Stirrup Pumps

What inline filter do you recommend?

Thanks

Have you tried using a stirrup pump?
I had one years ago, I bought it as I couldnt afford a divers bottle. I used it three times. They are the worst thing to use, and you’ll regret getting one. Wait to save up £100 more, then buy a divers bottle that makes refills so easy.

If your able bodied and reasonably fit, using a pump ain't a problem. Pumping cylinder guns is relatively easy imo, bottle guns though ,R10 for example, bugger that.

Second this. Cylinder guns are ok but bugger trying to pump a r10/rapid bottle.

Interested in this. I decided to get a second (smaller) bottle as a backup instead because I live in Cumbria; a pretty damp part of the country and I worry about the water vapour which is always in air, getting into my guns. Where I used to work (now retired) we ran nice German 11kw industrial compressors and removed about 30 litres of condensate from each on most damp or rainy days. We cooled the air before it got to the dryer.
How much water does a hand or portable electric pump remove? I imagine that using a hand pump, one would have to pump slowly and have the trap quite a long way from the pump to get the air cool enough to drop much moisture out of it. How effectively do the portable electric compressors do this? A 300 bar heat exchanger sounds a bit special; or am I missing something?
I have the luxury of using bottled air and I get them filled at a dive centre. This is because they supply breathing air and so far as I know; breathing air is always well filtered and dried.

I found that pumping a bottle gun is OK as long as you don't try to do it all in one go. Of course this assumes you are not in any great hurry to recharge
