Tami, I forgot how many of Bacharach's tools are called Fyrite. I am using the old liquid sample and mix system for CO2, they have a similar one for O2 but the reagent is different. I certainly don't trust reading on the low end to be very accurate. This has limitations for fluctuating combustion, but is an excellent check against the continuous O2 monitors.
