Don,
That stuff is fine for sh*ts & giggles, but please realize that by you "testing" a few times will only tell you on that given day under those circumstances those were your results.
It doesn't translate to a "these are my limits" absolute. There are way too many variables that can dramatically change those results.
You need to account for this with a healthy safety margin to avoid the one time that the rules don't fit.
Hey, can I gather from your tests that if I watch TV while diving I can get 7 hours from my scrubber?
Dive Safe,

All of this testing is done with low/no workload and doesn't take into account for hard swimming and such.
That is why I still unroll each and every cartridge that I use and record the useage. I continue testing until I have a consistant average to work with and then add the necessary safety margin.
As far as you getting 7 hrs via the TV, who knows?
If you just sit and watch TV, you will get more duration than if you are up and walking around, or diving.
