Just a little update... I have been filling my bottles one at a time while I search for the best pricing for the rest of the fittings. It is going painfully slow. I calculated out the fill rate and OxygenTech was right. It fills at 1.97 LPM (that's the 2LPM that he quoted earlier). Unfortunately this means that running the Homefill continuously will only fill 3 bottles a week (300's). It was taking just about 55 machine hours to fill 1 tank from bottom to top. I was getting faster fill rates after the 500psi mark but slows down after 1500psi. It seems to go faster from 500 to 1000 than it does 0 to 500. I guess it needs some preasure to build on. So don't completely empty your tanks. There's really nothing to take pics of just yet cuz you've seen it all before, one bottle, one homefill... I will post some pics once I have my other fittings in place. Because of the painfully slow fill rates, I am going back to get another Homefill from OxygenTech. I use 3 to 4 bottles a week without thinking about it... I need to be producing the stuff at a slightly faster rate than I am using it, and have enough stored on the back-end to support a full day's work every day... I'll keep working on it and get back to you.

BTW: I talked with OxygenTech on the phone the other day and we discussed some of the questions I had proposed on this site. He said that it depended on the relative humidity of the environment. I live next to the ocean and we do see fog from time to time. He assured me that this would most likely not be much of a problem. However, if I was concerned with this, I could get a vacuum and suck out any moisture from the system every 6 to 12 months. We talked about Minerdude's dryer idea, and he said that was a nice creative solution as well. We also talked about the normal wear and tear of these machines, that is 3 to 4 hours a day. As glass workers, we push them hard to keep up with our usage.
