Inspiration Scrubber Time

adrenalin_junkie · 12th March 2008, 14:19

Hi All, Question: you have fresh scrubber fill in your Inspiration Classic and plan to do a dive to 75m with total dive time of 90min (you complete this dive to plan)and then two days later are planning to do the same dive plan again. Would you use the same fill again or use a fresh fill. It’s not about being tight, just wondering what others are do.

Don't Be Tight>>>> Change The Scubber!

Fresh fill. Sorb is cheap. Life is not. Why chance it?

if the water is cold, you would probably put yourself in danger if you have to do some effort!
no doubth, change!

Buy another bucket, and save the one you have for shallow dives...

According to the manual you have 10 minutes below 50m left.
You can save on a fill but it's hardly much of a dive.

I always like Gordon Henderson's take on the scrubber rules.

2 dives with 180´ shouldnt be a problem

Urm!! Shouldn't be a problem. Not very scientific.

I have been Trimix diving Inspirations since October 2000. First a Classic and now a Vision with Temp stick ( Scrubber monitor). I feel the reason i am still alive is because i sticto the rules.

It costs between £8-10 a fill for a scrubber. My life is worth more than £8-£10.

Bin the bloody stuff and put a new fill in.

There is one big unwritten scrubber rule that should be in the manual but it isn't.

"If you cannot afford to change your scrubber material/cells. You should not be diving CCR."

the problem is not the deco

at 75m, and in cold water, say 4°, on an inspiration scrubber that has 100' already, and then for some reason he has to work really hard: I (think) there is real chance to break trough

in warm water, there would probably be less a problem
