The lack of CO2 PP data is a major problem with all present rebreathers. Has anyone tried a Severinghaus electorde in one? If not why not. One doesn't need ETCO2 just average CO2, so the response time shouldn't be an issue? Wouldn't this be better than nothing?

Unfortunately current CO2 sensor technology deosn't work in a 100% humidity environment
But CO2 control is easy on the Inspiration. Just stick to the Scrubber duration rules and you wont have a problem
The golden Scrubber Rules
1. Only use Sofnolime 797
2. Maximum scrubber time 180 minutes
3. Be shallower than 50m at all times after 50 minutes use
4. Be shallower than 20m at all times after 140 minutes use
5. If in doubt, tip it out
6. Always re-grease and check the fitting of the scrubber O ring and spacer
7. If you don't follow 1 - 6 fine, but don't moan if you get injured or die!
