Question Where do you get your air from
Following on from the LDS fragility poll, I wondered how much we depend on them for air!

I'm ignoring O2/He, maybe another poll!!!

Guy who runs my local LDS once said to a customer, "try getting your air off the internet".

Thumbs up
Yip I go to my LDS for air.

The only problem I have is that i find it virtually impossible to leave having only purchased the fill!!!!

All that shiny kit!!!

Oh and i go to a LDS which is 10mins further away and 50p more expensive per fill than my nearest LDS because their service is much better.

My LDS also match web prices (except on cylinders) so I buy kit there as well

I voted LDS but I also frequently get fills at Stoney.

The strangest place I've ever had fills was from a guy towards the Welsh border somewhere (south of Chester) to has a compressor in his shed.

We used to fill up on the way to "the quarry that shall not be dived".

Had so much trouble getting fills from LDS that mate went out and bought a compressor.
In principle though I'd normally try to support local businesses.

LDS (Several of them actually). Although I don't normally buy kit from the LDS I have done in the past and I do go to them for all my training needs. Which is something the Internet cannot offer.

Chatting to my Buddy in the LDS about the amount and type of stock in the shop holds, it transpired that the major problem for them was not the internet but the local LDS's holding a kinda monoploy with the suppliers. literally not allowing this LDS to stock more recognised gear like Apeks ect.

So the internet for me is not an issue the one, thing that stops me buying from my LDS is the type of stock.

I really must finish the refurb on the compressor. The club's iron can only pump 240bar on a good day and just 200 when it's feeling bitchy.

Does anybody know where I can buy a second filter stack, preferably online.
For a 300bar 3.5cuft/min lump.
