Does your CO2 absorbent (Sofnolime?) tend to absorb moisture like desicant?
If not, have you considered adding some type of moisure absorber either to
the scrubber, or a seperate unit?

I know it wouldn't help in the case of a flooded loop, but it may
extend the life of you sensors, and keep them stable while you're
using them.
