HOSE LENGTH CAPABILITIES ?
The hose length on the compressor is not what determines the depth capability. Depth capability is determined by the air volume output of the compressor. The hoses could almost be any length you want. Longer hoses simply act as a surge chamber (a long thin surge chamber). Pressure drop in long hoses is not much of a factor since breathing is not a steady air flow demand. When the diver inhales he is dropping the pressure in the last 30 to 40 ft of hose, and while he is exhaling the air in the first part of the hose (no matter how long) has a chance to flow forward rebuilding the pressure in the last bit. Note: many commercial divers run between 300 and 600 ft of hose. MAINTENANCE ? Proper maintenance is CRUCIAL on a Super Snorkel especially in salt water. Maintenance will make a Night-&-Day difference between a smooth running reliable unit and a hard to start, lower airflow, and easy to quit unexpectedly unit. Rust inhibitive sprays are first on the list. We use and sell “LPS-3” others
