I have tried promoting Micropore products a lot in the past but
general consensus was that cost outweighs convenience and it never
really caught on. We had Micropore reps as our guest at the 2008
convention and discussed pros/cons of modifying their rebreather
canisters for personal submarine use. They had even offered to do
some testing for us and at one time PSUBS was moving toward
dealership of their products.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Look at the following link to see how I proposed modifications of
their smaller canister without any permanent damage to the
original. Never tested however, the big question was appropriate
air flow to provide ultimate dwell time for the CO2 and efficient
absorption.<br clear="none">

I always felt the convenience was worth the price and plan on
using Micropore as modified above in the K600.<br clear="none">
