I just suggest to to do some tests with a boris with only a inhale CL with the OPV on it just like MK15.
The other modification is to increase the ability of the exhale CL to maintain more water in it before going in the scrubber (perhaps changing the place of the OPV ).
The solution of the unique inahle CL as the interest of lowering the leak risk in the exhale part of your Rebreather that you cant easily and quickly detect.
Thats a technical choice that has been done after long reflexion either on the Joki Rebreather and the Decorider (side monted RB ).
Nothing is perfect in the Rebreather world, I neither flame for pleasure, just reflexion.
The "tonality" of some responses make me feel that I was right to open a new thread when the subject is "disturbing

There is a reason why modern units have two CLs

I was going to get a Decorider or Joki until I got my hands on one and spoke to people who got flooded loops on them

Your focusing not on the problem. The best place for flood recovery on boris is the exhale CL = fact. The 'problem' is the OPV is not very muck tolerant and can leak causing a flood.

The solution (baring in mind the exhale side is the best place to put a flood recovery device in) is to make the opv more muck tolerant.

Do you really want to just move a muck intolerant opv to the inhale lung? Why not make it muck tolerant first? And if your going to do that...then theres no need to move it is there
