| Possible Meg scrubber by-pass
Hello Meg users,
I’ve recently noticed that on the upper side of my scrubber there is a gap between the black derlin part (where the head’s neck slides in when assembled) and the clear plastic body. The gap isn’t big enough to be seen but can easily be felt when one hand hold the clear body and the other moves lightly the black part.
Since day one, I always had a light movement of the U shape metallic part (used to hold on the bottom of the scrbber).
Now my question is could this be an issue that could lead to the exhaled gas by-passing the scrubber? To me it looks like it would as it’s the shortest and may well be the least resistance path.
The 2 parts of different material are not bounded together by any form of glue and it doesn’t look like any o-ring has been placed in to ensure the air tightness (on my canister that is). My unit is number 68. I’m not aware of any manufacturing changes on the canister since I bought my unit.
Anyone in the know how these 2 parts are supposed to ensure air tightness?
Did anyone experience this issue?
I’m living and diving in the tropics at the moment so no much difference of temperature between the water and the dry environment, also, I always keep my unit in the shade or covered under a wet towel during boat rides, I never dropped the canister or whatsoever…
I’ll try to put on a pic as soon as I can but I believe Meg users will have no pbm identifying the location I’m referring to.
Thank you for your input.
