Beautifully made and with a very professional clean clear and concise data sheet. This will do well, I guess 6000 ADP rebreathers times 2? LOL.
I have one small question, as I don’t understand you fully on the lubrication.
Although as I speed read, I first read it as “Do not lubricate (with) any other lubricant and not “Do not lubricate any other component.” You do say strongly use only Fomblin18.
On one hand the 0-rings you specified are fluorocarbon and I can see this for low temp flow and pressure drop performance (in a dynamic condition) etc. However you specify only Fomblin18 as the only lubricant allowed. Yet the rings are in static condition, Why?
With your fluorocarbon polymer choice I would have thought that the standard scuba Christo-lube MCG III would have been your preferred choice, also most divers and dive shops (I guess) use it. I’m just intrigued why Fomblin 18 and no other lubricant. iain
Iain,
A good point well put. We hope it does do well, but there will always be those who prefer to buy the cheap alternative because it has a factory sticker on it.
I really hadnt had time to look into any great detail at other lubricants. I will amend the manual to reflect your suggestion to read "or equivelant".
Many thanks for bringing this up.

Which current rebreathers will it fit?

Jonny,
We are loathed to quote any other until we have properly tested it in other units, but we will in time. Yes, the Meg is top of the list!!
