Features of the EtherFill 5000

The fill whip on the EtherFill 5000 is a flexible high-pressure 60-inch hose with stainless steel fittings. The fill whip includes a valve and a male DIN connector. If you need a yoke connection, just spin on a Dive Rite RG1200 DIN-to-Yoke adapter (working pressures limited to 3300 psi with the yoke adapter).

The pressure gauge is a quality Dive Rite SPG calibrated to 5000-psi in 100-psi increments. Its solid brass and tempered glass housing features a Bourdon tube mechanism. The Bourdon tube design provides the greatest degree of accuracy and reliability -- especially when enclosed in a solid-metal case. The EtherFill 5000 is also available as a metric version reading in BAR.

The NiMH-battery technology on the EtherFill 5000 is similar to that found in Dive Rite lights. NiMH batteries are substantially smaller and lighter than gel cell batteries offering comparable output.

The red LED indicates the status of the network congestion management algorithm. The LED blinks to indicate the EtherFill 5000 is searching for any network devices. Once found, each network device will be automatically shutdown. Thus you may rest assured that you will never experience network congestion problems with the EtherFill 5000.

Benefits of the EtherFill 5000

If you use a Dive Rite multi-gas dive computer, such as the NiTek Duo, you'll love the fact that you can download a variety of Fill Express's premix breathing gases. You can download Fill Express's Nitrox premixes (32%, 36%, 40%) as well as deco gases (50%, 80%, and 100%). Trimix divers appreciate the benefits of using Fill Express's premix Normoxic Trimix (21%/35%) with a technical dive computer. Note that although demand for the EtherFill 5000 is climbing steadily, the massive Fill Express storage banks are able to provide the ultra-pure gases you want, without the wait.

As always, after you complete your breathing gas download, you should analyze your cylinder contents with an Oxygen Analyzer because your download might have been corrupted. You can double check your cylinder pressure with the Dive Rite DIN Cylinder Pressure Check Gauge.

If you are a Dive Rite 905 drysuit diver, you can also download Argon from Fill Express. Dive Gear Express has all the accessories you need to stay warm diving by using Argon.

Coming Soon -- The EtherFill 5000 Plus will enable you to upload your leftover fills to your own private storage bank housed at Fill Express. You will be able to use your stored gas yourself at a later date, share it with your buddy, or trade it with other EtherFill 5000 Plus owners. For green rebreather divers concerned about the new cap and trade policies on CO2 emissions, the EtherFill 5000 Plus will allow you to upload CO2 from your scrubber and reduce your carbon footprint. Many have suggested we add a USB option and we are researching the feasibility of an O2 compatible USB cable allowing you to store gas on any 5000 psi rated thumb drive. We hope to have the new Plus version available very shortly as we are using the same engineering talent that developed the Nitek X for Dive Rite.
