Midland Diving Equipment (MDE) make portable towers, cost approx. 200UKP. They 
also make valves, manifolds etc. They are in Leicester, unfortunately I have not
got the telephone no' on me, but they advertise in Diver.     Andy

About 8 to 9 years ago I was in a dive shop in north London (UK) and I came 
across some portable filters that you could put between your tank and the 
compressor. Basically one end attached to the hose of the compressor and 
the other end to the tank valve. This did not replace the filter already in 
the compressor but as air quality can vary so much between dive shops it 
gave you some peace of mind. You never know until after you have got your 
cylinder and you take the first breath whether it is dodgy or not and the 
cost of having to get your cylinder and valve cleaned to get rid of the 
taste and smell.
Does anybody know who made them and if they are still making them. Correct 
me if I am wrong but would this then not allow people to get their Nitrox 
cleaned cylinders filled from compressors and air shops that do not provide 
Nitrox.
If anybody knows where to get them please drop me a line. I have a friend 
who is an engineer who would be willing to make a few up if we cannot find 
a supplier.
