What kind of post dive maintenance are you guys doing? Do you flush the system? If so, how?

While removing your drysuit take care to drain as much urine out of the condom and tube as possible... after disconnecting the condom from the tube take care to *spill* any urine left in the condom onto the ground (or deck) instead of inside your suit... CF200 are a pain to rinse out inside and take a long time to dry.

I leave a little water in my drinking bottle just for the next step.... pour some water down the tube and then blow it clear (yes, using your mouth) and you are done... well you still have to remove the condom but that can wait until later if you have properly drained it.

I vote for the Rochester Wide Band (I know, I know, it sounds like a cigar). About $1.50 -1.70 in small quantities over the net.

Also a quick disconnect allows you to get the equipment on you ahead of time and easily in an open boat in mixed company "hook up" to the tubing. If you get the QD with a valve you won't have the problem of peeing all over yourself, boat and so on and you can flush it at your leisure. However it require that you carry an extra QD fitting to allow you to use the unit when you are not hooked up.

I leave it on until I get back to a hot shower. Soap and warm water ease taking it off.
