Which O2 analyser?

[mr_v]

We just pixed up an open box but otherwise new Solo for around $300 so trying to figure out if it's worthwhile to grab said flow limiter.

How many tanks do you fill? Are you in a hurry? Do you feel like adjusting things manually is a pain?

Here, look at this video:


Btw, if you are wondering whether it is worth upgrading from the small, black, limiter that ships w the unit by default... My answer is yes.

Cool thanks for the info!

Don’t you need a flow meter (ball in a cone) to calibrate an adjustable flow?

Or just get a fixed orifice limiter which has a fixed flow.

If you have a first stage and inflator hose you don't need any flowlimiter at all. Just plug the Divesoft nippel into the inflator hose. The nippel has a very small orifice, that makes a small flow.

Every diver has a first stage and inflator hose.

No doubt, the small black "limiter" is not easy to handle. It is similar to Nuvair O2 QuickStick Portable Oxygen Analyzer Sensor Air Tester for Scuba Diving difficult to get a tight connection to the valve. Not sure it you measure what's inside the tank or if you measure a mixture of tank's gas and air around you.

But Divesoft sells the orifice nippel and the white hose, problem solved. And price for O2 analyzer only (no He) is perfectly OK.
