[quote=This has two implications - work harder and
the scrubber will work harder, and go deeper and the scrubber will work
harder (or ascend and the scrubber doesn't work so well, which means that if
it's on the edge of breakthrough close to the shallow stop on a deco
dive...go figure).

This statement doesn't square with the empirical data. This shows that over a pretty wide range of scrubber types, sizes, and configurations, all other things being equal, the scrubber duration decreases about 14 % for each ata of depth.... and recovers some 'efficiency' as you come up from a deeper dive. How do you explain ??
