Amazing how honest you seem! Not many good people left out there! Thx

With sidewall venting furnaces, water heater and boilers, there are certain clearance requirements that you have to follow so that the CO doesn't make it's way back into a window or air intake. My water heater PVC vent is probably closer to a louvered vent window in my basement than it should be, but I don't often open the window.

I ordered one because of your review. Many thanks.

Your multimeter is pretty dang sweet. Was noticing that yesterday

Carbon monoxide gets produced with incomplete combustion, yellow flames generally. Low temp fires or low oxygen fuel/air mixes.

I have a Sensorcon pocket CO2 meter that works well. That TopTes is very nice. It's amazing how it warned about just a small fire. BTW I'm enjoying myTesMen multi-meter. Im not sure how accurate it is. I have 3 meters and they all read differently ughhhh

I have a co sensor module used for carpark ventilation. It has a replacable co sensor module socketed to the pcb and the can has a sticker on it saying "contains acid" it also says replace after a certain date. It looks like you can remove your sensor aswel. Would be cool to see what it says.

It looks like a modern version of the Ghostbusters P.K.E meter.
