[PSUBS-MAILIST] tampon filters

[hank pronk]

Vance,
I am taking air off the manifold for the scuba regulator. I have made no changes to the hp system, it is all original.   I have a compressor on board to re-fill the hp tanks.  I like how convenient it is to fill the hp tanks without taking them out of the sub.

You lost me here. A compressor? Why not tap into the HP system with a two charging blocks and clamp on scuba 1st/2nd stage regulators? You need a BIBS of some sort, and the simpler the better, as smoke tends to unravel the nerves a bit with a couple of hundred feet of water over your head. What air do you need to pump?

Gamma has an onboard hp compressor now.  Since I may need to breathe the air from the main hp tanks in case of smoke or passing gas :-)  I need to filter the air.  I am making a filter housing from a hydraulic cylinder and filling it with tampons.  I read that tampons work for this.  Is that true?  I hate buying tampons, !!
