Light Duty Compressors
Our light duty commercial compressors are ideal for shallow work areas in depths of 20 ft. (7 Meters) or less. Lightweight, low cost and portability are the main reasons for choosing a light duty compressor. You can choose between oil free or oil lubricated compressor. The oil free designs are light and easy to move around and do not require some of the options necessary with oil lubricated compressors to meet OSHA Regulations. Diver air filtration does not come standard with our light duty compressors and is an important option to discuss and make sure you have on any breathing air compressor system.
One final consideration when purchasing a light duty compressor would be your planned use. If you plan to use the compressor for continuous duty work or have multiple divers in the water it will be important to get a compressor that meets the demands of the CFM and pressure you will need. As always give us call and we will guide you through the decision process and be sure your purchase meets your requirements.
