I don't think so!All scuba compressor filters turn CO to CO2.
I don't think so!
YESDid you ever hear of anybody who got a bad fill from a dive shop? How do you mitigate that?
Ok, who do you trust to be in charge of your life. A minimum wager earner or yourself?
Hopcalite will convert CO to CO2 and should be included in the filter system.
Anybody that is running a compressor without a filter that converts CO to CO2 is not running a scuba compressor. Paintball, PCP air rifle yes, but not scuba. Some may say the exception would be an oilless compressor but even then if you get CO from another source you want to remove it.I don't think so!
Obviously it happens, and a stressed dive shop employee does not care as much about my air fills as I do. If we get fills from dive shops we need to check O2 levels AND CO levels. Just because we are paying for 21% does not mean someone has not filled with 36%. I have not yet taken to carrying a CO tester as Dandy Don preaches but I do run one on my own compressor.
Yes. They should have their last analysis report available for customers. Ask for it if it isn't posted. Do they use inline CO detectors? Do you test your tanks for CO and oxygen content?Did you ever hear of anybody who got a bad fill from a dive shop? How do you mitigate that?
