I had a Conshelf XIV 1st stage go 20+ years sitting on a shelf as old stock then dove till failing at 37 years... Yes, It went 37 years without service... Here's the thread... Super Free - Flow...

Buy yourself a brand new Conshelf XIV and it'll last you a life time... Never going to run out of parts.. No special tools needed and super easy to work on.. Oh... And they have a really nice cool factor...

Wow dude. Wow. I'm looking into it
 
I mean.. can you even buy Conshelf's new?

It seems like that design must've been replicated in something new-er..
 
The only reason I went with a DS4 is that it's sealed, it's also smaller and just as simple to service requiring no speciality tools, bar a pin spanner which isn't really specialty anyway. You can get a sealed Conshelf 14 by the way.

Mine are mostly Conshelf supreme XIV that are environmentally sealed.. With silicone fluid.. There is a update mod that makes them dry sealed..

I really love this response. It's got me thinking 100% in the right direction.

1) I want something that's going to be able to take 5-6 dives a day, 5-6 days a week for 10 yrs (Salt Water Ocean, Chlorine Pool, Mostly shallow). And that's not going to let me down (w/ regular service, of course).
...That's why I was thinking Titanium...not bc of the high price tag.

2) I'm for sure going to be qualified to service whatever Reg I buy by the time I leave. So, labor's not an issue. But I'm obviously going to need parts. I'm going to need to go with a big-name brand that's not going to go out of business, for sure. The price difference in service kits from brand to brand, reg to reg.. it's at most like $20 difference a year as far as what I've seen.

Suggestions? Does Diaphragm (environmentally sealed/dry) vs. Piston (less moving parts) come into play here?

The regulator that you can purchase now that most closely meets your needs is the AL Core Supreme (was the Titan LX).

Those DS4's only come in DIN, correct?

That's good that there's an update mod that makes them dry sealed.. I've heard that Silicone crap is expensive as hell.
