Mini scubber in normal canister?????

Explorer · 18th October 2006, 22:57

Humm, could one insert the mini Meg's scubber into the normal canister with an additional spacer for those short dives?

Or any suggestion how one could pack just SOME sorb into something for those quickie pool dives. Yea know what I mean?

Very straightforward to do. Just put your two scrubbers side by side and accurately measure the precise difference in height. Get yourself a stub of 6” PVC pipe & turn down the outside diameter in a lathe to just under 6.5 “ (Meg’s inside diameter). Square up both ends and cut it off at your measured height difference. Put it in the can before the stock spacer and you’re good to go.

Just keep in mind the factory recommended max burn time is now as specified for the Mini Meg.

I kind of thought of something like that. Yup, nice and simple. Do you have a setup like this for those short little dives? Dive time limits?

I don't have a Mini Meg, but if memory serves the factory rated burntime for it is 2 hours. Any Mini Meg pilots out there want to chime in & keep me honest?

Many foks tell tales of pushing that time quite a ways in warmer water, but that's hearsay from my perspective.

Anyone have the height dimension for the mini meg scrubber? I'd like to make an insert to go inside the full sized scrubber to lessen the capacity but do not have a mini meg scrubber to get the dimensions from.

Thanks in advance.

Joe
