Where to get lime from?

Simon A · 22nd May 2005, 14:17

I've got to the stage with my homebuild that I now need to buy some Lime so I can test it as an O2 rebreather. Where in the UK do people get their lime from? (I'm after 4-8 mesh not 8-12 at this time) And how much is it? I'm initialy after 2 X 5kG cans, but if the price per kilo is enough different I'd buy a 20Kg drum.

Also have any UK inspiration divers got a current limited R22-d cell(or 2) around that they're prepared to part with? As I need one to bench test my PPO2 meters.

Regards

Divex sell by the kilo so that might help you.

I don't know the per kg price but a 20kg keg is £49.50 + VAT for the fine grain stuff.
