50, Amel is installing the 230V Bauer JR II. I've had it on my previous boat also and it worked well. It needs lots of ventilation if in hot climate. Just remember to buy TONS of air filters as they don't last long at all (something like 8-10 tank fills each, if I remember correctly) .

Danny,
I works very well. It is a bit noisy and takes about 30 mins to fill a full size tank. But it is a huge convenience to have aboard. When running of the genset, this will suck power so not much else can be run. Sorry, I forget the amps pulled.
As others have mentioned, buy lots of filters.
I was told by Joel to run it regularly, even if not filling tanks. I crank it up every couple of weeks for just a few minutes. Other than replacing filters and the HP air hose to the tank, it has been problem free.
With best regards,
Mark
