I think we need to better define " Cascade ".

Thats a pretty generic term that does not describe the capacity of the equipment and with a "Cascade," capacity is pretty important.

A standard "Cascade System" - High Pressure Breathing Air Storage Cylinders ONLY

A "Cascade with Booster" - High Pressure Breathing Air Storage with electrical or pneumatic pump to boost low pressure to high presssure.

A "Compressor Refill System" - A High Pressure Pump usually (6000 psi) which fills High Pressure Storage Cylinders

If anyone has a different type, please feel free to add.

Stay Safe
