    Default Masterline Oxygen Booster

    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

    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.

    There are sierra boosters (a non-oxygen masterline) for use in mining that are in use 30 years later.

    I?ve got a sierra booster for sale. Its safe for nitrox up to 40%, trimix, air, and argon.

    So these function as a stand alone compressor? Or just for boosting like a Haskell?

    Boosting only. They wont produce nitrox themselves. They work beautifully for partial pressure blending. I had a trimix stick for a while(trihunter) and find pp mixing with the booster way more accurate
