I am more worried about CO2 by-passsing the scrubber via a failed oring or lose conection than stressing the cells.

Hey Matt hows things.

My concern would be if a cell parts away from the faceplate as mine did. You would then have a big hole giving you a nasty bypass. If you look at how the cells are constructed theres just a thin line of silicon around the edge of the faceplate. Maybe I had a bad batch (ive never had it before) But the fact is it did happen to me - more than once so it is a possible failure - and given the Meg design I cant help but think it could be a very dangerous failure

John I should have said 'tear down' rather than 'tear apart' LOL!

Dont worry your baby is still in once piece
