Alternate Dilluent Inflator

Nigel handles the idea of having two dilluent inflators in his interesting article http://www.combro.co.uk/nigelh/rebreather/

"You can see that my unit has a plate to fit an alternate injector. This allows you to carry two diluent mixes. Admittedly people who dive sophisticated mixes don't seem to have one but if I like it I have it."

Even though I haven’t seen anybody using this idea, an other use for this extra inflator might be the possibility to have a proper bailout dilluent source permanently fixed into it. This would give more alternatives to fix problems without having to connect the LP-hose of the bail out cylinder into the one and only inflator.

How valuable would this somewhat increased security aspect be compared with the investment?

Standard functionality on the Meg and other Rebreathers.

The ADV acts as both as an ADV and a manual DIL addition valve and the remaining manual add is plumbed into the external bottom mix bailout and I have had to use it once too.....
