OK I've add the Molecular Products, How a diving carbon dioxide absorber works, to the library.

I see your point but don't agree with you at all. I'm still a greenie but I would meen that a half full scrubber would meen a shorter gas travel through the sorb. My concern is that in a situation with heavy work load or problems expired gas will not be in active scrubber material for a suffecient amount of time to remove all CO2 = bad spiral.
Perhaps you should see it the other way around and say: With a full scrubber I need to go diving a bit more..

instead of reducing safety.

Just my 2 cents

Dive safe

I tell you Tony: About 4years ago, I had a VERY bad experience on my modifyed KISS-Dolphin, with a socalled "spacer".... exactly the same isue, as Soren described, so if you descide to go for a solution like that, please be carefull and NEVER go deep.

I dont understand the principle in wanting less sorb to do shorter dives. If the dives are that much shorter (obviously not deep too)...dive OC...it still exists!

I was just looking at BREAK.com, but I ended up finding the funniest thing here!!

Thanks to all for their input, it became quite clear early on that this was a bad idea. I had heard that AP had made an adaptor but it is clear that these are lying in peoples sheds and were a no

Cheers

The one thing I've heard about the Inspiration is any sort of modification null and voids the warranty. I'm guessing a half fill would fall into this category. AP is almost as bad as Apple (computers).

Sorry - <snip>- Just what kind of warranty would you expect them to offer?

Would you expect a warranty from your manufacturer if you took off your car's wheels and replaced them with some from a scooter?

I have a friend who has been told that even if he even buys batteries for his Inspiration that are not sold by AP, then it voids the warranty. Do you catch the subtle difference?

Think you will find APD are simply trying to identify batteries that deliver enough performance for the solenoid to work properly
