[PSUBS-MAILIST] scrubber cartridge

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Alan,
It seems that when I let absorbent sit in the scrubber between dives it goes bad.  I remove the scrubber and put it in a plastic bag and seal it.  Maybe I am creating a condensation situation. I think James mentioned that he removes the absorbent  and stores it in the original containers.  Maybe that is the way to go.  I also have used 20yr old absorbent  and it worked great.  Anyways I will buy a few cartridges and see how they work.

Hank,
I like the scrubbers with the see through canisters & the absorbent that changes
color. Emile has this, & you can  see how much absorbent you have left from anywhere
in the sub. No waste with this.

Maybe we can do a real life cost comparison.  How much does Sodasorb cost per hr of use.  How well does it stay fresh when sitting partly used in a scrubber.  I find that I throw a lot of absorbent away, probably from a lack of experience working with it.

      general consensus was that cost outweighs convenience and it never
      really caught on.  We had Micropore reps as our guest at the 2008
      convention and discussed pros/cons of modifying their rebreather
      canisters for personal submarine use.  They had even offered to do
      some testing for us and at one time PSUBS was moving toward
      dealership of their products.

      air flow to provide ultimate dwell time for the CO2 and efficient
      absorption.
