Quoted from Pinterest:Ok - thank you - so can you do me a favor and take a picture of the hose ends on your Hobby Air?
I am thinking that the hose on the Hobby air looks like hose one could buy seperately and save some $$. (I would like to place the machine 100-150' away from where I'm spraying...
Thanks!
Mike
I don't know if they have any rated for that length of hose (edit: just checked and looks like they do have some rated higher http://axispro.com/index.php?l=product_list&c=1 ). I think it's 40' capacity for the cheapest standard unit and 80' capacity for a higher price. I could be wrong, but I think you're not just paying for the included hose, but the capacity of the pump. You might want to check on that to be sure.
Also, I'm not sure what kind of hose this comes with. I know the cheapest versions don't come with NIOSH approved hoses, but they are made of something they think won't be an issue in a home-use situation. I think for commercial applications, you'd have to have a NIOSH approved system. You wouldn't want a DIY hose made out of something that's going to contaminate the air you're breathing.
I had read of people doing complete DIY supplied air systems with just a cheapo air compressor without any thought put into the air quality coming out of the compressor.
