It seems like the more I dive my CCR, the more I spend on sorb. In the beginning, a keg of Sorb was lasting almost a year. Now it's March and I'm already working on my 3rd keg. WTH!?


At any rate, I can't continue at this rate, so I've decided to buy in bulk to save money. To be exact, I ordered 64 kegs of it. My cost (and yours if you want some) is $100 per keg. I can deliver to cave country if need be, or many places in Florida. Just let me know. I've already found a home for 17 kegs and I'm keeping 5 for myself.


email me at petermccumber@gmail.com if you want some.
 
Maybe you should be specific about what you're getting. 4-8? 8-12? Intersorb? Sofnalime? It matters to some folks.
 
Yup, you are right...
It's 812, and it might piss some people off if I post exactly what it is, since I'm not exactly selling at MAP. So send me a PM if you need more specifics. At any rate, there's only 39 left.

Only 34 Kegs left!
 
Well if it is Sofnolime, you are selling it for $5.75 less than getting it from AddHelium with free shipping. If you are selling the other stuff, then I would not buy it anyway. Independent testing demonstrated that Intersorb is 20% less efficient with single use. It is even less efficient with multiple use. It is also very dusty!

So you get even less than what you pay for.

OP selling it for $100 per keg. Add Helium selling it for $145 per keg. Not exactly a $5.75 difference. Dopey doctors. ;)

????
When I look at it, my math comes to $45? Maybe you get a better price.
I still have 4 1/2 kegs left and haven't been paying attention to the price lately. I was surprised to see how much it has gone up.

Dooh' You beat my fat fingered typing :)

Me thinks you are bad at math. The retailer you referenced is $145. I'm $100

I just counted what I have left, and it looks like only 6 kegs. If you need some, let me know. This will probably be gone by tomorrow. Send me an email, it comes directly to my phone. I won't have time to check the boards tomorrow.

Do you have test results you can share?
rEvo stated usage time is the same as 797 for sane water temps.


Sofnolime 797
rEvo with standard axial scrubbers:
water temp >15°C: one cycle every 3 hours, or refilling both canisters after 4.5 hours

Intersorb 812
rEvo with standard axial scrubbers:
water temp >15°C: one cycle every 3 hours, or refilling both canisters after 4.5 hours
