Response to FREEDIVE WI regarding scrubber life in the Inspiration.

Scrubber is rated for 3 hours and they teach you to reduce the life in cold water. Below are the general rules for the scrubber which I lifted from Divermole's website. I know for a fact that many Inspiration divers run their scrubbers much longer than 3 hours. However, some of the deaths on the unit have potentially been linked to overuse of the scrubber.

As far as keeping track of the scrubber life, there is a timer built into the control computer that tracks total time that the system has been powered up. Some people use this to track scrubber time. Others write it down in a logbook or just remember it. I use the logbook method myself, unless it is obvious. For example, if I just did a 3 hour dive, I don't write it down anywhere, I just change the chemical.

If you run the scrubber for 3 hours, you are looking at cost of about $7 per hour of dive time for the scrubber chemical.

The Golden Scrubber Rules
1. Only use Sofnolime 797

2. Maximum scrubber time 180 minutes

3. Be shallower than 50m at all times after 100 minutes use

4. Be shallower than 20m at all times after 140 minutes use

5. If in doubt, tip it out

6. Always re-grease and check the fitting of the scrubber O ring and spacer

7. If you don't follow 1 - 6 fine, but don't moan if you get injured or die!
