New Meg Radial Scrubber

seeboth · 13th May 2008, 17:54

i was just talking with ISC about ordering a new copis meg with the radial scrubber instead of the axial and was told it would be a $500 upgrade, in my mind well worth it

Does the standard size require a spacer? Or does it just sit on the bottom of the can?

Nope, no spacer required. I did measure the distance from the bottom to ensure that as well.

Where can I order it??

I'd rather have the 2 additional pounds of sorb (Golem Radial= 10lbs of measured sorb).

My ISC radial holds about 10 lbs of 8-12.

Hey Spyros,

I can hear you thinking on this one

I have to say that after my second trip with a prism diver, that radial scrubbers seem to be worth their weight in gold in terms of sorb use and airline overage getting too a remote destination. Our friend with the prism consistently uses about 30% less sorb than we did, in part because starting a second day of diving with the deepest dive first was plausible on a radial that still had half it's duration left while the axial was consistently too far gone to feel safe taking it on a additional demanding dive.

the two things I want to add to my copis are a needle valve and a ISC's radial scrubber.

Hello Outlaw,

the unit in the picture is the twinmeg built by Tom Jaspers from the Netherlands, trimiX.net.
He uses aluminium 232 bar cylinders, 3 ltr in black paint.
I spent a week's diving with this guy and he's really incredible underwater with this VERY heavy unit.
