Good Review for a good product.

It makes me wonder why things aren't designed further in the first place.

Changing cells is a perennial problem that this solution achieves very well. I am always anxious about that top scrubber o-ring too.

However, and perhaps more importantly, I think this may well be suited to prolonging my cells / wiring condition.* Having clear access to the red caps for easy removal to aid better ventilation (without stressing the wires) will help preserve the quality of the machine and would have reduced the very expensive bill I have yet to pay for.

Well done to Beanie and John - good work.

When I can get some money, I'll definately have one.

Regards
Paul Channing

* APD have commented on a recent service that my cells / wiring were all mouldy (which they were), which is strange considering the age / way in which I dry and store the kit (though it never really got time to dry properly).

Thank you for your kind words

One thing that I will say is that you don't have to use the 4th cell option - you can just use it to make cell changing easier - you stilll retain the option of adding the 4th cell later with minimal fuss.

You realise that with it being more compact that the DeltaP 4th cell holder, and knowing how finely tuned your weighting is, you might have to put on a tiny bit more weight to compensate?!

no he won't he'll lose that little bit of gas so will need less lead which will make his rig lighter

Pierre,
Thanks for the write up of the product.

Great design. So much better than the DeltaP design.

Where do these units come from and how much.?
