Dangerous Azimuth scrubber

I sense could make of controlling document of reading difficulty if I tried hard very. If in controlling document reading your eyes you squint sense the document more can make.

Hello everybody !
I only just joined because of this thread.

I also posess an Azimuth with the same scrubber problem.
At my scrubber there is no continuous weld. There are only 8 small points welded around it. It can be clearly seen from the outside, but I also checked from the inside using a small 12V-lightbulb soldered directly to small wires. The wires can be seen in one of the pictures. I needed the light, because there was no other way with my digital camera to make a photo of the inside.

I bought the rebreather not yet 3 years ago from another diver from germany. He claimed that it was only 1 year old. Judging from the bottles (1998) and the fact that it also got a MARES-jacket I never believed this.
I think it's older than that. But as it was in excellent condition I really did not care.

I had a look at the rebreather again, but could not find a serial number.
As I have moved 3 times since I bought it, I do not know where to find the documents right now, that I received with the rebreather. Maybe there is more info.

My scrubber is about 26.5 cm long and has got a metal lid with white plastic to push down the sorb, like it could already be seen on another photo.

As I was planning to finally get my Azimuth back into the water this year, I really appreciate this thread. I hope every delivered unit with this fault may be spotted and fixed soon.

Hi Garibeos
my partner, MHD, also has a Mares Azimuth and it too does not have a serial number. MHD has previously had difficulty getting info from the manufacturer as he was unable to give them a serial number.

Maybe the unit was new to the guy you bought it from, but had been sitting around in shop storage since its manufacture. or maybe he bought it and never dived it.

As we are in Australia and the scrubber weighs a ton, it will be interesting to see what arrangement the manufacturer will come up with. sending to italy won't come cheaply or quickly. preferably just send out a new one if we provide evidence that the old one is destroyed. in the mean time, as i'm not diving, MHD can use my SK.
