Rich,
The only similarity between Kevins rig maintenance practices and mine are
"they are done while we are awake".

In Fiji last year I ran my canister to 11.5 hours with no ill effects,
obviously the warm water opened the window wider. Like the military guys
said however the "stuff is cheap" why take a chance. 

A thought I had while deciding on limiting the time, or extending the time,
on the canister had to do with "off days" of my physical shape. I run and
pump iron to keep in shape and like most people, on ocassion I have off
days. Some days it's just not as easy to run the hill or push the extra
plates up. Some people would call these bio-rythms. Do you think that these
off days could have an effect on the bodies ability to withstand certain
levels of co2 vs the good days being able to withstand more. If so how do
you know when you are going to have a bad or good day and when and how far
you should push the canister. Will you be able to push it as far every time?



John
