I was informed about these awhile back but didn't run it until today. It's a $170 amazon Gina special, that comes with extra seals and o-rings as well as a water pump, a simple dryer. They say to use 5 gallons of water but I ran it through the chiller side of a water fountain I had.

Took two of my SCBA tanks, one from 2650 to 3500 psi and the other from 2700 psi to 3500 psi in 26 minutes, with swap.

It's got a cheap digital thermometer with a probe that inserts into the aluminum head/cylinder (it's two stage) they say to try and keep the temp between 50 & 75 C. Don't touch any of the stainless lines while running though.

Don't know if its worth the money but I have spent more for stuff that didn't last as long, already....
 
The YH is a common PCP compressor. Most seem to have decent luck if use scuba compressor oil (Seco 500) and change regularly and limit the temperature to under 120 degrees F:



Additional filter:



Been running mine for a couple of years now with minor issues. I run chilled water and have an upgraded pump. It is known to use Water Wetter in the distilled water. I am afraid a lot of this stuff will become difficult to obtain, expensive and spare parts not so easy given the current goings on. Hope mine hangs in for a while longer.
