The mass of metal in the MES EcoSilencer will be comparable to a similarly sized silencer/spark arrester. The addition of water into the system results in a weight increase of 50% over that of a typical silencer installation. The design of the unit restricts the area of the free surface of the water, thus improving stability concerns. Actual details depend upon the installation.
