Looks like it should do the job at a very reasonable price:

They also have 50 ft of hose for $20. With a 10 ft length of "heater
hose" from Brownie and a low pressure scuba regulator, you'd have a
complete rig for a little over $300.

How do you suppose this and the connectors will hold up in a marine
environment?

"Believe me, my young friend, there is *nothing*-absolutely nothing-half so
much worth doing as simply messing, messing-about-in-boats; messing about in
boats-or *with* boats.

In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's
the charm of it.

Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your
destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get
anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in
particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to do, and
you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not."

I have a small Thomas compressor on board, about the same size and
overall quality. It has held up OK even though stored under something
less than optimal conditions. I keep all of my dive gear in a
plastic storage box with a semi-watertight lid. It all gets stowed
away in the transom lazarette which is very hot and humid at times.

The heater hose has a plastic quick connect on it, the output of the
compressor is brass, and the connector to the low pressure regulator
is stainless steel. No problems with any of that.

Uhhh, has anyone stoped to ask how clean the air is youre breathing as
in Have you sent off an air sample?

Now I may not be the one to be posting on this topic cause Im sure
yall kno a lot more than I do about this sorta stuff. Lets see:
sport scuba age 12. re-cert about every 10-15 years for the fun of it.
6 month commercial dive school 198X (DIT)
Im also an current licensed Hyperbaric Life support Tech too. Its
always handy to know how to operate a recompression chamber and be
able to treat presure related injuries.
3 years GOM oilfild diver
5 years harbor diving
1 year Fiji commercial free dive spear fishery
Recently 1.5 years as AB on a 4 point dive boat for the the number one
dive company in US.

Diver air supply hoses (and other components) are made with specific
materials to not off gas bad **** when under preasure. Plastic does
wierd **** when put under preasure or heat. Unless specifically labled
as Diver Air Supply its a crap shoot. IDK Im jsut some dick. Besides I
also buy organic vegies too but I guess for tuff guys like Joe and
Skip organic petro chemicals in thier lungs dont matter much. As like
every dum coon ass says, "hehl braa were all gona die som time. what
ya gona do walk around wrapped up in bubble wrap all ur life! "

Equally you should also consider the air system's components: washers/
o rings, never sieze/lube on those quick disconnects, hose lube used
by chineese hose manufacture. You do remember to blow down your hose
before and after every use. Do you cap off each end of your house.
There are some nice red plastice "hose caps No. 6 & 8" but duct tape
works well keeping spiders and crap from finding its way into your
hose. Ya wouldnt want some spider in ur hose to foul that demad stage
regulator when ya got ur hosev fould on the prop preventing you from
escaping the dark grasp of Neptune Rex. Not to mention the
complontents in those ****ty little paint/utility compressors. It jsut
aint about "oil less" Id rather breath off a good Quincy (oil)
compressor than any of those chineses "oil less" comprssors you guys
are using.
Just think chinees dog food, baby formula, the lead in coffee cup
glaze, and children's toy paint.

Good luck boys and breath safely!

Have you ever known anyone who died of drinking coffee from a lead
glazed coffee cup. Or can you tell the difference between lead glaze
and other types?

As far as your "organic" veggies.... Can you go into some details of
the difference between nitrogen absorbed from fertilizer made from
methane gas and that absorbed from horse ****?

Cheers,

Bruce

Simple!!!! Look at the price. No fertilizer, no weeding, no
spraying, DOUBLE the price!

Dear Gordon and Bruce:

Dosing dirt with 20-20-20 fertilizer or for you lawn guys 20-0-0
presents its own problems.... as in turning your soil into concrete
after a few years. Dirt needs organic materials as well, as in mulch,
but thats not my main gripe. What does get me ****ed is all the
pesticides, herbicides, fungi/mold, soil conditioners, etc and other
wacky chemicals used to get a crop to market. I believe is harmful to
us over time.

I was sitting on a bench in eastern Washington watching a VB game. The
VB dad next to me was a fruit farmer. Tuff life. One thing that caught
my ear was the cost of spraying his orchard 7-10 times annually. One
of the sprays was something called "stop drop" Its a chemical designed
to keep the apples from falling off the tree too early and to regulate
when the fruit all drop time simultaneously. Im a conservative person.
And its just common sense not to eat something thats had a bunch of
chemicals dosed on it. IDK maybe ur one of those liberal whacko types
who believes you should be able to do what every you want with no
regard to the consequences. You know like a spoiled child.

You can make your own choices but your comments show your ignorance of
the topic. I buy organic Fuji apples all the time for $1.29 / lb hell
even our PNW grocery store Fred Meyer (piggle wiggle for you
coonasses) has an Organic section and sells great juicy organic cali
oranges for $0.88/lb That seems pretty cheep for an orange that
doesn’t have a bunch of nerve agents in its juice.

Get with the times boys We dont send trucks spraying DDT down the
streets to kill bugs anymore. Why should we eat food that has
chemicals designed to kill animals and plants.

For Bruce…… yes, drinking coffee from a cup with lead in the glaze may
not kill you today My concern is 50 years of exposure or having the
most susceptible, our children getting their nervous system re-wired
because of metals in their diet. Do we still have lead potable water
supply pipes? Why is that Bruce?

I got things to do today and would be wiling to supply lots of actual
facts instead of simply spouting my personal opinion here. Bruce -
Gordon you seem like a reasonable people. Doesn’t it make since to
research the food you put in your mouth with the same zeal you
research a new radio for your boat or consider which bottom paint is
best????

For all the time you guys bicker about boat equipment Id think you’d
also be a critical consumer of what you stick in your pie hole. Humm
but maybe there isn’t much room considering you probably also have a
guy's cock in it too.
