no that's not how it works.You are quoting me, not stuartv.
It don’t see how it matters that the scrubber is a “rigid volume”. What matters is how far the gas has to travel away from the lungs, and where that farthest point is is in relation to the surface. Gas always wants to find a way to the surface/up. Whether the gas is inside plastic, rubber or ballistic nylon, when it’s in the loop, it’s subject to ambient pressure and the physics that go with it.

If you have a rigid volume you can put that as deep as you want and its not relevant. Imagine a pipe traveling down from the surface of a pool to a drum at 6ft depth then coming back up your DSV at the surface - that whole system has no additional WOB compared to the same pipes laying out in your yard.
The position of the flexible bits - in this case the counterlungs - is what dictates the hydrostatic load.

Just wait for Brad Horn's perennial questions in 1, 2, 3...

...I assembled on 620 and one 260 onto the same Mk 25, so they would have exactly the same IP feeding them both. I used the stock hoses that came on both, so that each 2nd had the same exact hose feeding it.
I dived it like that. To me, I could feel a slight difference between the two - the G260 breathed just a little bit nicer than the S620Ti. I let a friend dive that reg set and she concluded the same thing...
But credit where credit is due, this unit is awesome. If you don't believe me, you can come try mine for free.
Hi Stuart,
I was just wondering about the depths and RMVs for these test dives. It has always been my impression that on relatively shallow dives and/or with normal/regular RMVs, that all regulators would generally perform OK, without major differences.
Deeper depths and higher RMVs might bring out some differences between regs. On several occasions, with serious exertion, I have pushed very good regs to the point where the WOB, particularly on exhalation, was noticeable. Perhaps you have done this also.
Of course, there are other characteristics, other than WOB, that might lead one to prefer one reg over another.
Very best and good diving, Craig
