Uhh...... <never take this bad advice>.....
I dove a LAR-V scrubber that had been packed and used for an hour *three years before* that had just been tossed into the metal shipping trunk for the LAR-V and left there. Put another 3 hours on it.... dumped it when I got bored of diving it.
Bad idea as a habit, but methinks that the truth is that it's not all that big a deal to keep one bagged until the next dive "sometime soon".

just wondering that for the sake of $10 some are asking for it? it works till it didn't this time?
