Slow operation Failure to indicate >1.6 PPO2 on test Significant different reading to other cells Abnormal operation or indications its just not right Thats what I would be looking for anyway. If I had a unit with 3 cells I would replace on a routine basis (or failure) With 5 cells I have the...

As I said previously, I had to spend some money to get my REVO working as designed, and I would not have been happy until I got it reliable. I was not happy to dive it with known faults. If you cant afford to repair your breather so its reliable, you cant afford to dive rebreathers. I dont like...

Never had that issue or any other since I replaced everything

What was not made clear to me was the definition of "open" (unsealed). Is that totally open and not in any container at all? Or in a plastic bag or similar but not sealed to the environment in any way? I keep mine in plastic bags which are not vacuum sealed, hence my curiosity

The REVO gag strap/mouthpiece is bigger than the Divesoft BOV fitting (from memory as I am currently not home). A standard reg mouthpiece fits the Divesoft

Is there a gag strap for the divesoft BOV, as thats the BOV I currently have?

Always test BOV OC predive. Part of my check list

I am a little confused here about getting water into the solenoid? Are you suggesting to hook the offboard O2 to the onboard LP connector, thus water in the orifice will occur? Why not if you need to, hook the O2 into the offboard LP connector and drive the unit manually?

Wasn't a criticism of you, was just a general comment for post readers about pushing boundaries and the simplistic view of, it worked for me last week so all good, maybe I can go a little further etc.I know how easy it is to push boundaries (as I sometimes do it, but try and offset this thinking...

But with the REVO, unless you have to get off the loop, just plug in any inflator hose into the MAV block and stay on the breather. On all my bail/deco tanks I have a secondary reg (good for me and other divers), and an LP hose so I can plug any tank into my breather if required. Heaps of...

Had my REVO for about 2 years (purchased second hand, and in average condition but cheap). Soon as I bought it I had to replace both probes, the solenoid and O2 boards, send away the Predator for work. The Predator would not turn off unless the 9v battery was removed. Battery drain on the 9V...

Agreed Dr Mike, but at least we are using a large data set for these calculations. For the person who says its worked for ME in the past, the data set is pretty tiny by comparison.

For the risk in this look up articles on Normalised Deviation "Worked for me in the past"

Good point. SInce I changed my mouthpiece for a BOV the loop strap has gone. Maybe time to get that sorted!

You would be right in that statement, hehehe. I like redundency and two cells doesnt make me a happy chappy

I wonder why most re-breathers only have 3 cells? Cost? Mine runs 5 cells, 3 into the controller, 2 into a Nerd, that's true redundancy. I personally don't like the 3 cell only rigs (not the rigs themselves as such, but the logic of only 3 cells and piggybacking off two of them for the backup)...

I think thats called dive planning. Thats all covered before you start using a breather. What happens if you have wrong mix, what combinations of gas are right and why, what happens if you have wrong mixes etc etc.

As I dont know the Inspiration CCR and how it operates? Perhaps someone could enlighten me on the difference to a REVO? Does the Inspo have 3 cells? Is it hybrid or manual or fully auto? Is the canister a single one or two separate ones?

Seems the St lawrence River is a bit of a trap for divers? Whats the risk there? Cold water and poor vis? or is there more?

Well said and right on the money On my trip to Bikini in Truk Master, I was in the forward bunk at the bow. The escape hatch was at the bow, and I did have that in my mind. I too would take a California live aboard, only after ensuring that the ship was to my satisfaction. Liveaboards in third...
