Kim Smith is traveling but she asked me to pass along this announcement:
Jetsam Technologies, manufacturer of the Classic KISS and Sport KISS
rebreathers is delighted to announce the results of recent scrubber
duration testing. The testing reinforces our previous beliefs regarding how long scrubber will remain effective during diving. This is great
news for KISS rebreather divers everywhere!
Testing was done at ANSTI Test Systems who are based in the United
Kingdom. This independent testing agency, utilizing established, strict scientific standards tested both the Classic KISS and the Sport KISS
rebreathers. The criterion below utilizes a constant rate of CO2 which
is well beyond what any human could produce, for the duration of time
listed below. These tests were conducted in accordance with the EN14143 European CE Standard and utilized Sofnolime 797 grade.
When comparing this data with information provided by other rebreather
manufacturers, it is important to ensure you are comparing “apples to
apples.” It is vital that the durations are based on the same depth,
temperature, CO2 generation and breathing rate.
Why is Jetsam releasing its data? Because we believe all divers should
have as much information as possible to ensure their safety.
Best regards,
Kim Smith
The attached .pdf files show the actual data as well as the testing methodology.
