Perhaps a stupid question, but does the sleeve simply reduce the amount of carbon buildup OR does it reduce the amount of millivolts produced?

According to my husband who worked with the local gas company indicated that the sleeve just maintains the positioning of the thermopile relative to the flame.

Carbon filtration usually will remove most of it, around 70-85% in normal use. Reverse osmosis would remove the rest

I am usually able to keep the sleeve on for a solid 20 minutes and any longer after that simply depends on the ambient temperature. I am very satisfied with this product!

Yes!! The only part that this sleeve doesn't cover is inside of your arm, below the armpit to the elbow. It really needs time to freeze between applications though - but it gets nice and cold.

It generates a fairly strong breeze for the size of it. It does need to be aimed where you want the breeze to go directly to. I loved it while in Portugal and Spain last month. It's not going to cool you all over, since it is small. I'm not sure what you mean by up a shirt or sleeve? I also bought a stronger battery for longer life, online for $5.

Depends on where you're venting to. I have mine through the kitchen wall venting into the garage. I don't use a sleeve because it's not exposed to weather. Otherwise, if I vented to outside, then yes, I'd use a sleeve. If you didn't want to use it and are still venting to outside, then I'd at least put a winter season cover (with elastic straps) around it so as to not let cold air get into house and, of course, keep warm air from escaping.

I don't think it has quite as strong an effect as with other stuff in the frig but it still works there. Also if stuff is in plastic bags I don't think it works quite as well because the ozone air isn't getting to the veggies. I am still trying to get past my 'old' way of doing things.

This carbon is extruded (cylindrical). Average piece is 3/4 inch long by 1/8 inch in diameter. I use this carbon in my Ocean Clear chemical canister for fresh water tropical fish. I have used this filter system for over 20 years and this is the best carbon I have found for the money. It has a large surface area and keeps the water flowing for a long time. I used to use the standard carbon and it would plug with debris quicker causing the need to change the carbon much more often. This is the best canister carbon there is for the money bar none!

I have no idea if it decreases air flow. I would not even know how to measure that. I have purchased my second filter replacement fore the newer setup and I am happy that it is so easy to install versus the older setup where we had to mess with those ribs.

Not very much, it is one of the lighter pads (sorry, that's the best I can do). My son has used it for the past 6 months on weekend boy scout backpacking trips and it has been great (temps in the 30s F at times). He has had to patch one small hole so far. He used it on a 10-day Philmont scout ranch 72 mile hike. He said it worked great at Philmont; temps in the 40s at night.

The Unit comes with two lids, one for carbonating it and the other for storing. I have left it in the frig for a couple of days and have not noticed any reduction in carbonation. It is just like any carbonated beverage in this way. If you use part of it and reseal it, that puts more air space in the bottle causing it to loss some of its carbonation.

It is the standard fine, but if you use it with the filter that's already there it may be easier to clean the filter faster. It also may cut down on how often you have to clean the filter. I'm thinking this sleeve may catch most of the pet hair.

It is really just preference. I am using mine in a 14 gallon biocube in the 3rd chamber so it really doesn't show. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I have not experienced this however, it does reduce mineral buildup within the unit.

I love neoprene sleeves for lightweight laptop protection, but it can keep your laptop TOO warm if you're not careful. Neoprene is used in dive suits as an insulator (among other reasons) and it can prevent your laptop from cooling if you shut down and immediately stick it in the sleeve. If your laptop has high temp generating components like gaming graphics cards, then let it cool a bit before inserting it in one of these.

Can't say. I do yoga and pilates to keep my lower back stable. Haven't noticed any effect with the sleeves.

Hi Squash, yes it does! Thank you Vicki383 for replying yes to that. We've had customers write in and comment how pore size was reduced.
