Up to 25% off of rebreather sensors at CCRsense.com!

teksimple

When you buy sensors in quantity of 3 at the CCRsense store, you save 10%. Through next weekend, CCRsense is offering Rebreather World members an additional 15% off of the sensor retail price. That's 25% off of the normal retail price of a sensor.

Just sign up for an account on CCRsense.com account, and during the checkout process, enter the coupon code RBWmember. The 15% savings will be deducted from your order.

Just bought sensors from another manufacturer? If you sign up for a CCRsense.com account before next weekend, within 24 hours I will send you out a coupon that is good for 10% off on any order you place for the next year!

Coming soon: CCRsense.com Gift Certificates with a built-in discount. What else would a CCRDD (CCR-diving dad) like more than fresh sensors for Father's Day?

I tried to order, but what I need is already sold out. Any options?
Thanks;

Bill - please try again. I stocked up the web site, in a virtual sense only. A shipment of fresh sensors is being flown in early next week and I imagine I will be able to ship out to you no later than Thursday morning.

I thought the thousands of dollars I spent on my first inventory of sensors would at least last a week or two. It didn't last 48 hours! All good. This means you get very, very fresh sensors.

I very much appreciate your business.

OK. I am not sure why no one called me on this before. I will blame it on the many recent late nights of PHP coding.

10% discount for sensors in quantity of 3. The 15% off of retail means that you get 15% off of the 90% of retail. That is 23.5% off of retail, NOT 25% off!

Yeh, Try Teledyne. There sure seems to an awfull lot of faith in this study, based on twelve sensors. I would have less trouble with the study if there were hundreds of sensors from each manufacturer evaluated, all pulled at random from the process over a period of time.

BTW, I have had no problems with Teledyne sensors over a 7 year period on 2 heavily dove CCR units.

I think a lot of the problems on sensors comes from the unit designs (sensor placement in the loop). It seems some units (Types) seem to have a lot of problems, others not.

Fully agree that the study could have been better designed with a much larger N value. The amazing thing is, WHY hasn't a better study been done? A saying with graduate students is that if they did a flawless study in the first place, they would never get money to to do a better study. The fact is, this is the best study that has been done yet. We should not be complaining, we should be cheering. Both Teledyne and AII have done considerable changes based on this "troublesome" study with puny sample size, so would YOU prefer, Dale, if the study was not done at all and we kept on diving with what is good enough for most divers?

I frankly would not give a damn if business suffers and people lose their jobs and livelihoods because of some study that picked on some poor company that was just trying to make an honest living. I will be loyal to a company so long as doing so doesn't shorten my life expectancy.

Some people like Harley Davidson motorcycles. Others prefer Yamaha. Very few will disagree (especially those who have owned both) that Harley's are less reliable than Yamaha motorcycles. Yet a huge following of Harley Davidson owners will continue to pay a significant premium for them in spite of their notorious--albeit less in recent years--unreliability.

I do not think that Harley would be in existence if they made oxygen sensors. Point being is that if you--by some genuine criteria--feel that a certain company makes the most reliable sensors, by all means buy them!

I am sure you will agree that company loyalty should have limits with regard to life support equipment. Considering recent actions to improve their sensors, this premise is undoubtedly not lost on Teledyne and AII.

We pulled 12 at a time, from batches over a 6 year period, repeatedly. We reported the latest batches, or two batches, as we did not see the point in explaining the design changes and improvements historically: we focus on what sensors do, not the problems they had years ago.

With 12 samples from a batch, one should not see any problems if the sensor is fit for purpose. The fact that we found issues with all sensors on all batches from some suppliers says a lot. If you apply the Chi-squared test to quantify the significance of that result, it is over 97%.

Our work was to verify the figures issued by manufacturers, not to do the job the manufacturer should have done.

None of the sensor companies depend on diving for a living. Diving is a very small part of the market for O2 sensors. No-one should lose their livelihood from selecting one cell instead of another cell, and any case, as several people have pointed out, this is very much a secondary consideration when it comes to life critical systems.

It behoves any company doing a rebreather design to check the quality of the components it is designing in. This study is simply those checks on one component: the O2 cells.

all 3 AI cells you sent me have prematurely failed (6mv) and i am leaving for a florida cave diving trip in just over a week! Help!

so much for my comparison to teleydyne

Too bad there weren't the cells for the Prism Topaz, it would be nice to have an alternate source.

great

"CCRsense staff are away for a dive adventure and a visit to the Analytical Industries, Inc. factory. All orders placed after July 27th will be shipped on August 9th directly from California. Thank you for your patience and understanding"

Thats me f_cked then
