Re: Maybe eCCR's really aren't the wave of the future?

Hey Dave, I just downloaded their info and watched the video. Nice piece of equipment, but.....

One display, one controller. Not what I am comfortable with. And all those blinking codes!! I am just a simple minded bloke.

Price isn't bad though.

Run it with a VR-3 as a tertiary system and you have all ya need..... it's simply excellent in actual use. I am an EXTREME sceptic on these topics... and with that said I am *completely* comfortable with the rEvodream, more so than any other package I have used.


The codes are FAR more simple than the literature would indicate. GREEN means you are "OK". GREEN ONLY means you are dead-on. GREEN *and* ORANGE means that PP02 is "OK" but that it's time to push the add button for a second, and GREEN *and* RED means that you overshot the PP02 "a little".

Yes, you can learn more by looking at the flash rate of the amber or red, but as long as it's green too, who cares? Just remember that "a little amber is a little low" and a "lot-o-amber is a lot-low". Even so, as long as there is still green ALSO you are safe, GREEN = YOU ARE OK (and likely to stay that way).

My routine:

When it goes to green+amber, I add for 3 seconds. It will either go to green-only or maybe green+red for a minute. I hang out and when it goes to green+amber I add another shot of 02. I actually deliberately run the 02 to green+red, watch it drop thru green-only, and at green+amber I add. The cycle takes me about 5-10 minutes.

Amber only means "really low" and red only means "really high".


That's pretty simple no?

Dave

And the colors of the sea blind your eyes with trembling mermaids, For the sparkling waves are calling you to kiss their white-laced lips.
And you see a girls brown body dancing through the turquoise, And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea.
And when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body, Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind......
