Pro Tip: Understanding 12V Limits
The AirLine 12V160-3 uses the hose as an air reservoir. For heavy exertion or deeper dives, it is recommended to pace your breathing. To significantly increase air volume for intense underwater work, consider adding the optional 2.5-gallon stainless steel accumulation tank.
Safety & Proper Usage
Always ensure the intake air is located away from toxic exhaust fumes (outboards, generators, etc.). Since this unit operates on a 26 AMP draw, running your boat's engine while diving is the best way to keep your battery banks topped off and ensure consistent power to the compressor.
