Hi Gill and indeed the rest of the Rebreather community,

Please do not even entertain the use of any LoFlo absorbents, They are designed to interact with Co2 at a much slower rate than normal Co2 absorbents and using them in diving equipment is fatal. You will begin your dive normaly and then get in some real trouble pretty quick.

As a ref look at the APD website where a diver recently died using Amsorb Loflo absorbent, we have been involved in a couple of other diver death inquests were this has been the case.

Regards

Stephen

I was reading up on the color die used in sodasorb after reading Mark's discoveries on the measuring of the EAC degree of exhaustion and stumbled upon this: SODASORB® LF CO2 Absorbent
Not sure how new this really is, but permanent color change sounds like it might actually make the color reactive sodasorb truly useful to
Rebreather diver and not just the Anesthetician. I'm wondering if anyone has done similar tests on this stuff as Mark and others are doing with the EAC's. If not, what are we waiting for?
