Supplied Air System
I been looking at the Breathecool Supplied air respirator with Tyvek hood listed on Ebay, $369. If you have one of these breathecool systems would you share your opinion, good or bad, of it? Also is vinyl or Tyvek hood the most desirable for spray painting? I noticed that a used system is never listed on Ebay. Thanks in advance.

Re: Supplied Air System
I bought a Breathecool Supplied air respirator system about 6 or 7 years ago. It is kind of noisy, but works well for sandblasting and spray painting. I bought the half mask version as I use a hood for sandblasting. The problem is the hose getting caught up in stuff, but unless you have an expensive portable battery operated fresh air system, all "hose" remote fresh air systems would have the same problem with the hose getting tangled up with things.

Re: Supplied Air System
Joe, have you looked at the Hobbyair unit?
FWIW, the Breathecool unit has a 25' hose which really is not enough IMO. For example, if your paint room area is 18' long, you need extra 6'-7' hose length to be able to maneuver around the vehicle, plus you need a minimum of 5' of length for the hose to go from your hood to the floor. THEN, the turbine of the unit needs to be in a fresh air environment which generally is about 5' away on the outside of your spray room. If their hose is just 25', I think you will be disappointed. The Tyvek hood is fine but you need to purchase the Mylar lens tear-off covers that go on the outside of the hood because the overspray is attracted to the plastic lens and will quickly ruin the vision thru the plastic. |
