Come to think of it i have done 40mins at 70m and 195min run on a classic so i shouldn't be looking too perky either.

You don't.

You saw that coming, didn't you, inviting it like that.

Seriously though, I applaud Kim for getting the scrubbers tested.
Doing it to CE protocol more so as it does give comparative figures.
How many senseless discussions about Inspo (CE) vs PRISM (USN) results.
Besides, maybe mCCR can or will be able to pass CE after all.

Anyway, divers now have some real numbers, and from a known protocol.
Did you know what the previous 3hr and 2 1/2 hr ratings were based on?
I never knew.

And I agree with all of you, EVER UNIT ought to get the scrubber tested.
Preferably at the same protocol, only that way data is comparable.

Personally, I would like to see data for 40m, 75m and 100m (and max rated depth if it's deeper than that). At 1.0 lpm and 1,6 lpm CO2 addition.
As well as a semingly insane 3 lpm. Iain's testing with the quick breakthrough is still on my mind, it would be good to know if a scrubber can take some insane breathing or not.
