Anyone using a Hill Mk. 2 pump?

I'm considering buying one of these to use with my Steyr LP5 pistol and
I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with it? It appears to have a fairly unique method of capturing moisture.

Thanks for any opinions.

I have a Hill with the Dry-Pak system. It seems to work fine. I haven't used it recently when it's been very humid, but I certainly feel better trying to keep moisture out of my pistol. One concern I have is knowing when to replace the drying material. There's no indicator, and I'm sure its life depends on a variety of factors (humidity, how many times you use it, and how hot you let the pump get). I don't want to wait too long between changes, but I don't want to waste money replacing it too often. So far I've never gotten significant moisture out of the pump when I've bled it at the end of a fill.

I have the same setup and have been pleased with it. I use it to top up my cylinder after filling it from a SCBA tank. Manufacturer's instructions are to change the desiccant yearly and that is what I have been doing.
