Search results for query: leaking inflators

I am a big fan of the AIR 2 inflator/regulator for my type of diving, so I am not interested in another pissing match thread over how these things are dangerous. Anyway, I have a few Scuba Pro Air 2's, a few TUSA clones that seem absolutely identical and also an Atomic SS1. I always assumed...

Yes it's two different view points and operating procedures. Some diver's replace components when they break or fail. Others replace components on a timed/interval rate. For me certain components have burned me in the past out at sea far away from a repair facility/parts. So I replace them...

First thought, a shot of compressed air will feel cold/wet against the skin. That is why many drysuits have a flap over the inflator. To distribute the air so you don't get a localized shot of air against the body. If you are actually getting wet it would have to be an unpressurized seal in...

I've always just done it right side out so I can use the inflater easily.

I would just move it manually as it takes thirty seconds and the above looks like a mess. There’s also the Santi valves. That said, https://www.divegearexpress.com/dgx-dust-cap-lp-2nd-stage-9-16-inch-f May require using an oring on the male side depending on the length of the threads. 013ish.

Even a some what significant leak is meaningless during a dive, Very rarely is the bc fully inflated and during use, you are adding and dumping considerable portions of air to adjust buoyancy, so a pin hole leak means nothing. Even if you were lost at sea, having to orally add some air into...

Personally I find LP quick connects and tank yoke orings to be the most leak prone, I mainly do fresh water diving, I can see it being different in continuous salt water, and naturally we probably will have different problem points, Also unless something is loose and backed off, orings...

It shouldn’t leak.

Not today, but fairly recently. Serves as a reminder to not be overweighted. I was not, so it was manageable. Noticed during pool session for a class that my Octo Z was bubbling from the release/manual inflate button. Dive shop noticed that the button was stripped, so they replaced it...

Hello and thanks for any help you can give me ... Got the BCD I wanted for my return to diving after 15? years ... Scubapro Classic Black without the internal weight system ..Looks to be in good shape ..came with an air 2 ...from ebay ... BUT ...There is a small leak where the power inflation...

SiTech neck and wrist seals, dry gloves. Haven't dove it or leak tested it in 3 years. Was dry last time I dove it, but no gurantees. Was my backup suit, but just got a new one and don't need two backups. Will include inflator hose. $465 shipped CONUS, venmo or paypal +4% for G&S

Interesting... I actually would prefer the regulators basically never free flow so I might consider that a pro, assuming the inhalation is effort is low. I've found with some regulators (other regular g250s) I feel like they were inflating me, I'd go to take a normal breath and then get air...

As much as I agree fully, I had that with my One Endurance on pretty much every seam way before 400 dives

I had a similar problem of not being able to find the leaks in my dry suit until I turned the suit inside out before I inflated it. It is a little hard to get it zipped up through the neck seal and you have to inflate it with an air compressor through the wrist seal. The inside of my suit at...

This is a great travel or beginner setup. I've been diving it for the past 18 months in Cozumel, Great Barrier Reef, and local quarry. REGULATORS: Mares 15X 1st Stage with Prestige second stage and octo. I bought these new in Sep 2022 and used them for over 22 dives in the past 18 months. They...

I never had any leaks with more than 12 year old Orings for my sea and sea strobes. The Orings are still not damaged, so why replace them? I think it is really a problem with the cap you have, and not directly with the oring. OR, and that is really an OR, what kind of silicone grease do you...

It will the maker if you can give an idea of where the leak is, if they were concerned with basic trouble shooting I may be hesitant to dive their gear. If there is a zipper I would remove the bladder and test it without the cover, on the other hand since you have other gear sending it back for...

2 - Apeks Tx 100 DIN First Stages. One with a Tx100 Second Stage, the other with a Tx50 Second Stage. Set of for doubles. Comes with a 7' Reg hose, inflator hose, a 24" Reg hose, Brass SPG 3 Extra 30" Reg hoses Rebuild kits for first and second stages included. I checked these for leaks and...

You're not going to know until you leak test it. You can test it yourself or have a shop do it. Use a gallon jug to seal neck and appropriate size plastic bottles at wrists. Inflate suit and spray suit with soapy water. It doesn't need a lot of pressure. Just fill suit with air and kneel on it...

When I leak tested my suit, I used a small mooring buoy to block the neck seal and suspend it. It worked great. I also used my dryglove system to block the wrist seals, and like you, I inflated it via the chest inflator: The dump valve should not leak. The valve may not be screwed together...
