I think that is all the HobbyAir system is (
http://clmc.hypermart.net/hobbyair.htm ,
http://www.axispro.com/hobby_air/hoblink.html 2 links chosen at random
). Its puts out a fair amount of air but is _quite_ noisy. I had to open
it up once after I dropped it and its just a simple turbine fan inside,
isn't that all a HVLP is ? The filters are pretty simple also so I would
not trust them to clean up the air that it pumps too much. The hoses are
long enough to keep the pump in clean air so I don't worry about it. If
that is all a HVLP system is, then it would probably be cheaper to buy a
cheap HLVP than a HobbyAir or its equivalent but the masks are not cheap,
you have to look into that also.
