| O2 slug
I was very torn in purchasing my first eCCR and as you can see I went with an evolution, which I am VERY happy with.
The Meg was my other consideration and still may be a second unit that I purchase in the future. I have a question about the addition of O2 with the Meg's, and who better to ask than current owners.
It is my understanding that the O2 addition is on the Inhalation counter-lung rather than the exhalation counter-lung. I was thinking about the thought process about this and was a little confused. Perhaps there is a benefit that I am not seeing.
If I manually add O2 (say, flying manually or maintaining high O2 during shallow deco) wouldn't I be inhaling almost pure O2 before it went around the loop and to the sensors? Would this cause problems at deep depths where O2 toxicity could occur with a slug of pure O2, should you have to fly it manually?
I am very interested in finding out what everyone thinks about my line of questioning. Believe me I am not defending another unit compared to the Meg, so I am hoping this will stay on the topic of my question.
Like I said, I am still thinking about a meg as a second unit, so all the help in getting me to understand the issue is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance for the responses.
