Hi AD_ward9, I think our friend here is trying to build an O2 rig. ppO2 monitoring is not an issue I would guess. But you are right about channeling.

I was diving an O2 homebuilt some years back based on a bike inner tube and PVC pipe. To prevent channeling I improvised a system to keep the scrubber material tighly packed. Some pics are still up at http://www.kamarinos.com/rebreather/DIY_CCR_EN.html

btw, inner tubes are extremely duarable and fairly inexpensive. You can easily build a couple of sets for next to nothing. However, you must first do several thorough washes with hot soapy watter to get rid of the rubbery taste and smell

Cheers,
GKAM
