[QUOTE="HeadsUp, post: 13263, member: 414"] i tried getting information from Power Dive a while ago but they didnt reply to my email , i dont have any photos showing the design of them is yours petrol powered or 12 volt ? One issue i saw on older petrol powered hookahs was the intake air was too close to the exhaust so you would be getting aquainted with free carbon monoxide , nitrogen dioxide and other nasty critters Is it a diaphram pump or piston ? Many years ago i ran a piston style compressor pump through a donaldson filter pack to remove the oil vapour and ozone which is produced but that is not 100 % safe based on current knowledge I much prefer a teflon or rubber diaphram pump any day , and if its petrol powered then a snorkel at least 5 feet high is preferable. I cant comment on yours without seeing its intestines sorry. ps . I discovered my pump was made by Thomas Compressors Ltd in USA but its a superceded model. Also awaiting a reply from the email i sent to the OHS person there :) [/QUOTE]
