Choosing the right scuba fill station is essential and depends on the needs of your operation. MAKO has a variety of fill stations that run on either electric or diesel engines, and each type has its benefits to think about.
Electric-Powered Fill Stations: Quiet and Low-Maintenance
Electric-powered fill stations are quieter, making the work area more pleasant for operators and others close by. They usually need less upkeep than diesel models, which can mean saving money over time and fewer stops for maintenance.
Limitations of Electric Models
But, electric models do have some limits. They need to be near an electrical source, which might not be easy or even possible in far-off places. Also, if you only have access to a single-phase electrical supply, you might find that the power output of electric fill stations doesn’t meet your needs, especially for bigger operations.
Diesel-Powered Fill Stations: Portable and Reliable
Diesel-powered scuba fill stations, however, are great for moving around. They don’t need to be plugged in, so you can use them in various places, even where there’s no reliable electricity. Diesel fuel is also often easier to get and more budget-friendly in areas where the electrical grid is hard to reach.
Trade-Offs of Diesel Models
But choosing diesel also means dealing with some trade-offs. These engines are louder than electric ones, which might need extra steps to manage the noise. They are also heavier, which can make them less easy to move around, even though they are still portable.
Finding the Right Balance
When picking a MAKO scuba fill station, think about the balance of factors like noise level, maintenance needs, how easy it is to move, and whether you have a steady power source. These should match up with what your operation needs. Whether you go for the quiet and low-maintenance electric station or the strong and movable diesel-powered unit, MAKO’s selection is built to give dependable, high-quality service for your specific situation.
