    I also analyze NITROX every time, even air tanks if they could possibly be filled with NITROX.
    +1 every tank. for O2 and CO and HE

    I bought an analyzer out of pure fear right before my wife and I went to Mx. I found some CO in one of the tanks from a fill station claiming to have an inline shutoff. They took it seriously and analyzed every tank they had filled that day, despite low levels. I even shipped my analyzer to a buddy who was going to Mx for caving, just so he could use it. He returned 0ppm every time. I've checked the LDS a few times, and gotten 0ppm every time. I'll still check, even "trusted" sites. I've checked Edd's tanks every time anyway.

    That's why I bought my own CO meter

    I analyze every tank in Mexico. I don't typically check in Florida Cave Country.

    They should incorporate a CO tester into a HE/o2 tester

    Though I love my O2/He analyzer when you send it back for repairs you lose both until it's returned. Care with your eggs and baskets
