Calypso Wet Tester Modification

[sstakoff]

Curious - I'm thinking about modifying my Calypso wet tester by adding an external port and one-way valve such that I can use an auxiliary compressor or bicycle pump for quicker compression. Anyone have experience doing this???? Thoughts???

I have the classic machine with the port for pressurized air. It takes less than 10 secs and zero effort  to manually get to 3 bar, twice for 6 bar. I would not bother connecting it to pressurized air even if I had it.

Hmm. Thanks for that info. Mine is definitely not that efficient. Perhaps I will overhaul  it and check the seals, etc. I have difficulty getting it to 6 bar.
