Ah... well thank you people for your clarifications, and epsecially makes me rest eary now that I can go confidently in the knowledge that the scrubber IS well-designed and effective.

From your answers I basically I see now that...

1. that the pressure imbalance does not exist as (only) the diver pumps gas around the system only.
2. the sprung cannister and O ring seal ARE effective together, allowing the scrubber movement and the Sofnolime material to settle without either affecting seal integrity.
3. Geez those quarries must have some extreme entry points! Glad to see that one's TEETH are the only things that rattle, and NOT the filter system going "south". Should I pack a parachute or something to soften the landing?
4. Water (mostly small amounts) in the can - Oh OK I get that, and pleased that you have not found it a problem.
5. I understand that you stress that properly fitted and correctly aligned parts in the scrubber is KEY to it's proper function only. As with the rest of the unit - stuff MUST be carefully fitted as per - or risk failure, that's every diver's edict.
5. Also agree about great instruction and I WILL ask him to explain stuff too. But what your responses also prove that I have no need to ask about the scrubber seal/collar integrity. Also, sometimes due to some political or business imperitive answers from those instructing my come with a certain bias... That's why I asked people who just dive - YOU are ultimately the final word in objectivity.
You're right of course guys... and cheers again, I'll probably look back in a year of diving the "Inspo Way" and wonder why I had all these questions (fear of death) and what was I really going on about! However, I feel better my theory was ill-founded - proven by people who actually dive this kit, and still find it FUN!
Oh, and yes I don't mind being berated if I say the wrong thing... like they say in SOUTHPARK "there aint no such thang as a stoopid question... only stoopid PEOPLE!" Your generosity and venom are appreciated, just don't call me late to dive! Hehe
