Scubapro dust caps are just dust caps, if you want to soak it unpressurized get a screw on cap that properly engages the DIN o ring.
La mayoria de las veces, cuando tenemos corrosion dentro de las las primeras etapas, ( eso ocurre en todas), es debido al aire que suministra en compresor de carga, a los compresores y sus sistemas de decantacion y separacion de agua le cuesta mucho entregar aire 100 por 100 seco, por lo cual al cabo del tiempo y el uso, los reculadores presentan corrosion y depositos calcareos.No sé qué es el bloqueo hidráulico, pero la corrosión dentro del regulador debido a la entrada de agua es algo real.
This is only partially true.If you find a discarded sinter filter at the local dive shop you can try a small experiment. Fill it with water and it will hold it like a cup of tea without dripping any down through the other side. That sinter filter installed at the entry point or inlet in a 1st stage (whether Yoke or Din) is designed to let only pressurised air pass through.
So even if some water does leak into the inlet through the dust cap while it is soaking in a tub, it’s not going to pass through into the regulator innards.

Well?????????No doubt, from salt water. But from fresh water, that got past the dust cap, while rinising?
Some one remind me to check on these in a month:

The Mk2 went in with an IP of 142psi, and the 2950 went in with 168psi.
