Reviews

This is a great system to use when painting. Fresh air and it helps keep you cool when all suited up. Only drawback is the hose does coil up on itself. I am storing it all laid out straight but it could up when I am walking around.

It is nice having fresh air when I am painting. Having fresh air pumped in sure beats trying to breathe in normal filtered masks.

I paint my own motorcycles parts like tanks,fenders and frames. I build a small paint booth and with this mask and fresh air coming in I smell nothing!! The only issue I have is the mask is a little small but if I use my old glasses I’m ok.

Great little machine good variable flow. wish I could replace the hepa filter with a full chemical type filter in case any contaminants make it over to the machine…maybe they have something for that but at aircraft spruce they didn’t know anything.

I have difficulty breathing through a regular mask. this unit makes it so able to be in that environment. A respirator that you have to pull air through contains a portion of already used air this system keeps fresh air immediately available I love it. Respirators @30$ apiece, will let this unit pay for itself soon enough

This unit is the best tool I’ve bought. I use it for everything, painting with ISO’s or not, sandblasting, sanding body filler, etc. The money you save on charcoal filters and particlulate filters means it eventually pays for itself. Plus you can let friends borrow it in exchange for beer. These things are built to last.

Please note, Aircraft Spruce's personnel are not certified aircraft mechanics and can only provide general support and ideas, which should not be relied upon or implemented in lieu of consulting an A&P or other qualified technician. Aircraft Spruce assumes no responsibility or liability for any issue or problem which may arise from any repair, modification or other work done from this knowledge base. Any product eligibility information provided here is based on general application guides and we recommend always referring to your specific aircraft parts manual, the parts manufacturer or consulting with a qualified mechanic.

Q: What kind of filter system does your hobbyair have? Would it work in a welding shop to give me fresh air all day as I weld?

Per the supplier: The Hobbyair has a HEPA filter. The system is designed to deliver fresh / clean air from somewhere other than the area you are working in. This is why we make our systems with hose lengths from 40 to 160 feet long. If you locate the air pump in fresh air, then, yes, the system will deliver fresh air to your hood or mask all day. The HEPA filter will filter out dust etc. that are in the (fresh) air. I hope that helps.

Q: What is the wattage required to run the Hobbyair respiraton system, part # 12-15850? I would have to use a generator to run this as it will need to be at a remote location.

400 watts would be required to run the system.

Q: PART# 09-00633 HOBBYAIR II SYSTEM INCLUDES 2-40FT HOSES @ HALF MASK: Can this be used for two persons?

No, this is a one person unit with 2 hoses at 40', totalling 80'. The 2-person unit is the Buddy System like part number 12-15870.

Q: What is the difference between the Hobbyair 1 and 2??

Hobbyair 1 has 40' of hose, and the Hobbyair 2 has 80' of hose to the mask.

Q: Will this Hobbyair respirator also work when doing fiberglass work?

Yes, you could use it while working with fiberglass.

Q: What is difference between this air turbine and HVLP spray trubine?

Per Vendor: "The turbine we use for our respirators has an appropriate (much lower) volume for breathing. Trying to breathe through a sprayer turbine would be very hot and way too much air."

Q: Will the full mask work if the user has a goatee? If not, do you sell a full painters hood that would work with your system?

It should work with a goatee, but it would depend on if its extremely long, braided, etc etc. We do have a hood that works with this system, it is part number 12-03319.

Q: How do you properly clean the mask and hose to insure no bacteria or other contaminants mix with air supplied?

Clean with an anti-bacterial soap and allow to dry before storage.

Q: Can the hobby air 1 part 12-15850 be used with more then 40 foot hose?

Yes, this has a speed control so can increase the amount of air.
