Am I missing some great conspiracy Im not aware of? Ive seen the membrane on Phils unit, there are old pics from Dema showing the membrane fotted and its available from Kevin. I think there are a number of people using them already.
I have been told by Phil the WOB is still within CE levels with the membrane fitted. I have no reason to disbelieve him

Mike. Now I don’t give a jot for the conspiracy but it happened months ago.

However the use of membranes in rebreathers is a very interesting area and being offered as an option with the Boris deserves a better response.
A clear transparent peer reviewed discussion from the original request for information in this post and the subsequent claims have left omissions.

I for one would now like to know if this new latest membrane offered on the Boris web site is Quote:
(Closed Circuit Research has now perfected a 'plastic style' hydrophobic membrane system. The membrane can be retro-fitted to the existing canister and is positioned by replacing the outer mesh ring. The positioning stops the migration of absorbent dust and moisture on long dives, into the inhale counterlung. Should a temporary flood occur in the inhale circuit, then water is prevented from accessing the absorbent. The membrane can simply be flushed with fresh water and dried.) End Quote

Is it as claimed in this post the same as the USN Mark 16 yes or no?
Was it as claimed in the post: Tested with the original EN CE submission and was the membrane tested found to have the same WOB as has been claimed?

This is an ideal opportunity to discuss membranes. use it of loose it.
