D tek is very good but not cheap

ps which ever you choose must have a sensitivity of 5g per years or less to comply with f gas regs

D-Tek Select, the white type with the little white filter in the end.

Shame the IR sensor gives up when you get leak spray down it though. Seems wholesalers don't keep them and they cost at least 50 quid.

Cheers,

Andy

I am using the Bacharach H10PM for about 2 years now I've replaced the Dtek select that failed on me several times. First it was the sensor, another time the sensor, then the battery this in about one year so I grew tired and bought the H10PM, on advice of a more expierenced collegue.

I haven't had to change out the sensor, just a few times the filter tips
Battery still goes for more the 2 hours so I am a happy tech looking for leaks :D
