An couple of hour's work and some pipe fittings should take care of that
should these units ever make it to the American market - I'm told they take
rules much more seriously over there than we do.
Does anyone know more about this unit? Someone mentioned these units being
used extensively as rentals, where the modular refill system might be
ideal. But given the fuss and muss of zorb and mix, and the
simplicity/safety of air for rec diving, one has to wonder why bother. Just
to get rid of the bubbles?
