OK thanks

I just wish to take a look at it to see if it is really KO2, since there are some rumors about its composition. I don't think I will dare taking it UW.

Altough there are a few divers around here that actually use the IDA-71 in near original configurations including packing one o the scrubbers with O3...
According to them a little water on it is not that bad.

The stuff I got is probably quite old so its possible that it has degraded to some extent or been exposed to some contaminants.

I am not familiar with the units that use KO2 but I doubt the IDA-71 uses it. KO2 actually generates O2 and therefore needs no external gas supply.
