[PSUBS-MAILIST] tampon filters

[Land N Sea]

Hank,

I’ve used tampons in LP air filter systems for keeping the moisture down in my breathing air but don’t think they will help with odder. Our SAT systems had a separate canister of activated charcoal that sat inline with the scrubber canisters for smells from the toilet (and farts) which worked pretty well but I do remember once calling out to the system control house to activate the inside bids for us it was so bad the charcoal couldn’t keep up with it!

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, !!
Hank
