Re: standard axial scrubber duration in shallow warm water?

I dive evolution and I did run up to 8 hours and half in shallow water with tempstick still showing 2 bars and water temp 23 to 28 celsius. I pushed it in controlled conditions with OC divers. Usually I consider 5 to 6 hours conservative enough if everything went smooth. If I dive deeper or I had more exercise than expected I change scrubber earlier. For me the problem is when you go up to the limits and something goes wrong and you exercise more than expected and you have not enough area in your scrubber to work properly.
