This is a DIY hookah system. This is the first version. I will be upgrading the floatation system, extend the main hose, and add a extended air intake tube.
Thanks for watching. I believe it because it a diaphragm style pump. Because I don’t have an additional air chamber it slightly affecting the diaphragm when we take in air. There is an updated budget version being build now. I should have that video out soon. Thanks again for the comment.
Hello thanks for watching. I have not had any issues with overheating to date. I have not run the pump for more than 4 hours in a single day. All I can say is it’s not been an issue for me. Hope that helps a little. Thanks again
Been wanting to build one my self and have thought about purchasing the same compressor. How well does it work I seen a few mixed reviews. Also what size batteries are yall using?
Sorry it took so long to reply. The pump is 120cfm. If I would build it again I would got to a 160 or 180. The battery is just a 12v 10ah sealed lead acid. There is room for 2 in the box if you set it up right
Mine is ready and seems great..question do you run with small rubber plug that's located on bottom of the pump in or take it out? Mine seems the same either way...thanks again
Hello thanks for watching. I did not remove them from the pump. I’m not 100 percent sure I know they were there until your comment. I did just go check my system and they are still in. We have been running it for a few years with no problems. Thanks again for watching
The rubber plug is the air intake, but plug is to prevent crap from getting into system during shipping/storage. Remove it for better air flow. I intend to enlarge it on my system as well as cleaning, porting and other mods. Use 3/8 ID fittings for better air flow.
@@dananorth895 yes i only tested my setup once so far..once i finally adjusted my cheap amazon reg as good as possible i noticed a huge ease of breathing...i also took my compressor appart and cleaned,and removed metal shavings,i also added a 2 gallon polly tank and hookah filter ..let me know if increasingly the diameter of that air hole improves your setup performance in anyway...thanks for sharing
can I pull off a basic snorkel attached to a hose connected to a float above for a 10ft dive at least? I'm only looking to do small recreational exploration. I really don't want to have to buy a ventilator... They're so pricey!
Hello I’m not going to say it can’t be done. Once you are say 10 feet down the water is going put pressure on your diaphragm and I’m not sure you will be able to pull a breath. Another concern is that you are going to exhale C02 into the line each time and to get fresh air back in may be hard to overcome. That’s mostly my opinion not something I have tested. I can see it working in like an above ground pool but anything past about 4 or 5 feet I’m not sure.
It may be. I have seen experiments showing how the lungs won’t inflate at depth without some sort of compressed or forced air. At 10 feet with the correct setup it may work I would definitely advise figuring out a second hose for the air you breathe out. I can do some experiments this summer. We just closed down the pool and I don’t think I’ll be diving anymore this year
@@timppatalitintti3224 that is for very gifted special athletes...just like people that can free dive over 100 feet...insane what some humans can do in this world..very dangerous,amazing and scary for sure..
Its used for fish tanks usually and many use them for hookah systems to clean their boats or pools. it only creates about 12-14 psi so u can reach about 8-10m. the pump coast about 100 dollar on amazon and aliexpress. Should be used with a micron and water/oil filter. It is an oilless engine but you can easily have water splashes and they are usually full of metal scrap from assembly. should be taken apart and cleaned (the top part) It uses only about 10-13 amps which makes great but many would prefer more psi so they can dive deeper (example for spearfishing)
It’s a 120cfm pump off eBay. It’s range is about 30 feet deep but if I was to build it again I would go with a 160 or 180cfm pump. It works fine but if you intend on doing dredging or working it take a bit to get used to the air with the smaller pump
I got the pump off Ebay. its a 120CFM pond air pump. if I was going to build it again I would go with a little larger pump. The pump works fine but could have a bit more pressure
