Used Sorb Question.

[Capt Morgan]

Next of my dumb questions is ..........
How long can a used fill be kept and still be used again ?
I have used the sorb for one hour then fitted a narked@90
Scrubber cover and would like to know how long it can sit
before being used again and if the duration of use should be
reduced ?

Until your next dive. Stick within the use guide lines (3 hrs, shallower than...) but its a chemical so what's to go off?

I filled my unit in October, did a dive, never dived CCR again over the winter and used the same fill last month.

I'd say it would last a while

Thanks folks.
I did say it was a stupid question
Get ready for more, I've only started.
I thought it would be ok but someone questioned
the wisdom of using it and spooked me a bit

[Ken Hawk]

They say the only stupid question is the 1 you didn't ask.
There is a good chance you may prove that wrong

I didn't spook ye did I

As long as its well packed and not able to shift in the canister it will be fine...

Well you got me thinking of how long it would keep.

Well I know even less than you about ccrs than you but it gets me how folk pay 1.7 to 8k on a unit then worry about saving £3 on sorb

Biggist issue is forgetting how much life is left in the stack

Why throw something that is still good out ?
I don't drain my twins before refilling them
so why toss the sorb if it's got a dive or two left ?

It will last, but at the same grow you a nice culture in there I would suggest.

The scrubber works on heat & moisture; nice home to some bugs.

I will keep it max a month in between dives & never anything more than a puddle dive on used scrubbers. This is also based on having a co2 sensor to give me a heads up. Before that a week or two max.

It is probably wasting £3 of scrubber if you swap out. The significant issue is what part of your scrubber is used?

Go with what your taught, too many deaths due to somebody unqualified to understand the full risk gives advice!

Just my opinion.

As I say, I don't know enough about it, just seems some folk push the scrubber sometimes for the sake of a few £ s of lime.
I am sure your top class instructor will tell you what you should and shouldn't do.

I would like to here what gobshite thinks about it, he seems to give honest no bullshit answers

We had a really good discussion on this subject back on the other forum and the general view was store a part used stack in an air tight container, well marked with dates and usage, for months on end but don't take the piss...
I would suggest a new stack for each deep/long dive however..
Interesting subject..
