rEvo Rebreather Overview
rEvo Dual Scrubber System
rEvo features a unique dual scrubber system. Some advantages of this design include:
Lower Profile
by essentially cutting a traditional tube style single scrubber in half and turning it, with the flat side towards the divers back, you reduce the overall width of the rebreather by cutting down voids where circular scrubbers meet flat mounting surfaces
Reduced Chance of Channeling (CO2 not being removed)
By having two scrubbers we reduce the likelihood of mis-packing Two Scrubbers for a dive over a single scrubber
Less Wasted CO2 Absorbent
By cycling the rEvo split scrubbers over multiple dives (dumping the top scrubber, moving the bottom to the top, and replacing the bottom with a fresh scrubber) you reduce wasted absorbent over single scrubber designs in which you will eventually throw away an unused required portion of the scrubber
Fast Scrubber Changing
While more a product of the easy drop in scrubber setup, the reasonable price of the rEvo scrubber allows many divers to have a third fully packed scrubber on hand for quick scrubber changing during surface intervals

rEvo Split
Backplate/ Harness
The rEvo Rebreather comes standard with its own split backplate/harness system.
The split design of the harness allows for the divers back to be closer to the mounting surface and counterlungs behind them.
This provides the advantages of:
Lower work of breathing due to hydrostatic load
Lower profile and streamlining of the unit as a whole
Breathing Hoses/DSV
rEvo Rebreather DSV
This lightweight and compact DSV provides excellent work of breathing in all conditions and has been used with great success to depths in excess of 600'. It is user serviceable and easily operated by rotating the opening using the selector knob
rEvo Rebreather Mouthpiece Retaining Head Strap
The Drager Mouthpiece Retaining Head Strap is meant to keep the mouthpiece in a divers mouth in the event of unconsciousness. It has the added benefit of reducing jaw fatigue while swimming or scootering as well as protecting your lips from those awful jelly fish stings! (trust us on that one)
Loop Hoses
Each revo comes with heavy duty corrugated loop hoses, as well as loop hose weights and embroidered rEvo loop hose covers
3 Button
MAV (Manual Add Valve)
The rEvo Rebreather's 3 Button MAV allows you to manually inject Oxygen or Diluent into your rebreather.
The off-board function also allows you to add gas from a secondary gas source via a Low Pressure Inflator similar to those found on most BC's and Drysuits.
rEvo Tank Brackets
Each rEvo Rebreather features a quick lock, slide in tank attachment system. This makes installing and removing tanks a breeze. It can accommodate a wide variety of sized and shaped tanks from carbon fiber to steel.
Accessory Mounts
The rEvo Rebreather QuadroLock Accessory Mounts allow for sturdy attachment of accessories such as a drysuit inflation bottle or canister light to the sides of the counterlung case.
By simply lifting the quick locking tab and sliding the bracket your accessories are easily removed for cleaning, charging, filling or storage
rEvo Stainless Steel Lifting Handle
The rEvo Rebreather includes a heavy duty stainless steel lifting handle
It also serves the secondary purpose of protecting hoses and wiring connections located at the top of the unit. Especially beneficial in overhead environments such as wrecks or caves!
rEvo Weight Pocket
This rEvo Rebreather weight pocket fits comfortably at the top of the unit and is capable of holding up to 8lbs for those divers who need a big more weight to get down or help with trim
