It might "work" for a while. That kind of air hose will ALWAYS release some petroleum distillates. Maybe not a lot, but over time that can really damage your lungs. The pump is likely to have some assembly lube which will also contaminate the air supply. Put a filter on the line that is designed to remove oil vapors. And replace the line with something that is rated for breathing. Take a dive class (if you haven't) so you totally understand that if you stay down at 10 or 15 or 20 feet long enough, you will have nitrogen and other gasses dissolved in your blood, and then your muscles, and then your bones. If you come up too fast (like if your pump quits for some reason) you can really be injured when those gasses come out of solution and form bubbles. You can also take a breath at 15 feet, and if you forget to exhale, you can rupture your lung tissue. Etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc. But you do you......
Thanks so much for the advice. This was just a proof of concept, Whit what i had aboard. I've since replaced the pump and other components. I only need it to clean the hull which is feet deep about 1 hour once a year. So ill take my chances. After all, I beet I eat some processed crap that is much worse for me, 😅 cheers
I understand and respect your decision. But what about the next guy who follows your instructions? I want them to understand that there is a better way, and that there are significant risks if you don't do this just right. For others who want to put together an inexpensive system, shoot for a diaphragm compressor that produces at least 160 liters per minute. And clear vinyl tubing would have far less petroleum contaminants than black rubber air hose. Everybody should do their own due diligence. 0:04
@@reversingentropy Excellent! I just want everybody to have fun and be safe. 100% full marks to you for the creative solution though. Carry on with the great work.
Thanks for this post. I enjoyed watching it. I suggest adding an air filter between you and the compressor. There may be toxic fumes and particles that the compressor releases that can damage your lungs. Also, I hope you can post a full tour of Evasion 32.
fantastic video I have some questions. what type of compressor is it and do you know the airflow for this compressor? litres/hour What type of hose is used? I would be happy if you could help me answer these questions
Hi. The compressor in the video is a normal 12v tire filling compressor from Amazon. But i dont recommend it. Later i changed to an electric SUP, kayak and dinghy Pump. These make enough pressure and have a much higher airflow. Cheers mate.
I am impressed, BUT, you should never do it alone, if you drowned how would we know not to make the same mistake, you will not have to pay some one to scrape your bottom now, regards. 😂
Loool, it worked amazing i just replaced the small tire pump with the larger dinghy electric air pump. Last week cleaned the whole Hull with it. Was underwater for about two hours.
