ExtendAir vs Dolphin Scrubber on mCCR?

**jkromelow** · 27th August 2005, 15:38

One of the things people have been telling me about my mCCR Dolphin is that the weakest part is the Draeger scrubber. Weakness has been described from a duration perspective for CCR use, and a scrubber design/construction perspective for deeper dives. Does anyone know how the ExtendAir system compares to the stock scrubber for this use? Will it perform longer/better for an mCCR? Is the dsign and build of the scrubber better suited for deeper dives (200-250').

Should have looked here first ... just posted an answer on SB.

Also, if you look in the O2ptima forum you'll find plenty of heated discussion regarding the scrubber ... in most every thread.

Thanks for the info. I have been cross posting on SB to try to cover all bases.

Note that Micropore makes a drop-in replacement scrubber can for the Dolphin that takes their inserts.... kill two birds with one stone perhaps?

Not a horrid price either - $350.
