Oxygen tank lifespan

[Lufah]

The aeration setup I got from B3 came with little welding tank adapter, tube, filter, diffusion stone. Is the filter useless since the O2 is sterile?

Yes

That's what i thought...Seemed like the feed was slower coming out of the setup with the filter than without the filter (used both...I got one that came with the filter recently) Think i'm going to take that sucker off!

Yes

Then why the hell is it on there??? I could understand if it was an aquarium pump... but it diliberatly comes with an adapter for one of those handheld tanks...

AH THE PROFIT MACHINE STRIKES AGAIN!

I don't know why it is on there. The one I got from NB doesn't have a filter on it.

I use the regulator off my bernzomzatic torch kit cost is about the same as the o2 regulator alone and you get a torch. I don’t use a filter never had a problem.

Also, remember to remove your regulator between uses... they leak and you'll be out of o2 next time if you dont!

I learned this one the hard way a couple years ago.

the filter is on there for 2 reasons...
1. it is the same setup they use for aquarium pump systems
2. it makes people feel better about themselves.

2. it makes people feel better about themselves.

I've been looking for something like that for years...
