Well, it's in a liquid state right now. I can tell by shaking the tanks..

No way to tell if it's clean or not. The Paintball shop stuff might be loaded with oil..


I was thinking of making a filter or maybe buying an air filter.?.

Perhaps the kind they use on shop air compressors.

What do you think? An air filter work?

Here's one from HomeDepot.

As long as the exit line at the other end (submerged in water), is open,
then CO2 PSI shouldn't be a problem. (it can get up to 900 psi otherwise).

This looks good too..

It's the type used on heat pumps. (Bi-directional).
