Ian, Interesting information. From the looks of the date on there PDF file, they have larger units planned as well. Also there is a note about it being safe for indoor use with zero harmful emissions claimed. I'm still not sure if the cartridges take O2 out of the air, but it doesn't look like you have to provide any from a tank. I'm not sure what your talking about with regards to water vapor collection. It sounds like you just pour some water into the unit of which goes into the cartridge starting a chemical reaction. I wouldn't expect all that much water vapor to come out of it. But if there was you could have it's vent going directly into your air circulation system that has water absorption cartridges inline.
