Masterline Oxygen Booster

[Superlyte27]

Anyone in Central Florida want to split a Masterline Electric Oxygen Booster with me? It seems so immature to spend $9270 just for the convenience of boosting oxygen. But, Maybe $4k+ is an easier pill for me to swallow, lol

I'll just leave this right here.

That’s a low shot.. haha


Doesn’t that start to get pretty close to cost of a membrane system?

A membrane doesn't give you 100% oxygen boosted to 3500


Short term a masterline boosted costs a little more than a brand new Haskel (or even some used Haskels) When you look at long term costs, a Masterline makes way more sense. Service interval is long (can't remember length) and costs $25. It's all user serviceable. The Haskels I looked at cost $1000+ in parts for service. Add to that the fact that masterlines run forever, it makes more sense to me personally.

WHY ON EARTH would you want to walk around with a cylinder of 100% o2 boosted to 3500 psi???? isn't that like a mobile oxygen bomb???????

Better 3500 than 10,000...

Where do you dive. That happens everyday in cave country. I’m shocked you dive in cave country and haven’t had an oxygen bottle filled to 33-3500.

I started off in Cave country.... Currently in Nashville. I can understand boosting Nitrox blends up to 3500... but pure o2 to even 3000 seems a little crazy to me.

It seems everybody has different levels of oxygen comfort. I'm completely comfortable up to 3500. I personally won't go up to 3800 at home, but don't care if a shop boosts to 3800. It's not going to spontaneously explode unless dropped and we're careful. Not to say it couldn't happen. But we're cave diving, it's a high risk sport. Throwing a little hp oxygen in the mix isn't going to worry much more.

He didn't say he planned to boost all the way to 3500 psi. Just because it can, doesn't mean it should.
