Hi to all



Does anyone have any experience (or know someone who

has) with these floats being filled with nitrogen gas

instead of compressed air.



Removing the bladders every season to drain the

condensation water can be a pain in the neck in the

long run.



Regards

Mich

It might be easier to use a paint spray setup when you fill. My compressor 

has a air dryer that would probably remove enough moisture to prevent 

condensation.

I once needed really dry air from my paint compressor. I ran 50 feet of

air hose coiled up in an ice chest filled with ice, then to a painting

air dryer (water separator), then to my hose going to the sprayer. The

cold air hose really forced out all the moisture so when it got to the

water separator it collected a lot of water that I probably would not

have gotten out without cooling the air coming out of the compressor. It

worked great.

I believe, though am not certain, that the bladder material is urethane.

Moisure vapor tranmission through this film occurs over time. 

Dry air is a good starting point.
