How much over planned dive time should I have the scrubber? Do I need a bigger scrubber really?

I can see days at Stoney or getting two dives out of the unit in a day being a problem, but then I can just pack another scrubber, as they're cheap enough to make another one.

This is obviously not at the moment, I'm just trying to plan for the future before setting myself up with this scrubber and having to change things later. There's a whole loit of valves and monitors got to go on it before that's going to happen.

Thanks.

right yes you want a bigger scrubber if you going to use the thing for more than pure O2
read what happens when Gordon Henderson is abducted by aliens to explain how

would make me think that you'd want a bigger scrubber 2.5 kg seems good (3hrs ish)

i'm not changing my scrubber i'm afraid you'll have to buy (as if) bui;d your own - good for a laugh just bolt a dustbin on your back
