There are two ways that I promised myself I would not die on a CCR:
  1. Pushing the scrubber.
  2. Pushing the batteries.
I am keeping my promise to myself because I am worth it. I think that all of the rest of you are worth it, too. Please do not take chances with relatively inexpensive components; replace them often enough to avoid problems.
Exactly! We own 10K units, I think we can afford these essentials.

It would almost be like buying a high end sports car and putting in wholesale, watered down 85 octane fuel.

It seems like in my short time on the board, this is one thing everyone has agreed on. And if you are an OC diver thinking about CCR, the question of "cost of consumables?" should be a moot point......

just my $.02
