Looks v good! What is your impression of the scrubber canister. Is it very solid - how thick is the plastic. I notice there are two plastic lugs at the top that the head screws into. They look prone to breakage to me? How is the seal made between the head and the canister?

Hi Andy
the scrubber canister is about 5mm thick very tough indeed, the bayonet lugs look like Delrin, Stefan is that right ? The seal is by double Orings, as to prone to breakage, I doubt it as the lugs are only for positioning they are not load bearing at all.

Will do a teardown after training next week.

Cheers
Chris
