The sales rep for Extendair told me that some customers are reporting 6-8 hour durations in 80 degree water. He said tests were going to be performed so they can verify this and thus update the durations based on water temp.
He also stated that they always stick to saying 2 hours because they know that works..until further documentation comes out he does not recommend anything over 2 hours.
The sales rep ... 8 hours, yeah, right. In shallow, warm water using a Mk15 or RB80 maybe, but with the cartridge in a Dolphin? I rather doubt that. Think about it: There is less absorbent in the cannister, because a) the cannister is round rather than oval as the stock scrubber, and b) the absorbent is mated to a grid of some sort, I asume a plastic, which the is 'rolled up' with still more space in between ... .
Somehow that adds up to less scrubber time rather than more. Hence 2 hrs rather than 3 or 4.
The idea is good, the stuff handles very clean and easy. If I have to change scrubber, especially on a boat, I'd rather do it this way. But not or that price ... . And for extended range it just isn't giving enough time.
By the way, am I the only one worried and suprised that they're only running the tests NOW ? That stuff's being sold for a while ... :upset:
