Radial Scrubber for Meg

Do you make one for the Mini Meg? If available what would the cost be?

We can make one. I just need to know the length of your Mini meg scrubber, if you want it that size (you will have an insert at the bottom), or the distance between the bottom of the can and the shiny locking mechanism of the sensor assembly, if you want full length.
The measurements need to be pretty accurate (in mm). Does the Mini meg use same head as other Megs? If so, you can measure the height of your can (inside) and we can calculate the size of the scrubber.
I use full length of the can in my Movie meg. The scrubber goes from the bottom of the can all the way to the sensor holder assembly.
I have just an abosorbent pad beneath it to soak up the moisture.

Hi Rodge.

You can always use Google and type f.ex. "8 lbs to kg".

Result:

8 pounds = 3.62873896 kilograms

Best regards
Morten

Thanks for that!
Will remember it for the future

Hi jakub,

I was wondering, if you use your standard scrubber on a Movie meg, does that mean you could make an extra long scrubber for the standard Meg? Would there be any WOB issues?

Thanks

I have both size scrubbers/cans myself. The only difference is length. The head goes on either size scrubber/can.

I measured the distance from the floor of the can to the top edge of the can (i.e. the height of the column of water if you fill the can to the very top edge). Mini Meg is 13.5" and Full Meg is 17.5" - no spacers, pads, etc.

I'd be interested in a radial scrubber for my mini as well. Probably would hold as much sorb as my full Meg w/ it's factory axial scrubber.

Yes, we can make an extra long scrubber. There should be no WOB issues, it is a radial scrubber. If anything it should improve the WOB. You will increase the chance for the caustic cocktail, though. Little water at the botom of the can will interact with the sorb and can travel to your mouth.
We are prototyping new full size scrubber that will eliminate this issue.

How exact are your measurements? Tape measure? We work with pretty tight tolerances, so I want to make sure that the numbers are right. You want to be able to safely close the lid with your new scrubber

I can put one absorbent pad in mine, but not two.

Hi Jakub,

Any more details on this and when it might be in production?

many thanks,

nick

Ok, I have to ask. Has anyone considered a Radial scrubber for the Kiss Classic? With the meg the benefit is an increase in the amount of sorb. With the Kiss, there would be no increase in sorb, actually there may be a decrease, but the WOB would be improved.

Personally I don't consider the WOB on a Classic with 8-12 to be an issue, but others might.

Thoughts?

Understand. 1st set of measurements was from a metal tape measure. I went back and used an AL stick with another one across the top to measure exact depth (i.e. 2nd bar across top and marked bottom on 1st bar). While I don't have an engineer's ruler, I did use 2 different ones to take these measurements.

Mini Meg - 13 7/16" and Full Meg = 17 7/16" (definitely between 7/16" and 1/2")

My preference would be to make it a little shorter than a little longer. I'd rather have to add a pad or 2 than use safety wire to hold the lid on.

If you have a specific way to measure this, let me know and I'll do what I can.

I'll see if I can slide it into this production batch. If not, then next batch which will be about 8 weeks out.
