Subject: Fw: Nitrox Stick
Date: Fri, 4 Dec 1998 19:14:04 -0800



Somebody out there correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding of this
thing from the literature I  read is this device pre-blends up to 40% nitrox
on the intake of an oil lubed compressor (continuous blend). If your
filtration system is not producing OCA and your using this thing I would say
that your contaminating O2 clean tanks being filled with this system, unless
you are a disciple of the lame stickers that let you chose between
"pre-blend" or " O2 clean". Also I bet most compressor manufacturers will
not approve of this system being used with their equipment.
   If memory serves me correctly these things are made by a dive store in
Spokane but are marketed now by GMC.
