[PSUBS-MAILIST] scrubber

Hi Alec,
Yes, I like it, small scrubber and just throw the rest out.  I have been diving with the o2 and scrubber off.  I am starting to go deeper longer so it is time to abandon that practise.  Gamma's original scrubber is beyond simple, it is a super big noisy fan with an open top brass canister with a screen at the bottom.  The NOISY fan pulls air through it.  The canister holds enough absorbent for a 10 hr dive with two people.  Hmmm, maybe I will go back to that with a new quiet fan.

 Yes, Snoopy's works
 just fine. It's just that I'm building a new sub, so
 needed a new scrubber. I wanted the human-powered option,
 and since there's two people that meant two small
 scrubbers instead of one bigger one. Once the R&D is
 done, printing out a second is relatively straight forward,
 even if a very slow process.
 
 I load the scrubber agent at the start of the
 day and throw it out at the end. It isn't a large
 quantity, just 2 liters. Apart from the loaded scrubber, I
 carry two 2-liter soda bottles in the sub so that, in the
 event of getting stuck, I would have refills. Having a small
 scrubber and refills means that I'm not throwing out
 loads of unused stuff.
 
 Best,
 
 Alec

 efficient, why upgrade it.  Do you need to bag the scrubber
 between dives or do you remove the absorbent.  I am adding
 a second scrubber and just trying to figure out the best way
 to go.  My current scrubber is sealed air tight and I am
 wondering if that is necessary.
