The inspiration is rated for 3 hours, the evolution is rated for 2 hours. Technically you should only use them for 1 dive as the lime has a mix of CO2 absorbent. Some reacts faster to generate heat and moisture that is a catalyst for the rest of the CO2 absorbent. Many people will use the scrubber for multiple dives just pre-breathing for a little longer
A previous question has still not been answered by AP Diving. Why does this video show a technician using silicone grease and not O2 compatible grease?
I have a problem purchasing a substance you can't condition for reuse such as by heat later. Do they make rebreathers with powder you can reuse by heat means?
I'm not sure how I feel about showing random folks how to used stuff they should only be trained by a qualified tec to do. And that is of course after passing classes and so forth before even touching one. This is how idiots figure out how to die on rebreathers. I'm not on a specific brand mission here but my breather takes alot of steps so no one except property trained rebreather divers can even turn on the unit. Thats probably a good thing. Unfortunately folks have had major issues when they packed scrubbers wrong so I see the reason for the video. To me this is the equivalent of showing random folks how to do the start up sequence on my rebreather and thus assuming responsibility for them doing so in the future. I suggest taking this off public you tube. I'm not aware how many other manufactures currently share operation related info with the public domain. But my opinion applies to them as well. Lets keep our hobby safe and perpetuate safety while diving.
I have been building my own home made rebreathers since I was 8, it really is not that complicated... Well the rig shown here is but you can make much simpler versions that work much better without a lot of imagination or skill.
I had witnessed some people testing semi-homemade soviet military rebreather. How bad it can be? Just try to imagine: no SPG at all, no any depth gauge, no bailout, and solo in water with a funny "shore support" with a camera. I had tried to talk about, and realized that they had no idea about what the scrubber is and what gas in their tanks. It's a miracle that nobody died.
It’s a fair point. However, I think the benefit is this is explained direct from AP. interesting incidents where people have filled incorrectly as a result of instructors only giving their personal knowledge. I don’t see anyone having a go a packing a rebreather and diving in- the seller even in second hand cases is probably likely to say ‘you realise you’ll definitely die if you don’t know what you’re doing’! All adds to the great debates ! 👍🏻
I'm not a diver but I did stay at a Holiday inn Express last night and watch a video on repacking a rebreather
Lol
So much simpler than the prism and meg rebreather scrubbers Definitely going with the Inspiration EVO
Till the old lime into your garden. Tomatoes love it!
How often do you have to refill an inspiration rebreather cartridge? How many dives is it good for?
I can get well over 4 hours with the small one. The manual is conservative and has it rated for less.
The inspiration is rated for 3 hours, the evolution is rated for 2 hours.

This tank is made of plastic? How does it work with the pressure underwater?
The pressure inside the canister, the breathing loop and the water pressure is the same.

Tienes un número para w Up...?
Great video. You don't use 02 grease?

Rouen d'Arc they do! It's called silver oxide. It will only cost about $20,000US to fill your rebreather with it.
Sounds Great for a NASA Space Suit and does not cost a million US Dollars ! Time for an EVA... tjl
surely not silicon grease? Your manuals say o2 compatible grease only.
Thanks for nicely explaination
How much it cost to buy one ?
It doesn't look that complicated so i think it would not be that expensive
You sweet summer child.
Depends on what you consider expensive. It's a lot cheaper than a jet plane, for example.
Ur looking at 9 grand and up
www.apdiving.com/en/rebreathers/configurator/ at time of commenting £6.5K - £8k depending on options
"be careful not to breathe any of the lime dust" - wait aren't I going to be breathing through this? 😅(guess those filters are pretty good)
I want to start using sodium hydroxide

Even if they didn't showed the procedure a 10 year old kid will manage to change this filter At least now you can do it the way they do it
