No compressor here. Costs too much to buy, too much to run plus we don't actually have anywhere to put it.

We have a main compressor, and a back up, a Nitrox blending panel connected to 3 J's and 2 whips. Trimix can be added but not used yet as we mix our own at home.

Thumbs up We do
We have Nx at the club

Cost is (as far as I remember) an additional £25 on top of the normal membership

For the extra £25 you get all the Nitrox you can breathe

The only problem is the number of qualified blenders BUT there's a new BSAC Blender qualification about to be released (if it hasn't already) and I'm waiting certification as a Blender Trainer so hopefully...

We don't have Tx at the club - I'm the only qualified Tx user so I doubt they'd put it in for me

We have a compressor, an O2 bank and can also source helium for when the few qualified members want/can afford it.

Yes....my main club has two compressors and can continuously blend nitrox. Other club can partial pressure blend and fill to 300bar with air bank.

No cost for fills anywhere.

No call for trimix in either club yet but can be easily added later.

We have a compressor, and are looking at getting a j of 40% or similar so we can blend nitrox in dirty tanks.

Hummm....

30% fill in a 12L using 40% and air.
I make that 108bar of 40% to give 230 final pressure.
So a 50L J into 12L tanks you get about 5 fills before the tanks have equalised and you can't have 30% again.

Pure oxygen needs 25bar so you get about 30 fills.

I trust it's the cheap-skates that won't pay for cleaning that are going to haul the J about and get it filled because that feels a poor deal to me.
