We use the earlier one without a tank, wouldn't be without it. If you need to sick a liner patch in the deep end it makes it simple.

Thanks! Do you use the tankless one to pressurize lines as well?

Way too much noise. Would never be able to use a listening device. We use High pressure compressed air tanks. Very quiet.

Yes we do, you need to keep it as far away as possible and not on a solid deck else you hear the vibration. We also use a radio controlled socket to
plug it in to so that its easy to turn off and on when listening without walking back and foreward.

I just got my pd-50 a few weeks back and have used it to pressure test, only on residential pools though. I make sure to keep it as far away as I can,
but have been successful with it.
I use a higher capacity air tank for commercial testing.

love mine, it is light weight and handy; sure beats hauling steel dive tanks around. I use it for diving and pressure checking. Only problem I have
had is that the plastic in line filter connection leaks, it should be made of SS or Brass.
