i would suggest cleaning the unit (any closed unit)at least at the end of
the day of diving, it's not that big of a deal, and will indeed get much 
easier as the units change and become more user friendly.

also on this line, i posted yesterday or the day before that the scrubber
canister has a five hour duration, mistake on my part, typing too fast and
not paying attention.  thanks to tracy robinette who lurks on the list
from
time to time, of course there are many different factors that govern this
cannister time, temp diver use and size, etc, trace said it would be
better to
say that the unit has a time of somewhere between 2.5 and 3.5 hours.  some
may get more time.

aloha,
