Filter Supplies

   Because your life depends on the quality of the air you breathe.

Reliable Air is a dealer for Lawrence Factor, the industry leader in replacement filter cartridges with more than 300 models available.

Lawrence Factor's X-Pendable cartridges use: the finest caliber medias that, together with the cartridge structure, yield optimum performance for safe, purified breathing air.

You need high pressure breathing air? Why does it need purifying? Without purification, air from a piston compressor conforms in no way with the air quality standards required by divers; it is saturated with moisture, contains oil vapours and may taste and smell of impurities.
Therefore, an air processing system is of prime importance.
Without air purification, serious damage to your health and equipment may ensue. Equipment damage includes cylinder corrosion, equipment malfunctions through impurities and iced up, free flowing regulators. Costly repairs and maintenance are some of the consequences. Also hazardous microorganisms may inhabit the cylinder.

The quality of breathing air is largely based on the purification systems and the design of the compressor block.

The Final Separator
is integrated in the VERTICUS units. The oil and water emulsion collects in the bottom of the separator chamber and is drained manually or by means of an automatic condensate drain (optional).

Compressed air is treated in three stages:
A - DRYING by adsorption of water vapour particles
B - NEUTRALISATION by adsorption of oil vapour and disturbing odours
C - MICRO FILTERING by binding suspended particles

We strongly recommend air-quality testing using Lawrence Factor's "X-ZAM - Air testing program"
