I was told the can is to be made from Alluminium and the top part will be changed from yellow plastic to black. looked quite robust to me.
Prepack = granules. It looks like it has a foam pad inside to provide loading (same way MK15.5 works) I spoke to the guy who owns both companies (CS Lunar and Posiedon) and he said that although they themselves wont be supplying user fillable scrubbers he has no doubt someone will (aftermarket)

He also told me they are launching a trimix tech version at dema this year that you can program your bail gas volumes into.

Overall I was impressed with the safety features of the unit. light and well thought out. Ill be getting the chance to dive on shortly.

WOB is 1.77 which puts it up with the best.

1.77 WOB sounds very good, those hoses look very small though.

Very cool Mike, thanks for the info. I hope you post about your experience diving it.

I'm glad to hear the tmix version will be at DEMA. But it is my understanding from talking to Richard Pyle that the recreational unit will not do a surface cal with O2 lower than 99% purity, which means that diving in remote places with say 95% will not be possible. Did this issue come up during your conversation with the owner?
